What Are the Benefits of a Barking Dog Alarm?

Uninvited intruders don't like barking dog alarms. Neither does anyone with malicious intent. In fact, it's probably safe to say most of them don't even like dogs, at least not in the home they're going to invade.

Most burglaries and home intrusions occur at night, although many do occur during the day. Sometimes a neighborhood is so busy and loud that the noise of shattering glass is not noticed. If you don't have a dog to scare off intruders, there is another solution that works just as well.

The Barking Dog Alarm might even be better than a real dog, since it has a deeper angrier sound than many smaller breeds that home owners may have. If a trespasser steps into the range of the motion-sensored alarm, which is stationed in the home but can detect outside activity, the remote dog sounds like it will come through the wall in attack mode.

This should be enough to make any trespasser turn tail and run . They couldn't know that the noise coming from inside is not from a real dog because the barking varies in loudness and ferocity with the movement of the person. Today's technology is more realistic than it was years ago when a barking dog alarm just had a repetitive barking routine that was obviously not from a real dog.

The electronic radar-wave sense control is what allows the alarm to "see" through all form of building material from wood to cement. Any motion within the 100 degree triangle of guarded area will trip the sensor and wreak havoc from your low maintenance guard dog.

Everything is adjustable from the volume to the distance of the radar sensitivity and can also change the bark to a chime or alarm. You can set it up every night using the remote control from your bedroom or living room before you retire. You can also set off a panic alarm with the remote if that were necessary.

While away on vacation or just for the day or night, the 9" tall alarm system plugs into the wall so you won't have to be concerned about batteries dying. However, if you want the battery back-up source in case you lose electricity, you will have to buy the 8 AA batteries it will need to function during a power outage.

The downside element of this Barking Dog Alarm unit is that the sensor has to face the area you want motion detected from. It is not able to react to motion coming from the sides or rear of the alarm. However, you can add one additional unit to this system, gaining a more expansive range of protection.

So, after considering the benefits, the barking dog alarm could be the ideal alternative to owning a real dog. You have the advantage of having a protected home without coming up with money for the food, vet care, toys, beds, etc. that you might spend on a real dog. However, even if you have a warmer live version of the barking alarm, you might still want to know your house is protected by a vicious sounding dog who will bark at intruders while you're on vacation and this just might be what would work for you.
