Meece 1,957 Posted January 24, 2021 Report Share Posted January 24, 2021 It's A sod that you have to do anthing to protect your stuff. The trouble with any sort of alarm is firstly is anyone going to take any notice of it. Often car alarms go off but people don't take any notice of it. House alarms, ect, ect. We have a cctv system and one morning I opened the curtains to see one of the fence posts in the middle of the lawn.?.?. On going through the coverage I saw a car mount the curb and plough into the fence at about 6 o'clock. We were in the house having dinner.! We didn't hear a thing. If someone breaks into your shed and sets this trip off then what you going to do. They WILL BE carrying a hammer to break off the next padlock that you put on it.

I'll be out there with the lamp and baseball bat. Unless they are after something particularly then most are just opportunists so lighting up the yard with the lamp should be enough. I'm just happier knowing I've got a heads up if someone is mooching about. If this turns out to be to cheap and unreliable I'll get something similar but better quality Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Problem is everytime I open the workshop I forget and set it off At the minute I'm using cut down 12G cartridges and it's a faff setting it up everytime. I should buy some proper black powder blanks for it really as the cut down cartridges aren't really very loud once you cut and release the pressure in em. Surely the sensors will pick up any wildlife movement, you be running out in middle night bollock naked with a base ball bat chasing shadows lol 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Something that uses perimiter beams, usually wireless, long range detection, alerts to your mobile giving you live feed. Something I looked into long time ago when I had a dog nicked but never bothered with it in the end. Sorry best I got lol 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
