My pleasure Thanks to my friendly local security expert, Mr Baychimp -ha! Two of us, sharing my reading glasses, trying to read the instructions! - I now have 2 alarms fitted in the Pop garage. Following the link posted here recently, I bought 2 motion sensor alarm units. Both are battery powered & have built in 130 decibel sirens. This one, (the white box mounted to the wall pillar), sounds it's siren continously & also sends a recorded message to my phone, telling me the garage is being broken into. It's armed & disarmed with a remote control keyfob, or I can switch the siren off from my phone if I'm elsewhere. |

The other one, (the black box mounted next to the clock), activates it's siren for 30 seconds then re-sets itself. It also takes a short video clip, which can be downloaded to my computer. It has an infrared lens so can film in the dark. Ain't technology wonderful! Of course, with my luck, thieves will break in & steal the alarms |

Did it set alright,did you manage to get out and close the door in time,did you get the other one on the wall. Or have you taken it home to see if you can access the videos.

Both alarms working fine. I can set & deactivate the white one with the remote control fob from outside with the door shut, but both give you 30 seconds to leave the garage after you've switched them on, which is loads of time.
I've moved the white one twice, trying to find the best position for it. Too near the door & when the door's open it blocks the motion sensor. Too far away & you can get too far into the garage before it picks up the movement. Sorted now.
Yeah, I took the video one home, but can't figure out how to view the footage. My new laptop's on Windows 10 which baffles me anyway, but I couldn't find a media player app. Next time you're about Bob, maybe you can try it on yours?
Got soaked -yet again -at work today, so no garaging-again.

This evening's faffing about produced this. Impressed huh? No, neither am I, but every little helps I s'pose. Cleaned up the bottom corner of the cab & sprayed it in textured black paint, (pick-up bed liner spray from Halfords). This side of the chassis needs a second coat of paint, then I need to mask up & touch in various areas of black & green. Most of it's hidden, but can be seen from underneath. I don't want the MOT man thinking I've bodged it. Tediously slow progress.

My new laptop's on Windows 10 which baffles me anyway, but I couldn't find a media player app.
I'm just about coming to terms with my Win10 laptop which I bought in March. And now the charger has failed so I can't use the damn thing! But what I was going to say - I hate the fact that you can't find what programs you're using to do stuff, but I've just learned that it's best to use the search box at bottom left - try searching for 'media player' or even just 'media'. |
