DIY burglar alarm using cheap PIRs, soldering iron and PC ?
- Are inconspicuous PIR sensors less of a deterent than a big bell-box?
Internal PIR sensors are no deterrent. By the time Mr Scrote The
Thieving Scumbag is close enough to see your PIRs he's in your property.
The standalone mains-powered PIR sensor has a row of Knight-rider style red
LEDS, which should attract the attention of anyone peering in through a
window. OTOH, they'd look silly and possibly reduce security if the PIR was
installed outside.
