onesea Posted January 29, 2017 Posted January 29, 2017 With all this talk of bike security and theft I was looking into a garage alarm... Well a shed alarm my garage is in a remote block to the house fairly well overlooked so I am not to concerned... I have looked before but the distance to the house is on the limiet for a remote alarm driveway alarm:http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Driveway-Patrol-Alert-Sensor-wireless-weatherproof-Security-Alarm-system-Deluxe-/181955746349?hash=item2a5d685a2d:g:AsIAAOSwAKxWZz7OI also worry about false alarms form the PIRThen I found these:http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/WIRELESS-VIBRATION-SENSOR-REMOTE-CONTROL-BURGLAR-ALARM-SHED-HOME-GARAGE-CARAVAN/131938870304?_trksid=p2047675.c100010.m2109&_trkparms=aid%3D2220072%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20140221143405%26meid%3D68978b8612f64942a58212e10e43de72%26pid%3D100010%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D6%26mehot%3Dpp%26sd%3D131201714327Although its a local alarm not remote it could be a good security measure...Then I thought of putting one on the bikes themselves as well as on the garage door. It could be useful for out and about to, put it under your seat in a bit of fairing and you have a bike alarm. Its not going to be perfect but may well startle the theifs enough, its not going to stop some but thats the way it goes... Quote
Liveware Problem Posted January 29, 2017 Posted January 29, 2017 Interesting, I'd be a bit worried about the second one attached to a bike, wouldn't it easily get waterlogged?Probably worth a shot at that price though. Quote
painkiller Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 I had one like it in the shed, it kept going on and off randomly or so it appeared. Turns out my tv remote also switched it on and off through the walls. If your going to use one (or more) I suggest putting more than one in a overlapping field of view, they are very easy to disable especially if the robber comes in at an angle and destroy it. Quote

Majority of TV remotes use Infrared (line of sight) so not likely to interfere through a wall!put your had over the front and see that it blocks the signal... Quote
painkiller Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 Dont ask me why it did or how, it just did through the kitchen and then through to the shed. Quote
