Default Decent garage alarm how much to pay and what to get?

As above-I dont want to spend mega bucks but do want to feel protected, are the self fit ones worth having?, the garage has deadlocks on the door already but I want something more-what do you recommend-I dont really want a video link as I don't feel this is strictly neccessary-just something to scare off would be thieves

Sawn off with a bit of string tied to the trigger and then tied to the door at the other end. You would hear it and you wouldn't even have to get out of bed until the morning



On a serious note i was thinking or running a sensor off the door to the house alarm or my mate has some thing that you have to shut off with a key and makes a right racket.
