Is the garage attached to the house?, if so could you add a sensor to the house alarm.

Not attached, and no house alarm anyway

I don't think you should publicise the fact, Steve.

I used those ultrasecure alarms a while ago. Don’t think that i paid anywhere near that amount for them though. I think that the reason i gave up on them was that they were so temperamental, especially the fob to switch on and off, plus false alarms which is annoying when it’s at a storage container.
A cheap £9 Lidl one saved my tools a few years back. When some scum bust into my garage.

Yeah! I spent this and I spent that, the best advice and comment I can make based on BITTER experience, is, don't waste your time on small chancey things do it ALL in one. Get in a reputable man, do the house plus wire in the garage/sheds and whatever else in one, use a hard-wired system they cannot block with plenty of sounders. They may still give it a go (they did me) but the word got around and the pro's leave me alone, you will always get the odd crack-head who wants drug money, but, they haven't the tools to get through decent building work. Good luck, Derek.

I had exactly the same issues with the ultra secure alarm.
