Product Information

I like these simple door and window shed alarms because there's almost zero chance of false alarms. If the alarm goes off it's because someone has come through your door or window!

Unfortunately the "pet friendly" sensors don't come as part of a kit. So you'll need to either buy a starter kit and then add the pet sensors. Or buy the siren, sensors and remote control separately. If the alarm needs to be deactivated with a keycode, it will need to be placed somewhere that you can reach the keypad. However, if it can be deactivated with a remote control, then the alarm can be placed higher out of the way. This door alarm is easy to activate (by pressing ‘four’ on the keypad) and it will produce a loud noise of 110 dB to panic any intruders. The Defender Shed Alarm also has two modes – not only is it designed to tell you if the door is opened, but also if anyone is trying to force entry. This shed alarm produces a loud siren of 105 dB, although with the shed doors closed it can be more difficult to hear from inside the house. However, it’s certainly loud enough to act as a deterrent and should spook any potential intruders.I mentioned motion sensors being triggered by animals in the section above this one, as I have been through the false alarms caused by them. At first, I thought it was because my alarm was too sensitive, so I bought a new one that had more control over the sensitivity and this helped to lower the number of times I jumped out of bed to defend my lawnmower. The alarm unit has a small solar panel attached to it which extends the battery life by around 18 months. If you have a particular door or window that you would like to add another level of protection to, this Defender Wireless Shed Alarmemits a siren when the entryway is opened. Motion detectors, sometimes called Passive Infrared Sensors (or PIRs), detect the changes in infrared energy that occur when a warm body passes within range of the sensor.

The main benefit of having an alarm with a code is that several people can have the ability to disarm the alarm. This means that different family members can know how to disarm and re-arm the alarm, without all needing separate keys. In one studyfrom the University of Carolina, over 60% of convicted burglars said they would look for an alarm before robbing a house and if they found one they'd move on to another target. Anecdotally, I have also heard stories of bike thieves fleeing when a garage or shed alarm has been triggered.I also sealed off my shed properly, so that it was very difficult for any scurrying little rodents or other unwanted members of the animal kingdom to get in there, and as I said there was an improvement, but every now and then the alarm would still trip. The great thing about modern alarm systems is that a lot of them are modular. So you can start off with the basics for a really cheap price. And then if you need to you can extra bits... 1. Best Budget Shed Alarm: Tiiwee A1 Starter Kit Let me be clear, there is only one siren that comes with this kit, although the modular nature of this system means you can buy and add more if needed. You do, however, get multiple ways to trigger that siren which I’ll talk about now. Motion detection - Alarm will sound 10 seconds after motion is detected if pin code is not entered....

You can set your own PIN code Only someone with the remote control can deactivate the alarm. Some alarms come with two remote controls, whilst others only provide one. Some shed alarms are, I suppose, what you would think of as a more traditional alarm, and will make a loud noise to let you know that there’s a problem. Although these can be annoying for you and neighbours if you get a faulty one that triggers over nothing all the time, the noise can help to startle burglars and make them flee before they grab anything valuable.

I couldn't find any academic studies that concentrate on shedor garagealarms specifically, but I think the principal should be the same.Some motion-sensor alarms will leave as long as 20 – 30 seconds after detecting motion to sound the alarm. This is useful when you’re trying to disarm the alarm after entering the shed yourself, but not necessarily the most effective approach against intruders. Phone alerts are great if you're on holiday or the shed or garage is some distance from your living and sleeping area.
