fitted one in a workshop just last week.

A new neighbour has had his van broke into and tools stolen 4 times within a month. He has now installed his own home brew trip wire, which will set off several blank shotgun cartridges.

While I have suggested van vaults, park tight to Walls have a thatcham alarm installed and decent locks (i won't touch vehicle alarms), and i have warned him he could face prosecution if any intruder or passer by is injured, or hearing impaired by the bangs, he don't seem to care all that much.

Part if me is scared shatless, another part just can't wait to see if they do him again .

Don't know if I'd fit an MB in a confined space, any innocent person setting it off could suffer real stress or injury from an accident caused by the sudden very loud noise, Iirc 145 db?

Public halls are limited to 90 db for music, I'd worry about possible consequences.

Sound bombs are very effective for this need, don't rely on mains and carry less chance of injury in this litigation laden ambulance chasing society, we all now live in.

feck it stick i ducted smoke screen in as well.

for a few hundred quid you have made a enclosure with a roller shutter & pin locks for the fruit machine (s) to live in,

a few yrs on a dualcom is likley to be cheaper than buying a gsm speech dialer,

why is it that those how's need is greatest happen to purchase unsuitable stuff rather than the real deal,

QFA

Is it close to any houses? would get him to use Fobs. I'd say codes were a security risk. you can tell people you code. I've installed a blasted in a workshop. the owner can hear it go off over a mile away. could be a problem if people live near by.

down side = pencil, or knock mains off before entry etc...

Hate them but if we have to they are linked out on enginners programme entry.

Merseyside (Liverpool) Police are still 10 minuite bell delay. IMO good policy in certain criteria.
