hi there our caravan has got an idm4 alarm

there is a keypad above the door you can set a delay time so you dont annoy other happy campers when you open the door on the van.there is a passive infrared sensor on the inside of the caravan which covers the full length of the inside of the van.it has a tow alarm which senses if the electrics are pluged into a socket.it has a tilt sensor and alarm goes off if the hook up lead is disconnected it is easy to use and set up and i bet you can still buy them off a certain auction site

you will sleep well knowing there is an alarm on your van

you will sleep better if there are security posts around it !!!!!!!

same here IDM4 very good.

IDM4 Alarm System Keypad operated alarm system designed specifically for caravan installation Order no.: IDM4 Price: £ 199.00

What did you do the last time you heard a car alarm go off?

just thinking that myself.lol.problem is the insurance demands it it place.at this very moment a newish mini outside has its alarm going off and nobody is taking a bit of notice.more annoying than anything.

I have used one of these battery operated PIR's from Aldi or Lidl. - about a tenner or less I think.  It certainly works very well and might scare off an intruder with the very loud noise.  However it could be ripped off the wall with ease and disarmed by removing the batteries but I'm not prepared to spend a fortune.

It comes with a remote control and can be switched off without going off when you come in.

The question is though are there any thieves hanging around to get caught.  Nobody taking any notice - you are taking notice and possibly other people peeping out from behind curtains.  Thieves don't like drawing attention - it is safer to move on to an unprotected target.
