CPVAN Indoor Motion Sensor Alarm with Siren, Remote Control Wireless Infrared DIY PIR Motion Detector Burglar Alarm System, 125dB Adjustable, Battery Operated, for Home/Shed/Garage/Van/Shop.

The alarm is really compact and size and can be positioned on a surface or attached to a wall or ceiling. It comes with screws or sticky pads to attach it. The unit comes with batteries too so you can have it setup in minutes. The setting up process took me less than 1 minute and was really easy.It comes with a chime or alarm to alert you of movements, you just press a button to change it. You can activate/deactivate the alarm with the little fob, this worked from outside the garage with the door shut, this is useful. You can get additional fobs if you need them and these can be paired to the device.I have set it up in my garage but this would work perfectly in a shed, caravan, or a porch to notify you of a movement. I tested it and it works perfectly. The alarm is loud, I did a test during the day and i could hear the alarm clearly from upstairs. It would be even louder in the dead of night.I am really happy with the alarm and I would recommend this as great value for money.

For the price this is a excellent little alarm, the alarm is loud enough to startle an intruder and possibly alert you or someone else to the alarm but I could put up with it long enough to take something near by. It is easy to set, and adjust the settings and to fix in place. On the practical side the alarm does stop and reset itself after 3 mins, but this was not mentioned in the instructions also when you turn it off with the open padlock sign on the keypad you have to reset it with the closed padlock it is supposed to reset to its last setting but this has not happened for me. I have a detached garage and I can just about hear it from the house but at this price point I am considering getting another, If you have a shed or similar in your garden then this would be ideal as a deterrent and for that feeling that you have at least tried to protect your property. Another use would be to set it up by a open back door perhaps, during the summer, on bleep mode to alert you to anything coming in or out ( just a thought )

It's cheap, it's reliable (works well & no false alerts) but why can't this industry produce better (even if more expensive) with today's cheap as chips technology?I'd happily spend £100 plus for decent caravan protection, but there's not much out there really...You've got the Micromark (12v wired) system that senses vibration as well as has a PIR detector (like this one), but given the cable can just be cut on breaking in and the vibration will unlikely be set off given a door or window break in, how exactly does that offer a better deterrent??This cheap unit is actually (in my opinion) a better break-in deterrent, as it's actually as loud as the Micromark one and has a battery compartment protected by a screw... That's a bit of a plus really (despite the hassle of batteries and rechargeables), as it's not just a case of an intruder ripping it off the wall snapping the wire (given it's power source is within)...He can either beat it into mutedness (I'd think this difficult), break open the battery compartment (not easy as its a tiny screw and the edges to the door are super smooth) or unscrew the fiddly screw with a micro screwdriver (which is included with this alarm)... Pretty frustrating for a thief I'd think... So on that basis this DOES actually make this possibly the best and cheapest option for an alarm for a caravan out there...But....Why can you not connect an accessory siren somewhere that connects via radio as the remote does and sounds in unison...? A great site for an accessory siren is within the fridge vented area of a caravan (for example, as it will hammer the alarm through the vents and be better heard outside)... Imagine an intruder trying to deal with a remote siren sounding somewhere hidden as well as managing this one???I'd likely scarper given that...The technology is here, I'm sure many would pay for this, so why isn't such a thing available???The Micromark wired PIR and vibration alarm is £134, but is probably easier to silence than this cheap little unit, as just forcibly ripping it from it's plainly mounted position (required to detect movement) will snap the 11v wiring, rendering it silent even more quickly..Radio command and Bluetooth are old hat... Surely they can work out how to connect a remote speaker to this?? You can pair remotes, but not other alarm units...Was this company to pair units remotely (as in the detecting unit sets off another hidden away or dedicated standalone siren) then I'd be, in even for £60 for both units.There's a market gap right now for this and it's a pity CPVAN don't seem to fancy the challenge...I'd give this 5 stars as it might be the best solution versus price point, but drop a star on the basis of a challenge, CPvan...Produce a system that can remotely connect to a paired siren and you'll have yourself a great product ..

