This is something I have utilized in certain locations for at least 10 years. They are very effective. Don't ask me how I know.
https://www.burglarbomb.comI'd rather have my ADT. They won't get into my house undetected. I'd be afraid of those things going off accidentally. But they might work in some circumstances. Like an out building. And what if you have a fire and the firemen have to get in?
I have ADT, too, in my home. And, I never said they were to take the place of security systems. I'm speaking of outbuildings. As to the fire issues I'm so far away from fire teams (and the outbuildings are heart pine which burns exceedingly hot and fast), that I'm not too concerned for the firemen's safety. It'll be gone long before they get here.
I have an outbuilding also where I keep my cars. I checked about having some type of system like that. I went to city hall here about it and they really frowned on it. My police get here screaming at 100 mph and are here pretty quickly. In fact, I have had numerous false alarms over the past 25 years, and they usually get here before I want them to. 😁 But they told me that if a fireman or police officer went inside and got sprayed or had to run to keep from getting sprayed and fell, I could be in trouble. And the way things are today, if a kid or a burglar goes inside and gets sprayed, they told me I could get sued. And my fire department told me if they know that they could get sprayed, it could result in them not getting close enough to a building to be efficient enough to put out a fire. And I don't want my cars, tools and other stuff to be destroyed. I sold seven Model 21s so that I could buy one of my Corvettes. I don't want to lose it. ADT told me to stop burglars BEFORE they get into my house. So, that is the way I have my home set up. I ran the ADT system out to my outbuilding. So far- so good. But whatever works for you.
