Barking Dog Alarm Benefits
Trespassers don't like barking dog alarms. Neither does anyone with malicious intent. In fact, it's probably safe to say they don't like dogs at all, especially not in the home they're going to invade.
Most burglaries and home intrusions occur under the cover of darkness, although many homes are burglarized during the day. Sometimes a neighborhood is so busy and loud that the noise of someone breaking into a home is not even heard. If you don't have a dog to scare off intruders, you might consider another option that is just as effective.
The Barking Dog Alarm might even be better than a real dog, because it has a more ferocious sound than many smaller breeds that home owners may have. If an intruder moves into the range of the alarm, which is stationed in the home and can detect outside activity, the remote dog sounds like it will come through the wall in attack mode.
This alone should chase off anyone foolish enough to enter your yard . They couldn't know that the viscious barking coming from inside is not from a living, breathing flesh and blood dog because the barking level builds as the intruder gets closer. Today's technology is more realistic than in the old days when a barking dog alarm was obviously not the real thing.
The electronic radar-wave sense control is what allows the alarm to “see” through just about any type of building material from wood to cement. Any movement detected within the 100 degree triangle of guarded area will trip the sensor and let loose the angry bark of your low maintenance guard dog.
Everything is adjustable from the volume to the distance of the radar sensitivity and can also be used as a chime or alarm instead of a barking dog. A remote control comes with the unit for easy set-up every night before you retire. You can also set off a panic alarm with the remote if that were necessary.
While out of town for an extended period or just for the day or night, the 9″ tall unit plugs into the wall so you won't have to be concerned about batteries dying. However, if you want the unit to continue working in case you lose electricity, you will have to buy the 8 AA batteries it requires for this.
The only real negative aspect of this Barking Dog Alarm system is that the sensor does need to be facing the area you want motion detected from. It can't detect motion coming from the sides or rear of the alarm. One way to solve that problem, though, is to add one additional unit to this system, gaining a more expansive range of protection.
So, after considering the benefits, the barking dog alarm is a very affordable substitute for a live dog. You have the advantage of having your house protected without coming up with money for the food, vet care, stuffed animals, beds, etc. that you might spend on a real dog. However, even if you have a warmer live version of the barking alarm, you might feel more at ease knowing your house is guarded by a vicious sounding dog who will scare off trespassers while you're on vacation and this just might be what would work for you.
