Entrance monitor

I've got a Bosch alarm system at my business that is monitored by a local company. The keypad is a D222; control panel is a D2212B - very basic system. When it's disarmed during working hours, monitored doors being opened cause an alert at the control panel. Before calling them, I'm wondering if the following is possible.

While still small, we've got quite a spread-out campus when you're the only one here. It would be nice to have a remote receiver small enough for a shirt pocket that would alert the same way as the control panel when a monitored door is opened.

That way, if I'm solving a problem back in the server room and can't hear the control panel, I'm still alerted to a customer, delivery person, etc. entering.

For that matter, it doesn't have to be part of the Bosch. I could install something to the primary front door myself if I knew what to look for that had the capability of signalling a wireless remote receiver.

Any ideas?

How far away is the server room from the delivery/front door?

Yah, you could probably call your alarmco and have them install, program a relay and sounder...but it'd probably be easier and more usable if you used something like this:

Just shoot the motion across any area you want to cover....inside or outside. I like these for stores because if you contact just the door and the weather is nice and the door is propped open...the door switch style will not work.

Ideally I'd like the signal to reach 40 paces (200'?) to the poured concrete wall of another building and another 15 paces inside it. Basically something a 900 mhz phone has trouble with even with a door in that other building standing open.

Do you have a phone system?

Do you have extensions in all the areas you are likely to be?

Does it have wireless extension capability?

Does it have programmable alarm inputs?

Sometimes there is more than one way to approach a problem. At my office there is an intercom by the front door. The fornt door is always locked from the outside. When somebody hits the intercom it rings the office phones. If nobody is in the office the office the alarm is armed (hopefully). Arming the alarm switches the intercom station from ringing the office phones to an autodialer that calls my cell phone. I'm not saying this is the answer for you, but as I said there is more than one solution. The above mentioned system can also be tripped with a simple push button, or even some other form of external switch like a normally open door contact.
