CPVAN Indoor Motion Sensor Alarm with Siren, Remote Control Wireless Infrared DIY PIR Motion Detector Burglar Alarm System, 125dB Adjustable, Battery Operated, for Home/Shed/Garage/Van/Shop.

The alarm is really compact and size and can be positioned on a surface or attached to a wall or ceiling. It comes with screws or sticky pads to attach it. The unit comes with batteries too so you can have it setup in minutes. The setting up process took me less than 1 minute and was really easy. It comes with a chime or alarm to alert you of movements, you just press a button to change it. You can activate/deactivate the alarm with the little fob, this worked from outside the garage with the door shut, this is useful. You can get additional fobs if you need them and these can be paired to the device. I have set it up in my garage but this would work perfectly in a shed, caravan, or a porch to notify you of a movement. I tested it and it works perfectly. The alarm is loud, I did a test during the day and i could hear the alarm clearly from upstairs. It would be even louder in the dead of night. I am really happy with the alarm and I would recommend this as great value for money.

For the price this is a excellent little alarm, the alarm is loud enough to startle an intruder and possibly alert you or someone else to the alarm but I could put up with it long enough to take something near by. It is easy to set, and adjust the settings and to fix in place. On the practical side the alarm does stop and reset itself after 3 mins, but this was not mentioned in the instructions also when you turn it off with the open padlock sign on the keypad you have to reset it with the closed padlock it is supposed to reset to its last setting but this has not happened for me. I have a detached garage and I can just about hear it from the house but at this price point I am considering getting another, If you have a shed or similar in your garden then this would be ideal as a deterrent and for that feeling that you have at least tried to protect your property. Another use would be to set it up by a open back door perhaps, during the summer, on bleep mode to alert you to anything coming in or out ( just a thought )

Remarkably effective for the price. Small and unobtrusive, and yet works effectively and packs quite a noise when it goes off. The remote is wireless so works through doors and walls. And CP Van tell me I can operate it off the mains via an adaptor and micro USB cord, so no need to worry about batteries going flat (I have not tried this yet). Only four stars because there is no entry delay - if you forget to unset it then it goes off immediately you walk into the zone. Also, the remote is wrongly marked. The button marked to unset it is actually the one to change for it chiming to full siren. And vice versa! Plus there is a SOS button which is unnecessary on a simple alarm - and it is at the top and if you hit it accidentally the siren goes off.

I purchased this for £20.79 on a black Friday special promotion. On opening the box I was impressed with the quality of the alarm unit as well as the key fob. It was extremely easy to install you just put in the 3 AAA batteries that are included (You can plug it in to a cigarette lighter if desired) and I stuck it to my vans bulkhead with the self adhesive pad which gives it a really strong fixing. There is 2 modes one that just makes a noise when it detects motion like when you walk in to a shop and the alarm mode. I am impressed with the sensor as it picks me up as I open the rear and side doors of my van. One thing I was very impressed with is that it detected me in the driver cabin of my van even though it is fixed to the back of my bulkhead facing my back doors. The alarm is pretty loud but to be an added deterrent I will try to buy the optional extra speaker that you plug in to increase the volume. This probably doesn't rival a professionally fitted alarm but at the price I don't think you can go wrong. There's also a panic button on the fob that could be helpful for a confrontation. This is also suitable for other applications eg sheds.

Works very well, good and loud. I use rechargeables and they last months despite me tripping it frequently. Effective deterrents if the mains fails.

These alarms are easy and straight forward to use Not too loud bud decent enough if your shed etc is fairly close to the house My only issue with these is that they always seem to stop working after a while I am on my third unit with buying this one The same unfortunately can be said about the remotes Since having 3 devices i have had around half a dozen remotes So I guess they realistically are expensive in the long run

There's no set up. Put the supplied batteries in, switch the unit on, position the unit, leave the area and press the arm button on the remote. That's it, it's set. The remote is already paired with the unit. There's no delay on the sensor. So the alarm sounds immediately it senses someone. And it's quite a loud alarm for a small unit. To unset the alarm, press the disarm button on the remote. On unsetting the alarm you hear one beep and on setting you hear two beeps. I positioned mine at the back of the shed about 2 metres from the door and you can clearly hear the beeps when the doors closed. I particularly like this unit as the it doesn't need batteries. Plug in a phone charger with a usb cable and it works fine. Don't use the batteries when running off the mains. There's options for chime and a panic button. And the direction is adjustable. But from me, it's an instant alarm with no batteries - great.

It goes off no reason! I’ve only had it for a few weeks and going to return in

Good

Bought 2 for my garage - they work as indicated. I have one pointed at my side door and the other at the main bay door, both paired to one remote. Nice and small, easy to install wherever you need them. Alarms are loud and remotes work well (and at a distance). Best things about these: - Remotes are interchangeable with each alarm - You can program multiple alarms to one remote (and multiple remotes to alarm groups). So buying 2 alarms means you can have a spare remote - Alarms can be powered via micro USB (but you must buy your own USB cables to power them). Very handy to avoid battery replacement! If you can, get an "elbow-jointed" micro USB cable as the cord can get in the way of the mount. That said, I positioned mine as needed without issues.

Sometimes, the Motion Sensor Alarm would not arm itself. At other times, the Motion Sensor Alarm would go off even when it wasn't armed.

I'm happy. Works great. Very loud

So far so good. Nice and loud and pretty accurate with detection. Easy to install and comes paired with remote. I have it installed in my garage and it’s sensitive enough to arm and disarm from inside home. There seems to be a USB port on the side, but there’s no instructions on what it’s for. Would be nice if batteries could be recharged from the wall socket. So far weather is not too cold; the real test is in the winter. Overall a well-made product.
