Outdoor Motion Sensors With Outdoor Siren
I have had several customers ask me if there is some way to put a motion sensor outdoors and whenever the sensor trips, a siren would sound. Well we at Spy Centre Security have created that exact solution. We sell a product by the name of Voice Alert. The product is a wireless outdoor motion detection system that you can add up to six sensors to. Each motion sensor has a wireless transmitter that sends a signal back to the Receiver/Base Station when ever motion is triggered. On the Receiver / Base Station there are alarm inputs and alarm outputs on the back side of the unit that correspond with each transmitter. We were able to plug a cable in to the output of Motion Sensor #1 (This can be done on any of the 6 outputs) and ran the cable to the siren outdoor. Now when ever Motion sensor #1 detects motion it sends a signal to the Receiver / Base Station the Base station closes the contact for the output of Motion Sensor #1 which will activate the siren. The Siren we used was programmable to generate several audible messages to alert who ever triggered the Motion Sensor to leave immediately.
Now, let put this in a particle scenario.
Lets say you have a storage shed in your back yard. You might keep all you lawn care products, Pool equipment, Automotive parts and tools, or anything of value that can not be stored in the house. How do you protect them without spending an arm and a leg especially if the shed is not connected to the house nor does it have any power. The solution above is perfect because you can mount the motion sensor on the shed, the siren on the back side of the house and you can put the Receiver / Base Station in the house close to a window that faces the back yard. That way the signal from the motion sensor will reach the Receiver / Base Station also you will not have to bury any cable from the Receiver / Base Station to the siren. Making it very difficult for someone to defeat the system. You can get this entire system for around $200.00 making it a very economical solution.
For more information on this just give any of us a buzz or post in our forums.
