Shed/garage alarm

[bigdom86]

Hi all

Have a garage which isn't attached to mains and was thinking of sticking one of those portable alarms in, few friends have used the aldi one with success but seems very cheap. Any other recommendations

I use a remote doorbell
Movement is detected and it activates a sounder in the house can be set low or high
I have found them very effective
20-30 quid on eBay
Some times called driveway proximity sensors you can have more than one sensor linked to the sounder

The reviews on that Aldi alarm are, alarming.

I spent less than 10 quid on a battery one and wired it to a 5v solar panel. Its been nearly 3 years now with no problems.

What I'd like to know is what's the success rate of audible shed/garage alarms in defeating theft attempts, and if they work then what does the volume level need to be? It would be good to see a Rogerborg style database of results as to when and where they are effective?

I personally still err on the side of silent baby alarms/monitoring, and being woken up quietly and being prepared to risk everything to run outside with a collection of stored weapons under the bed just for this purpose. But again a compiled database of how often this method works in preventing a theft would be nice reading to see.

stinkwheel Well I just had my hands up a pigs fanny. Which makes your concerns pale into insignificance.

on that Tiwee system do I need to buy the PIR motion sensor unit to make it work in the garage situation? I'm trying to get my head around how the door/window sensor would work, my plan is to just stick the motion sensor in there on a shelf pointing towards the door and I can just deactivate/activate from the remote when I come and go

[ADSrox0r]

For the Tiwee I just use the door sensor, the door is the only way into my workshop (security windows) so they have to rip the doors off (and I mean rip them off, with machinery)

But if your scenario dictates the baddies can come through without tripping a door switch then yes, you'd need to add the PIR unit.

Silent alarms are good if you are always available to respond and you want to catch the bad guy. What we really want is deterrence, so they don’t break in in the first place or, if they do, they run off without nicking anything. As most thefts are opportunist, decent visible locks and lights are best, with loud alarms as back-up if they get in, preferably with CCTV to get pictures. If they really really want what you’ve got, nothing will stop them.

Alarms only work if they cause someone to come runing waving nailboards, spears or attatched weaponary. If you're a light sleeper a doorbell chime might work if it doesn't false alarm.

I recomend CCTV you can see where you sleep (or by button push, phone flail) to go with an alarm so you know wheter it's weather/4 legged wildlife/other false alarm or thieving two legged wildlings. And an arsenal of microphone stands, 3ft breaker bars, boarding pikes, longarms with bayonets, golf bats, cricket sticks, hockey racquets or other such weapons of opportunity should the startled wildlings attempt to charge you.

Do not sneak attack the thieving wildlings. That's probably murder or attempts thereof.

Smoke generator/grenade combined with a strobe light makes for a complete setup. Bonus points for seizures.

Get one of these. Had one in my garage for over a year, brilliant bit of kit and if anyone were to get in at night, it chimes off right next to my bed.

Buy a large mean dog and chain it up in the shed at night or when you are out.

[tittymcarsefa...]

Self defence law basically says You can use reasonable defence to defend yourself and to prevent crime, so you can hit them for as long as you believe they are threat to yourself and or property but only with spur of the moment weapons. (if you have a legal shotgun to hand that can be spur of the moment too).

If they run away and you chase them down or they are knocked out and you keep hitting them it is no longer self defence.

Level of perceived danger and what is believed to be reasonable self defence at the time is determined by the victim not the intruder.

your defence does not have to reflect the actual danger faced just the danger you believe you faced.
