Materials

• Motion sensor lights – these lights will illuminate when triggered, warning any intruders
• Vibration sensors – detect vibrations from objects such as animals or vehicles moving in your area
• Wireless alarm – will sound when triggered
• Power supply – either primary wired or wireless powered with batteries, solar panels, etc
• Control unit – This will control the system and alert you when it is triggered.

Installation

Installation of your perimeter alarm is fairly straightforward. Start by installing your vibration sensors in the surrounding area. When you do, make sure they are spaced appropriately, as to not miss any movements. You may want to consider placing the sensors around your property line. Once your sensors are installed, it’s time to connect your wireless alarm, power it up, and position it in a convenient area.

Next, install your motion sensor lights. Place these lights in areas that you want to protect. You can place them on walls, near entrances, or around the perimeter. When triggered, the lights will come on and alert you of any movement or disturbances.

Now that you have your sensors and alarm set up, it’s time to connect and program your control unit. This will control and monitor all of your sensors and will alert you when any of them are triggered. Once the system is set up, all you have to do is arm the alarm, sit back, and enjoy your peace of mind.
