Seems to be quite a few incidents lately.
Just wanted to share incase someone else was interested in picking up a motion detector.
I park in a "secured" parking lot in my condo. Despite having a gate, there are numerous ways for people to get into the parking lot. Over the past 2 years, I've had people attempt to break into my car and recently my bike stolen from my storage locker.
I have a compustar alarm but that doesn't really help if someone is snooping around my parking spot or trying to break into my storage locker. I thought about getting a video security system but the best that can do is get footage of someone taking your stuff.
I considered getting a motion detector after my bike was stolen since when that happened, I was at home, sleeping. I installed this system with a bunch of sensors around my storage locker and parking spots and the alarm will trigger if someone is walking around my parking spots. You can position and adjust the sensors such that you pretty much have to be right in front of my storage locker door or car door in order to trigger the sensor.
I live on the top (3rd) floor and was impressed that I could still receive a signal from my bedroom. The device claims to have reception up to 800m from receiver to sensor. I do get the occasional false alarm from the guy parking next to me, but you can tell which sensor was triggered and decide if it's a legit false alarm based on the time of the day.
The reviews on Amazon were pretty positive and I think I paid like $75 for the basic kit and $25 for each sensor.
