I got a harbor Freight #69590 driveway alarm and am very pleased with what it can do. You put the transmitter in a location to guard your stuff. One user even put one inside his car. The thing will transmit a signal inside to your house,and it can be set to two noise levels. It will alarm for a few seconds,and then alarm again with additional movement of the bad guy. The beam it shoots is about 25' or so and it dies off from there. The further it gets from the transmitter,the more the target has to be in the center of the beam. At 14 bucks on sale,pretty easy to deal with
There are limitations. probably the best way to use the thing is to put it up high and hide by camo or making it look like something else.I am not gonna advertise how to defeat it.
Best used when you are home and want to catch the guy in the act, or whatever. That groundhog that is digging in the garden? You know when he comes out of his den.One guy used it to alert him when feral hogs came to dig up the back yard at 2 AM. After shooting a few,the rest never came back. Kids sneaking out of or in to the house? They will think you have eyes in the back of your head.
If you can think of more ways to use it,I am all ears
For a true alarm that makes noise to scare the person away,just get a 15$ motion detector floodlight . Wire a 10" fire bell [$30]to one of the outlets and make the potential thief go away. You can set sensitivity and alarm duration to suit your taste.
