DIY Perimeter Alarm To Protect Your Home & Camp
Nothing is more important than the safety of your home & camp. Setting up a simple perimeter alarm can help give you the peace of mind you need and provide an extra layer of protection.
A perimeter alarm system consists of an alarm and motion sensors that are placed around the outside of the area, such as along fences, in bushes, or other locations. This creates a virtual perimeter of security that will sound an alarm if any intruders attempt to enter. With DIY systems, you have total control over making sure your system is just right for your needs.
Instructions
- Identify a location for your first motion detector. Make sure it is placed in a location where it is not blocked by any large trees or bushes.
- Install the motion detector in the chosen location. Make sure it is firmly attached to the surface, with no potential for it to get knocked off or tampered with.
- Connect the motion detector to the alarm system. Depending on your particular type of system, this might involve hardwiring or wireless connections.
- Test the motion detector to make sure it is working correctly. Make sure to cover the entire area you wish to be protected, including outside the fence.
- Continue installing the motion detectors in appropriate locations until you have completed the perimeter. Make sure the detectors are connected to the alarm system and everything is tested to make sure it is working correctly.
- Set the alarm system to activate when motion is detected. This will usually involve setting the alarm to turn on and off at certain times of the day or night.
By following these steps, you can create a simple and effective perimeter alarm system to protect your home & camp from intruders. This can be a great addition to any security system, providing extra protection no matter where you are.
