Product Information

The alarm allows a 30 second exit delay and a 5 second entry delay. The 5 second delay is slightly shorter than some other alarms, but considering that you deactivate it using a remote control, and not a time-consuming PIN, it’s a sufficient amount of time.

Dialler alarms will also call a phone number when the alarm is triggered, to let you know that something’s up. Motion detectors and PIRs are great in that they can cover a big area, including multiple doors and windows, but it’s often hard to get the sensitivity right. If they’re too sensitive, they will activate when something passes by the shed window. If they’re not sensitive enough, they will only detect intruders when they’re nearly close enough to pull the alarm off the wall. The best motion detector systems get the balance right, and will even include ‘pet-safe’ technology so that a dog or cat won’t trigger the alarm, should one get into your shed or garage. This is a system kit that includes a horn and two door/window sensors, two remote controls, and a PIR motion detector Shed and garage alarms tend to be activated and deactivated in one of two ways, depending on their design. Either, an alarm will have a keypad that requires a code, or a paired remote control.

What Is The UK’s Best Shed Alarm?

If you’re concerned about alarms being too easy for intruders to reach, this Tech Traders Wireless Motion Sensor Alarm can be positioned higher out of the way. This is because there are remote controls provided, so you don’t need to physically access the alarm to disarm it. So if you leave the alarm off, you'll be notified of the break in but the thief won't know you know! And if you leave the siren on, the thief will get a nasty fright andyou'll also be notified, wherever you currently are.

Some motion-sensor alarms will leave as long as 20 – 30 seconds after detecting motion to sound the alarm. This is useful when you’re trying to disarm the alarm after entering the shed yourself, but not necessarily the most effective approach against intruders. Some owners prefer the idea of a shed alarm with an external siren. In essence they want something that detects motion, and then triggers a loud siren. The noise from that will almost always send thieves running for the hills. These alarms are triggered by movement in whatever they're attached to. So again, they could be attached to shed doors or widows. But also the roof or walls of your shed. The siren is 120 DB which is a good volume for a shed alarm. It will certainly give the thief a fright and as long as your living area isn't too far from the shed, you should be able to hear it inside.

Like a lot of alarms in this style, its main weakness is the strength of its construction. As a plastic alarm, intruders could deactivate it by smashing the unit. For this reason, ideally this shed and garage alarm somewhere high up (but this can make it more difficult to enter the code!). For any unwanted intruders, on the others hand, this shed alarm will be a very startling and loud deterrent. Disarming the Defender Shed Alarm is done by entering a four-digit code into the keypad. You can set and choose this code yourself to make it easier to remember. Once armed, you have 5 seconds to exit the building and, on re-entry, you have 5 seconds to enter the code and disarm the door alarm. PIR motion sensor: Built in PIR motion sensor that will activate the alarm if any movement is detected...

This door alarm is easy to activate (by pressing ‘four’ on the keypad) and it will produce a loud noise of 110 dB to panic any intruders. The Defender Shed Alarm also has two modes – not only is it designed to tell you if the door is opened, but also if anyone is trying to force entry.

The normal alarm could go off with a siren while the GSM alarm stealthily alerts you to the break in. Then it wouldn't matter if the thief manages to disable the normal alarm. Other things to look out for in a shed alarm... Does the shed alarm have a low battery indicator?Because the siren is separate you can position in it away from the sensors in a hard to reach place to prevent any thief from destroying it when it goes off. It’s not just motion sensors that have this kind of problem either. Alarms that react to vibration can work really well if set up on the windows of your shed, as they will alert you if the glass is broken or tampered with. The thing is, we get some pretty strong winds here from time to time, and this can rattle those windows and set the alarm off. Motion detection - Alarm will sound 10 seconds after motion is detected if pin code is not entered.... It’s not going to set the world on fire with pioneering features and attention to detail, but it’s simple to set up and loud – what more can you ask for at under a tenner?
