sparky Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 Hi, I have a touring caravan and I have been thinking of fitting an alarm to it, the panel would have to consume very little power as it would be powered by a 80ah caravan battery for over the winter months (approx Nov-April). Is it best to go for a wireless system as the PIRs would have there own batts and I would only have to find power for the main panel, or a hard wired system ? It would be nice to have the alarm remote controlled can anybody recomend a suitable system which isn't too pricey ? Stuart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monteey Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 Why not link it to an existing alarm via scanny transmitter Mark Hawks Ex BT Openreach Field Service Now Self employed telecom and data engineer www.mphtelecom.co.uk Also back doing sub contract work in the security industry.

breff Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 You may be better off with a car alarm with multiple ultrasonics. The opinions I express are mine and are usually correct! (Except when I'm wrong)(which I'm not) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will need to clarify how you will sustain power from the battery for what amounts to over 5000 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morph Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 Fit a car alarm with microwave sensors and battery backup. You will still need to recharge the caravan battery at some point though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norman Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 Bit sad but, here's one I made earlier. Cost would be prohibitive but it was a one off for myself, fully portable and a radio link to the main system for texting purposes. Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.
