Alarm System for Perm Houses

[Sybar]

a buddy of mine is installing a car alarm system for his Perm House, What A Great Idea!! right?...

What do you do for Securing your shack from the little kiddies out there?

[BartmanMN]

And when it goes off, who will attend to it? Unless it is set up to shock the people or something, not sure it will help to much. The same question came up this summer when people boat trailers were getting messed with while people were out fishing.

Look up on internet D e W a l t Mobilelock jobsite security system. I know a few people who use it for fish house and lake cabins, trailers, whatever they leave unattended. Theres a little cost to it, but it includes gps tracking if someone was to steal it completely, and it can be set-up a few different ways and easily moved from place to place.

I like the idea of a 5-mile fencer hook to the door knob, a CO might have a different thought on the subject

[masterpuppet]

That might not be a bad Idea as the sound would carry very far and at least make people looking the that dieration and see what is happeing. They would see the car or snowmoblie they are driving. At least it would be a place for the cops to start.

nobody breaks into ice houses when people are watching or are around. by the time anybody knew they were there they would be long gone. good idea, but heres a better one. dont leave stuff you'll miss in an ice house. A guy on a lake i wont name two years ago had his flat screen along with surround sound and stereo system stolen out of his ice house. that will learn yah.

Wouldn't it just be easier to take the wheelhouse off with you instead of worrying over someone breaking into it??

here is what i do.i take all the spendy stuff out and leave the rest.when i leave all i do is lock the dead bolt.if they want in bad enough they will get in.i have blinds in my windows i close those before i leave that way they can not look inside top see whats in there.putting alarm system on a fish out on the lake is kinda funny.if its a pull behind the npull it off the lake.alot of ppl do that on lotw.

I installed an alarm on my skidhouse. I leave it unlocked but the strobe lights and alarm are set to go off if the door is opened. I keep my shack empty so there is nothing to steal and with the 120 db alarm they wont stick around long to do much else. The lake is usually pretty busy and I usually check it often if I havent fished in it recently. I run the system off a flasher battery.

[David Kasten]

im sorry man but if i was fishing next to a house that had an alarm and it somehow happened to trip like they always do i would be upset about having to listen to that thing all night. Look at it this way Matt, after you take your belongins out you still alarm the thing, (which you spent money and time on just to "spook" somebody away??? who is the joke really on?

I have an idea but, it would cost around 1000.00 if you were serious or had a very nice big house with lcd tv, sat, kegerator, etc. Use a solar panel with a home alarm system and cellular back up. GE or ademco make some nice systems you could get on the internet and if you are electrically inclined, could wire up your self. People use them on their cabins when not there. When it goes off the alarm using its back up batt like from a flasher calls the service center, which in turn calls you. like i said just an idea, far from practical. the best option is a cattle fence power supply hooked up to your door knob, with a switch hidden some where to shut it off. Oh I'm sorry did i say that out loud. (Sarcasm) check local laws before applying this last method. Could be a potential lawsuit, but would be fun. Good luck on keeping those little bastards out.

You could set up an alarm system. But if you want to put a face to the crook before you scare him away - you could use one of those new wireless deer cameras that will send the pics to your computer.

[Joe15]

That is the best idea so far and a heck of alot cheaper

[David Kasten]

i dont think the fence thing is such a good idea, afterwards somebody is either A. Going to kick your door in (if there nice)

B. Drive there pickup right threw the wall of your house. (seen the aftermath) someone did this for 3 fishing poles and a tackle box.

[Charlie kempf]

just dont leave your stuff behind,would like to greet someone at my door unexpectedly, shame on them.

6 inches of cable and a flash bang.

[andrew chadwick]

how about jsut a good quality lock and door with barred windows. Wouldnt that solve the problem. If some one realy wants into your house, they are going to get in no matter what.

[huntingislife]

Since my house is empty the only thing I am worried about is people fishing in my unlocked house and throwing garbage everywhere. Or the occasional person that thinks it would make a nice bathroom. The alarm system cost about $30 and keeps the majority of the idiots away. Sounds like a good investment to me.
