Thoughts on my commercial AC (copper) alarm idea

probably maybe it would definitely score you a ton of false alarm fines as well.

I heard mike vick's got some dogs for sale , cheap.

If you use a detector that's designed for outdoor use it should work. Paradox makes a DG-85 outdoor motion detector that I've used on my own jobs with decent results. If it's pointed at a fairly stable (not moving) background) it won't false.

Bells are not used much any more. Mount a loud siren high enough on the building that it can't be reached. Use an inexpensive alarm system like the Napco P816 and set it to ring for no more than

Installing these systems is pretty simple, especially with only one "zone" (sensor circuit).

Perhaps a call to some local alarm companies might find one that would donate some used gear to help you out. There are many folks in the industry that would like to help.

Please note that this person is not an installer and has no license to do so. Therefore he can't have use any motion detector on his "own jobs"

His only purpose for being in this group is to sell you equipment and he'll tell you anything that would entice you to do that.

As a result of his constant lying about what he doesn't know anything about, he has a horrendous record with his state Better Business Bureau.

See it here:

Sensor has a auto shutoff - I'm going to use the (30 sec setting) In other words while someone or something is in the retricted area the lights and siren will blast for 30 sec, reset and scan again. IF still there Blast again.

Ordiance (sp) in this City (Kansas City, Mo) says can't have external siren without auto shutoff. Otherwise we're OK and won't get a ticket.

should work then. the only problem is there is no limit to the 30 sec timer...so it would still be possible to have 100 alarms a day

A motion light and an ELK timer circuit would a lot simpler and cheaper. all the OP wanted was to run the siren when the light went off. OR simpler still just use the test circuit on the light itself as the timer. most will give the 30 seconds that the OP wanted.

That being said, after a week of the thing going off at all hours the neighbors will quit watching and start grumbling.

the neighbors will love that.

Reminds me of a run away I had about 25 years ago on an Ademco 1023 in a pharmacy. A lady jumped the curb into the wall, and the adjacent window shattered but didn't break. The foil would make and open, over and over, so the alarm wouldn't silence. The cop gave me his ear protectors to get near the siren speaker to shut it down. It had a 714 Blaster, one of the loudest drivers I ever used, especially when teamed up with a MPI 30. I remember it was so loud that I could feel the sound pressure in my voice box and it made tears come to my eyes.

That's like the results you get when you cross a jackass with a skunk. Most of the time you just get a foul smelling donkey. But every so often you get a piece of ass that'll bring tears to your eyes.
