This is an auto dialer triggered by 12v input that sends texts to phones

looks quite a simple set up! where did you buy if from if i may ask?

 

[AstonHill]

I was thinking of buying one of these and setting it inside of the trailer in case someone dose get in

Pardon our interruption...

if they do then do you think they will trigger the sensor on it and it will dial my phone?

Search eBay for "GPS GF-07" - it's a £7 gps tracker that you can also call and listen to the world around it

Probably better than an alarm/mobile idea, which is really only useful if you're near enough to the thing being stolen, to apprehend the thief when the alarm rings you to say it's being stolen.( Near enough in that case probably being "can hear the alarm". )

Any further away and your item will be gone, untracked and all you'll have is a call from the alarm telling you something you already know; your item was stolen

Alarms that call make sense for something that cannot be moved, but for things that move you need to track them, not simply hope that you're close enough all the time to stop unauthorised movement

But this is for something that dose not move so a tracker is no good!

I do not understand.
"Does not move" surely if it is attached/inside something that actually does move then it will move with it, hence be capable of tracking? I would have thought?

4g PIR alarm, seems to be quite pricey at around £150 but I'm sure there will be some cheap stuff on Alibaba that works a bit or a used one might be found on eBay.

the likely hood of it being stolen is very unlikly and more likely that it will be broken into

Obviously "a bike alarm" in the title of the thread is referring to an exercise bike. How could you not have worked that out???

What exactly are we talking about? I thought we were talking about a bike, and I'm not sure how one would/could "break into" one of them?

This was my thoughts also, I have looked a few times at accessories for the bike, the problem is one finding things which will work with 48 volt that powers my e-bike, and two the main thing likely to be stolen is the battery, being likely the most expensive bit of the bike, and clearly once removed anything powered from it will fail.

I tend to use a ruck sack, into which I can place the battery and the charger, in the hope I will find somewhere to charge it. Morrison's don't seem to mind while I am having a meal, and railway certainly don't mind.

I have, when I think there may be a problem, left the whole bike at the railway. It folds in two so does not take up much room. But the main point is I use the bike to get rid of all the problems associated with a car, carrying extras other than a simple lock and wire rope would mean hardly worth having it. In the main, I can keep it rather close to me, so no problem with theft.

no its a static trailer to protect it from being broken into

48v is a lucky number is DC terms, can you just 1/2, 1/4 or 1/8 drop the voltage?

turns out now that this device must be plugged into a landline telephone

Hmmm, might be difficult then with a bike or a trailer
