how can I Connect a beeping device to A motion sensor light

[Kella.md]

:call: Hi Guys please let me know if this is possible.

I want to install a motion sensor light with an addition cord connected to the sensor that runs to my room with a device that will beep when motion is sensed. The beeping can be anything irritating enough to wake me up if I happen to be sleeping. This will be a out door installation and I don’t exactly know what device I can use for the beeper and how I can connect the sensor and beeper.

The reason why I am interested in this is because my car is parked outside and is very visible to people when the pass the gate. The distance between the gate and my car is about 15M. 2 nights ago someone tried steeling the car, they broke the small triangular window and they must have ran away when the alarm was triggered. My fear is that the car alarm only went off when the door was opened, this I know because the small triangular window was broken and the bid rear window was rolled completely down. I suspect that the alarm was triggered when the door was opened. That means the culprits could come back and jump into the car through the window and have lots of time to find and disconnect the alarm. The funny thing is that neither I nor the people I am renting the backroom from heard the alarm. I discovered that the window was broken the next morning and know that the alarm went off because it has a different beep when the central locking button is pressed.

Please also feel free to make other suggestions that might server the same purpose. I don’t have much funds to spend at this time and I am renting a backroom so I want to avoid drilling holes or other complicated installation. To give you an idea what my place looks like:

There is palisade fencing around the yard, as mentioned the car parks about 15-20 meters from the gate my room is about 15-20 meters from the car. It is halfway covered by a soft undercarriage cover with about half a meter space between the house and car and on the other side of the car there is a wall that goes to about half way past the car. In front of the car there is a steel door that cannot open. I always park my car as close to the steel door and house as possible.

Thanks in advance for your advice and suggestions.

Connect a receptacle to the switched side of the motion sensor along with the lights. Then when it switches on the receptacle will be live. Plug in a radio or anything that makes noise. Leave it turned on and volume way up. It will be activated when the light comes on.

There are also battery powered driveway motion detectors. Since you seem more concerned about the car, shouldn't that be where you place the motion detector instead of some motion light (can someone mess with the car without setting off the motion light)?

These are about $20 and have a dinger unit which mounts inside the house and plugs in. You just have to watch for the motion detector battery going dead on you and staying silent. Better units have an indication on the base unit when the motion detector battery is going dead.

I think I've seen these at harborfreight.com. Note that cats and other animals can set off the motion detectors, so it may end up being more of a pain than anything else.

you could use deturance as a measure.

1. Install a camera monitor system that really works

2. Install a fake camera system that doesnt work obviously

In both cases, you want the cameras out of reach but highly visible. If the owners will allow it, you could post signs on both the gate and the steel door or other obvious spot that indicates that there are security cameras monitoring them and the area.

that could work.:star:

Here's a link to the harbor freight system, which is 100% battery operated:
