We're acquiring a new property, right next door to (25' away) our current home.
We're looking to turn it into office spaces, one of which will be for my wife's business. We'd rent out the other two spaces. I've attached a floor plan below.
The property is a single level home with 3 rooms, shared bath and kitchen. I'd like to offer "security" as a selling feature as well as minimize the administrative issues of lost keys, etc. So I'm thinking of an electric strike or electromagnetic lock on the exterior door using prox cards for entry with key locks on the interior doors to keep the overall costs down. This way if an office changes tenants, we can simply dupe the internal key, not care if the old one doesn't return, issue a new prox card for building access and disable the old card if it's not returned.
For each space, I'm thinking of one of the DSC Bravo 5 combo 360 degree motion/glass breaks that were mentioned in an earlier post along with a 4 wire smoke and M1-KPAS. The windows have existing mag contact sensors, which we'd connect to, that are currently wired to a well worn Moose!
Having a KPAS in each office would allow me to setup each office as a different area and allow each tenant to arm their space individually.
As mentioned in an earlier post, we'd trench between the properties and extend the M1 bus to the new building where I'd put in an XIN (or two) for the sensors, a KP2 for the main door and probably a DBH to connect everything up. Also thinking of adding a remote XSP for some security lighting automation and rate-of-rise/fixed temperature sensors.
Any suggestions or thoughts on this?
Thank you
