Description
The Police rate sound and light as the two best intruder
deterrents. Barking Dog is an innovative and yet
attractively simple product that provides both - it
barks when an intruder approaches and switches on
lights a few seconds later, just as the owner would if
he were there. It also turns lamps on at dusk and off
at dawn while the owner is away.
Conventional burglar alarm systems are very effective; but,
they do have one drawback: the intruder has already forced
the door or entered the home by the time the alarm is
triggered. What is really needed is a system that can protect
the home before the burglar breaks in - a first line of
defence.
The solution is man's best friend. No one complains about
the occasional barking of a dog from inside the house, but
it is a highly effective deterrent when someone approaches
the door, especially when lights turn on as 'the owner comes
to investigate'.
A weatherproof infrared motion detector discretely mounted
above the front door detects an approaching person and
sends a radio message to trigger the base unit.
The powerful integrated loudspeaker plays back a high
quality digital recording of a barking dog. In the next few
seconds a light comes on in the hallway and the effect is
complete - a convincing demonstration that this is one home
that should be left alone.
Additionally, at night, a light sensor built into the motion
detector automatically triggers the base unit to turn on
other lights in the home - a well proven intruder deterrent.
You can even control the lights yourself using an X10
wireless remote.
USING THE PIR MOTION DETECTOR WITH OTHER X10
PRODUCTS.
The Outdoor PIR Motion Detector can also be used with
other X10 security systems or transceiver modules to turn
lights on at dusk and when someone approaches.
