Garage and outbuilding security
Security for garages, outbuildings, gates and detached areas
Detached garages, workshops, garden buildings and longer driveways often need more than a standard house-alarm layout. NOX assesses distance, communication, power, access and the value or activity within each area before designing the protection.
Designed around the property
Separate buildings need reliable communication and the right detection method
The design may use door protection, movement detection, MotionCam, external detection, CCTV, sirens or a combination. Signal range, construction, power, weather exposure and how the space is used determine the sensible route.
- ✓ Detached garage alarm protection
- ✓ Workshop and garden-building coverage
- ✓ Gate and driveway approaches
- ✓ CCTV for vehicles and external areas
- ✓ External detection where suitable
- ✓ Signal and power assessment
- ✓ Night-mode and part-arm options
- ✓ One app or joined-up handover where compatible
How NOX delivers the project
From survey to handover and ongoing support
Site and distance review
We inspect the main house, detached spaces, boundaries, routes, construction and likely communication obstacles.
Layered design
Alarm detection, CCTV, external protection and control are selected around each area rather than treated as one room.
Range and installation checks
Power, network, radio range, cable routes, mounting positions and weather exposure are confirmed.
Handover by area
Users are shown how to arm, view and manage the house and external spaces without making daily use complicated.
More detail
Installation, operation and long-term support
Alarm protection
Door contacts, movement detection and photo verification can protect the building before or after entry depending on the design.
Perimeter warning
Suitable external detectors can identify movement around driveways, gates or approaches before the main building is reached.
CCTV evidence
Cameras can provide live and recorded views of vehicles, access points, paths and vulnerable external areas.
Phased expansion
Larger properties can be delivered in stages where the core system, coverage and future capacity are planned properly from the start.

From the very first phone call with Isaac, everything felt straightforward and reassuring. He took the time to explain our options, answered all our questions, and helped design a system that made sense for our building and our budget. No pushy sales tactics at all, which was refreshing.

Common questions
Clear answers before you commit
Can an Ajax alarm protect a detached garage?
Often yes, but distance, construction, signal conditions and hub capacity must be checked at the property.
Can a garage have its own keypad or controls?
Suitable Ajax systems can use additional control devices, tags or app permissions depending on the final design.
Can CCTV and an alarm cover the same outbuilding?
Yes. Alarm detection and CCTV solve different parts of the requirement and can be designed together.
What if there is no internet in the outbuilding?
The answer depends on the system type. Some alarm devices communicate with the main hub, while CCTV may need cabling, wireless bridging or another network solution.
Can you protect gates and driveways?
Yes, using suitable CCTV, external detection or a combination after the approach, boundaries, animals and normal movement have been considered.
