So the burglar has a minute to? close the window behind him? Doesn’t sound like a very secure arrangement. Why not require a code to deactivate?
He said a small alarm goes off immediately in the bedroom to alert to the breach and give time to prepare, and then the main alarm goes off after? a minute.
As I state? in the video, it is a simple prototype and needs to be improved upon. I’ve thought of all of these issues before.
Thank you for commenting.
the false alarm function could be really? useful…just like the real thing.
well sure the burglar could close the window in under 1 minute but? like he said…its a simple protoype
( and a nice 1 if u ask me)
in general, i guess, rather than informing me, it’ll be better if my system scares off the intruder.. like PIR based flashers etc..
BTW, why do a ‘poor? man’ need security?
although, great job pal.
Scraped it for parts?!?!? You MONSTER!!!
Bro add a capacitor connected to the power supply and the alarm? trigger; just in case if a “break in” occurs, people wouldn’t be able to shut it off by cutting off the power supply. In this case, the capacitor would “drain” into powering the alarm for initiation.
