Van Security Alarm- Cheap Alternative
Permalink
Some time back I posted an article on a cheap alarm system I was putting together after I my annex was burgled while watching TV inside the van .
I have just noted that the major component parts from Dick Smiths have come down in price which may be of interest to the DIY GN's out there .
In addition I also hooked up a blue flashing light to mine to mount out in clear view so my fellow campers knew which van was under attack.
Back when I did mine I put it through the test for flase alarms and loudness and couldn't fail it worked just like the $600 models
