I think it does everything you want.

How 'bout one of these....

Big dogs are looking better and better.

Thank you for the suggestions. Bought a 12 gauge pump action shotgun Sunday. Also have a 22 rifle. Hope to never use either, but will if I have to! Watchdog will be the last resort. The website for Lasersheild did not pan out. Looks like the company may be out of service. Still having a hard time finding exactly what we want. Would love to have wireless outdoor motion detectors, that can chime inside or blast their eardrums outside, and would like to be able to choose which alarm is activated. For example, chime only when we're home so that we know they're here.. and sound outdoor alarm when we're gone, to hopefully deter them at that point. Does anyone know of anything like it?

Hi,
If you're looking for a home security system comparison you should check out www.usalarmcompanies.info . They give you a free complete comparison of the various home alarm system providers in the US and you can choose one based on the size of your home, your requirements, budget etc.

We've been using the wireless motion system that I mentioned in your original post for about 2 years now without any problems. This system is simple to install because it is wireless. It will sound an alarm in the house and you can even hear what is going on at the sensor that was triggered. You can also talk to the sensor that was triggered so this will serve double duty as an intercom system between the pool and house also. It can also be setup to sound an alarm outside if desired.

We are using 4 of these sensors: one at the entrance to the driveway about 300 feet from the house, and 3 around the pool that are about 200 feet from the house. The ones around the pool provide a level of safety and security around the pool and surrounding areas. Each sensor has its own tone so you can tell which sensor was triggered and like I said earlier, you can listen to the sensor that was triggered. I just wish they could be programmed to ignore neighborhood dogs, deer and squirrels as most of our alarms are false alarms. Come to think of it.....maybe the neighborhood dogs on the loose are the reason we have not had any problems with security! The dogs and the fact that we all are avid sportsman also helps if you know what I mean.

Hope this helps!

trthought: thank you for the information again. I looked into Smarthome's Reporter with voice and even called them this week to talk about exactly what we wanted. Maybe I need to call back and get another rep. The best plan he came up with, was hard-wiring a siren from the backyard to the inside receiver(which we probably could have done)but to actually use this siren, when we're gone, we would have to "wire" it each time to the receiver, not just simply push a button or plug it in. The other issue was even if we could live with that process, how would the siren turn off so that the neighbors wouldn't hear it for days while we're gone. He came up with another product that was some type of electrical board with a timer and shutoff valve on it that we would also have to wire up. At that point, it started getting too complicated and would require an electician. Maybe you know a better way, with this system, to have an external alarm and internal chime that can be used together, or separately. The system is exactly what I wanted..something wireless and simple, and one that we could add on to if we saw the need...however, I cant seem to figure out the outside alarm part of it, and the issue of turning it on and off. PS...maybe you could send a few of your neighborhood dogs my way; Perhaps the new 12 gauge is all I really need! Any more help you can offer is greatly appreciated.

You are correct. The outside siren control when away from the house is a challenge. A simple switch between the indoor unit and the outside siren would make enabling the outside siren easy when leaving the house, but then turning it off would be a problem which is where the off timer would come into play. I'm using the onboard sensor relay to manually turn on an outside siren from inside the house by pressing a button on the indoor unit. Automating the outside siren while away would certainly be more complex as you have learned.

However, since the system is wireless, we leave the indoor unit with a neighbor so they can monitor our outdoor sensors when we leave our house for vacation. Not an elegant solution by any means, but it make us feel more comfortable when away from the house/pool for extended periods of time.

For an outdoor siren and monitoring while you are away, I think the only option is to link a wireless motion detector to your existing security system. You mentioned a home security system in your previous post and hopefully it has the flexibility to accept a wireless motion detector than can be integrated into your existing system for monitoring while you are away.

We have a house security system with monitoring service that calls the police and us if triggered while we are away. One of our indoor motion sensors is wireless due to problems running the wire during install, so I know this is possible. We thought about adding an outside motion sensor but eventually decided against it. We didn't want the police coming to the house and calling us whenever a squirrel/deer/dog triggered one of the outdoor sensors, which seems to happen almost daily while we are home and probably countless times while we are away!

That was our thought process and hope some of this helps!
