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.

Why not link it to an existing alarm via scanny transmitter

You may be better off with a car alarm with multiple ultrasonics.

You will need to clarify how you will sustain power from the battery for what amounts to over 5000 hours.

Fit a car alarm with microwave sensors and battery backup.

You will still need to recharge the caravan battery at some point though.

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.

No Norm, thats not sad at all.

thats one modified scanny radio panic button

looks good tho