This is the second alarm I have purchased of this type. First one was purchased for my garage and this one for my shed.The alarm is simple to install, just mount the bracket and the alarm unit easily clips into place. The bracket allows the unit to be adjusted for the correct angle to provide good PIR coverage.The unit is easy to setup and the remote in pre-paired meaning the unit can be used straight from the box. The manual is informative and comprehensive.Operation is very simple with enable and disable pushbuttons on the remote. There is no entry or exit delay so the alarm has to be armed/disarmed outside the field of view of the PIR. The remote control is small, seems to be very responsive, can be used at a distance from the alarm and even works through walls etc.Based on the first alarm I purchased the battery life is good, about 4 months of life from three AAA batteries. Batteries are also supplied.The best feature of this alarm is the noise, it is unbelievably loud and just what you need to protect a garage or shed.The build quality is good, it's well made and solid construction. I have had the first alarm for about 12 months now with no issues at all. Overall I'm very pleased with the alarm and I would recommend it.

These alarms are easy and straight forward to useNot too loud bud decent enough if your shed etc is fairly close to the houseMy only issue with these is that they always seem to stop working after a whileI am on my third unit with buying this oneThe same unfortunately can be said about the remotesSince having 3 devices i have had around half a dozen remotesSo I guess they realistically are expensive in the long run

I purchased this for £20.79 on a black Friday special promotion. On opening the box I was impressed with the quality of the alarm unit as well as the key fob. It was extremely easy to install you just put in the 3 AAA batteries that are included (You can plug it in to a cigarette lighter if desired) and I stuck it to my vans bulkhead with the self adhesive pad which gives it a really strong fixing. There is 2 modes one that just makes a noise when it detects motion like when you walk in to a shop and the alarm mode. I am impressed with the sensor as it picks me up as I open the rear and side doors of my van. One thing I was very impressed with is that it detected me in the driver cabin of my van even though it is fixed to the back of my bulkhead facing my back doors. The alarm is pretty loud but to be an added deterrent I will try to buy the optional extra speaker that you plug in to increase the volume. This probably doesn't rival a professionally fitted alarm but at the price I don't think you can go wrong. There's also a panic button on the fob that could be helpful for a confrontation. This is also suitable for other applications eg sheds.

Works very well, good and loud. I use rechargeables and they last months despite me tripping it frequently. Effective deterrents if the mains fails.

It goes off no reason! I’ve only had it for a few weeks and going to return in

Good

Bought 2 for my garage - they work as indicated. I have one pointed at my side door and the other at the main bay door, both paired to one remote. Nice and small, easy to install wherever you need them. Alarms are loud and remotes work well (and at a distance).Best things about these:- Remotes are interchangeable with each alarm- You can program multiple alarms to one remote (and multiple remotes to alarm groups). So buying 2 alarms means you can have a spare remote- Alarms can be powered via micro USB (but you must buy your own USB cables to power them). Very handy to avoid battery replacement! If you can, get an "elbow-jointed" micro USB cable as the cord can get in the way of the mount. That said, I positioned mine as needed without issues.

Sometimes, the Motion Sensor Alarm would not arm itself. At other times, the Motion Sensor Alarm would go off even when it wasn't armed.

This is a must have for me. I may buy more. It's loud enough to detour my Beagle from eating everything in sight when I remember to turn it on. I have cats that fight when they get close. They pretty much ignore it but it alerts me when they get near each other's territory. Animal people have so many uses for this alarm

So far so good. Nice and loud and pretty accurate with detection. Easy to install and comes paired with remote. I have it installed in my garage and it’s sensitive enough to arm and disarm from inside home. There seems to be a USB port on the side, but there’s no instructions on what it’s for. Would be nice if batteries could be recharged from the wall socket. So far weather is not too cold; the real test is in the winter. Overall a well-made product.
