Whoa!!!!!
Is his bark worse than his bite????
It puts the fear in me just looking at his picture!!!!

Ha ha, Don.

Looks can kill, you know! 😯
I'll now mention that SHE is soooooo sweet, hasn't got a mean bone in her body (until after dark).
Just like her owner, ha ha.

Her goal in life is to catch yet another Quail. Eats it to the last feather. Yuck!
I always know when she's nailed one 'coz there's a feather stickin' out of her lip 😕

Anyway, let's get back to finding an alarm for our friends!

There are some interesting and reasonable $ products here:

And this How Stuff Works site was interesting...always wondered how alarms worked:

Thanks Barb,I enjoyed reading up on these,only thing I don't like is having to go outside and having to turn them off at nite!

Maybe one of these 🙂 http://www.pet-dog-cat-supply-store.com/shop/index.php?page=shop/flypage&product_id=2573

Thats an wet idea!!!!LOL
Has anybody seen a motion detector light that works off batteries???

There are some really cheap battery operated units that I used on a ceramic cactus that I had in the desert. I screwed one half to a stake and used double sided tape to attach the other half to the cactus. The 2 halves are held together by magnets. If the two halves of the alarm are separated a high pitched sound is emitted.

Someone grabbed the ceramic cactus and the alarm went off. They dropped it and ran, breaking the cactus. By the time we got up and outside the culprit was long gone. Now I have a motion detection infrared video security system.

Well with the price of food and gas going up,finally hit $3.10 a gallon here in Kansas,I think crime will be on the upscale,
I'm thinking of someway to protect what I have,and to keep kids from destroying what thieves don't make off with.
I was watching a program where they hired a burgular to give the public tips on how to protect there home,and now I find out
about a thing call lock bumbing,where they can file a key to break into any door lock.
Calling the police is know good there response time is 10 minutes or longer,makes it harder for them to catch a crook.
Guy from work told me to check oput the infrared cameras they use to set up and track the on going deer in the woods for hunting purposes,that way you can catch the crook in the act!!

The price of Gas is bad in Kansas. But we pull the oil out of the ground within 50 miles of Edmonton and refine it 10 miles from my house. The price at the pumps is $1.129/ liter which works out to about $3.55 US per US gallon. A recent study has shown that Canadians are being gouged about $.20/liter ($.60/gallon US).

The Alberta resource regulating agency is being asked to approve another heavy oil upgrader to thin out the oil sands oil. I have written to the agency requesting that they refuse to approve any new oil facilities until they have approved a new gasoline refinery which would cover 'excess summer demand' and remove the oil companies last excuse.

If that doesn't work, I am going to push to force the oil companies to meet the 2022 greenhouse gas standards by 2015. It's not like they cannot afford it.

If you are looking at infrared, especially on ebay, PM me. I bought a system and have it up and running.

Allen

Allen good for you for your stand on gas prices. Seems Murphy's Law prevails nowadays.

Just like bank rates...real quick to go UP (with the flick of a switch, it seems) but tortoise-slow coming down.

The "middle class" always gets ripped off, 'coz we're the largest population group...until of course, their policies send us into poverty.

Don't get me started on "1 taxpayer, 4 levels of government" 👿

Can you post a manufacturer link for that infrared you bought? Do you recommend it?
Barb

It works okay with one problem, static reception. I have not experimented with location as much as I want to as I installed them in late fall.

Mine is a wireless 4 camera exterior system without sound.

The static seems to occur when the cameras are mounted near metal eavestrough. The 2 cameras mounted away from the house/garage have the least static. I could take the 2 worse offenders and mount them on poles and see what happens.

I'll send you a PM with the vendor and the system.

Allen

Agree that "offenders" should be mounted on poles! 😆
