Build your own Perimeter Alarm To Protect Your Home&Camp

Living in an unsafe area? Worried about burglars or intruders? Protecting your home and/or camp can be tricky, but it doesn’t have to be expensive or complex. You can build your own DIY perimeter alarm system with ease. Let’s take a look at how you can build your own alarm system to keep your loved ones safe.

What You’ll Need

To build your own perimeter alarm system, you’ll need a few simple components that are easy to find and assemble. Here is what you will need to get started:

• Motion sensors
• Empty soda cans or bottles
• String or wire (enough to encircle the perimeter)
• Crowbar
• Hammer
• Nails

Step 1: Setup The Motion Sensors

The first step to setting up your own DIY perimeter alarm is to setup the motion sensors. This should be done at the perimeter of your property. The motion sensors need to be installed in a spot that can detect any movement within a certain range of your property. Position the motion sensors in a way that will detect any intruders.

Step 2: String the Bottles or Cans

Now it’s time to string the empty soda cans or bottles along the perimeter. This will act as a warning system that will alert you if someone is crossing the perimeter. Take the string or wire and attach it to each bottle or can. Then, tie a knot after each one so that they are securely connected to the string. Make sure that the string is tight and that the bottles or cans are securely attached.

Step 3: Add the Crowbar & Hammer

Now it’s time to add the crowbar and hammer into the equation. This will allow you to break into the perimeter if an intruder attempts to enter. Position the crowbar and hammer close to the perimeter, so that you can easily access it. Then, use the nails to ensure that the items stay in place.

Step 4: Test & Adjust as Needed

Now it’s time to test your DIY perimeter alarm! Try activating the alarm by approaching the perimeter. If the alarm is triggered, the cans or bottles should make a noise and you should be able to hear it from a distance. Adjust the perimeter as needed if the alarm is not triggered as intended.

Conclusion

Building your own perimeter alarm is easy and can provide you with the protection you need. With the help of a few motion sensors, some empty bottles or cans, and a few other common items, you can construct your own perimeter alarm system. Just be sure to test and adjust the system as needed in order to ensure that it works properly.
