Product Information

The main unit also has a small solar panel which can double the 18-month battery life (provided it gets enough sunlight to work with). Although these can be annoying for you and neighbours if you get a faulty one that triggers over nothing all the time, the noise can help to startle burglars and make them flee before they grab anything valuable.

Although product information is regularly updated, Aldi is unable to accept liability for any incorrect information. Also, this shed alarm does emit a small ‘pip’ sound when it detects movement, which may alert intruders to its presence and location. All of these can work well if installed correctly and in an appropriate place, and all can be set off accidentally if set up wrong.There are also alarms that will phone you or send you a text message (in addition to an audible siren) if they detect a break in! Given that you’re only required to press a single button, they’re easier to deactivate within the alarm’s grace period compared to other alarms. The main alarm system is battery powered, running off 4 x AA batteries, which are not included, and the small remotes use cell batteries, which are included.

The box comes with 1 motion sensor alarm, 1 remote control, all batteries, mounting base and an user manual. Fit it to the wall or place it on a shelf and it will activate when detecting movement from anywhere within 12m. Be aware that this door alarm should only be used on the inside of buildings, not externally, as it doesn’t have any specific weatherproofing. Compare this with the cheap PIR systems where various things (pets, rodents, birds, insects etc) can set them off, which can get really annoying.Obviously, your alarm won’t be much good once it runs out of juice, but trying to turn off an alarm with a low-battery remote fob isn’t any picnic either. The alarm can be enabled and disabled with the supplied remote control which works from up to 100 m distance. The kit includes a horn and two door/window sensors, two remote controls, and a PIR motion detector.

Invest in the WER wireless shed alarm which comes with an adjustable wall mounting bracket and 2 remote controls. The shed alarm runs on 4 AA batteries, and the shed alarm displays a red indicator if the battery is running low and needs a replacement. Other things that can go wrong are people forgetting to replace the batteries in their alarms, rendering them pretty much useless, or in the case of alarms that are connected to the mains supply, leaving the power cable exposed and easy for thieves to cut.

The Defender Shed Alarm is extremely useful for arming specific entry points, and is another simple and inexpensive alarm option. However, if it can be deactivated with a remote control, then the alarm can be placed higher out of the way. And besides, (as we'll see) they're so easy to set up and some of them are so cheap these days, that there's no reason not to give them a go. This shed alarm produces a loud siren of 105 dB, although with the shed doors closed it can be more difficult to hear from inside the house.
