Outdoor Perimeter Home Security, Simple and Inexpensive

[jw3787]

hi, i have like 6 cats all walking around outside sometimes at night, will they set it off every time?

[Repobrain]

@jw3787 You can change the sensitivity, angle them slightly different .... But I can tell you on mine it will pick up cats... However I have the beam set wide and very sensitive.

won't it go off everytime my newspaper is delivered at 5am?

[Repobrain]

@SuperEye2eye -----The sensors can be adjusted to sensitivity and aimed so that things only go off when they entered the driveway. As for newspaper being thrown in the driveway I've never seen that trip the sensor. Partly because the sensor uses both heat and motion detection. The best sensors are ones that say I detect movement but detect no heat... Therefore whatever's moving is dead and not a threat.

Wonderful dogs, cats, raccoons, skunks, daughter coming home at 1 am curfew. And then what you know some thing is in the yard. Call the cop get out the shotgun and be stress out and when daughter open the door boom.

samten10a-- Interesting how you linked dogs and daughter in the same sentence. And you let a daughter stay out till 1 AM.... man she gotten laid by then... what's the point of the curfew. Anyway you can adjust the sensors to not be tripped by small animals. These sensors can even be used inside with pets. As for shooting someone coming through the front door most wild animals do not carry keys or break down the door . You seem paranoid about your inability to discern friend from foe..

Pre announcement....? we have 2 of these units, in mobile form, capable of disabling, and possibly killing intruders.. they are called DOGS!

What will be your total cost for dog food, vet bills, licensing, dog's equipment (bedding, dog-doors etc), replacement of old dogs every 5-8 years, possible legal fees (biting) & etc. etc??

I did a calculation for a $500 wireless security system (I did a DIY install) w/ dialer, remote controls, X-10 lights, door&window sensors, glass-break sensors, IR etc. Full coverage.

Adding in the cost of batteries, over 10 years, the total cost will be around $70 a year.

Longer than 10 years=Cheaper

looks good, but can you hook it up to some sirens or lights or summthin? coz otherwise the burgler might not even no he's been noticed, and still try to get in, also if ur asleep n the box is downstairs u might not know?

[Repobrain]

Yes it has connectors for external alarms if you want to use them. I prefer a more stealthy mode so it tells me and then I can identify is this a deer or burglar. The interesting thing is I have seen animals I didn't even know would come near the house like a red fox and raccoons. Having one indicator box would make it difficult if you're sleeping. I have more than one so it sends a signal to multiple boxes. It's extremely simple but efficient.

[Repobrain]

It's you who seems paranoid..... you're worried about a company putting its name on a sensor.... you better get outside in scrape that FORD logo off your car. Your thought of smashing up the sensors and then coming back the next week is pretty illogical. Disturbing them in any way will trip them and warn the person inside the house. The moment they went to the second sensor I'm sure the homeowner would meet them... let's say with encouragement not to do that again.

THis is stupid. WHat if a bird just flies

[Repobrain]

Actually the alarm will not go off unless it detects something in motion that is over 30lbs and I have never seen a 30 pound bird that could fly. The sensor requires both heat and motion to trip at the same time to prevent a false alarm this way items like trees swaying don't typically trip the sensor. The transmitters also have a sensitivity dial to adjust for each area allowing even more fine tuning. The sensors work quite well and typically only detect what you want them to.
