Garage Door Monitors
By Ken Wilssens

The garage door monitor is designed to monitor the status of your garage door and advise you if the door is open. By placing the sensor on the door panel, you will be alerted when the door is open. When the garage door is open, receiver will beep and flash. You can have several sensors installed in several rooms of the house when you are not sure exactly where you will be at any particular time. When the garage door is left open, flashing red lights will alert you to the problem and when the door is closed there will be a steady green light.

The sensor also monitors that batteries and will let you know when they need to be replaced. A lithium battery is included when you purchase the system, so it won't need to be replaced very often because this type of battery has a long life. The operating range is about 300 feet and is very easy to set up. You simply mount the sensor above the garage door with the included Velcro strip and plug the receiver into an electrical outlet inside your home.

When you purchase a garage door opener you will always have the option to purchase a monitor as one of the accessories for the door. You don't have to purchase it at the same time, because this system can be installed at any time. It offers you complete protection, not only against the possibility of thieves gaining access to the garage and possible stealing your tools and other items, including your car, but it also prevents small animals and other pests from getting in.
