CPVAN 125dB Motion Sensor Alarm, Wireless Indoor PIR Motion Detector with 328ft Remote, 40ft Detection Range, Battery Operated Siren for Home Garage Van Shed, CP2 Pro White

For the price, this unit is great. Issues a piercing alarm and seems sensitive to motion at least 15-20 ft away. Requires no Internet or WiFi, is simple to set up, and may be powered by either 3-AAA batteries or using your own standard 5V mini USB adapter . The supplied remote (with included button battery) is a great convenience since the unit may be mounted in an inaccessible location. Although there is no alarm delay, you can use the remote to arm the unit once you exit the detection range. I found that the alarm stops after 2 mins (unit remains armed). The chime alarm is less loud and just rings a single time - useful if you wanted a warning of intrusion while you were home. I had some initial concerns and found their support (via email) to be prompt and courteous.

This works much better than the other brand I tried.

Loud, very versatile, quickly shipped, and the remote adds a nice bit of convince. Bought some, tried them, was pleased overall, so I bought some more. Dropped a star in the "Ease of Use" category due to what I found to be instructions that are a bit less than perfectly clear and are printed in an unacceptably small "micro" font typeface. That said, gathering what I could from the instructions (nicely housed in booklet form) with some old school hands-on experimentation yielded the desired results, and I had multiple units up and running and paired with the removed in perhaps 15 minutes. The decibel-level put my concerns about how loud they are to rest--they are very loud. They can be toggled between a shrieking alarm setting (my choice) and a fairly typical "doorbell" sound, not as loud sounding as the alarm setting, but definitely loud enough for satisfactory use if you want them to alert you to folks entering you business, kids coming or going though certain areas of the house, or other such applications. They come very nicely packaged, each with a stand that can be screwed in place (screws included) or affixed with stick-on material (also included). And they sit soundly on flat surfaces, if you choose to forgo the above-mentioned types of more permanent mountings. Pickup (sensitivity) range is good, although in testing the devices I've had to get a bit closer than I would have otherwise thought to each unit before they begin to scream. To be clear, one doesn't have to get right up on them, but the trigger distance is a tad closer (around 0 feet or a bit closer) than I imagined it would be. That said, I have some (most) set at angles, so I haven't done a more "scientific" test with the units, coming toward them in a straight line (point A to point B) front-on approach. My guess is that the pickup/activation distance would increase were that the case. That too said, I am perfectly content with the above-mentioned triggering distance, as it suits my purposes just fine. Batteries are included and have functioned flawlessly for about 6 weeks so far, and they are still going strong. There's a handy USB charging option (to be used with rechargeable batteries, I suppose) but I'll unlikely use that option, assuming I continue to get this great "mileage" (or even better with higher quality, brand-name batteries?) using battery only power. The remote alarm (battery included) functions well overall, and comes in very handy, although the units can be programmed and turned on and off without the use of a remote. I have noticed a time or two that I may had to press a function button (to arm or turn off the units) more than once IF the alarm units happen to be spread out over significant distances, which happens to be the case. This is no big deal; I've simply made a habit of pressing the disarm button (and the arm button, too) twice while moving from one extreme end of my property to the other. Again, this is no fault per se, and the need for a repeat press of the remote button is by no means required in every case--I've just made a habit of doing it, just to be certain the signal has reached all units. This product seems to be made of quality materials and is a very nice, fairly small size (small enough that they do not call attention the themselves and are easily "concealable" if that serves one's purpose. I am very satisfied with these alarms, the only exception being the aforementioned ( "physically/literally") difficult to read and sometimes a bit difficult to understand instructions. In closing, I would (and already have) buy these again and recommend them to those seeking simple, effective, and versatile alarms that can be had at a very reasonable price.

I love it, but I keep forgetting to turn it off. It's good & loud, so it scares me & I go through a lot of underwear!

This alarm is super affordable and super easy to set-up. The on and off symbol on the remote are very hard to tell apart, but the deal-breaker for me was the false alarms. I was using it to provide coverage near my bedroom as part of a larger (but wired) security system. It randomly went off in the middle of the night and thank goodness I didn't call the police. Nothing triggered the wired system and I was able to verify it was a false alarm which is completely unacceptable for my particular use. For outside to scare away raccoons or as a chime, where a false alarm is only a nuisance, this would be a good purchase. But not when your personal safety is involved...

I had my boat broken into recently and lost a fair amount of stereo equipment. Not sure why it never dawned on me that I might need an alarm. I decided I'd better do some research on an alarm before replacing all the stereo components. I dont want to just buy the next thief some new stuff to steal. I found there aren't a lot of options for an alarm on a moored boat. Most people end up using an inexpensive motorcycle alarm. Motorcycle alarms sense an impact. Like someone stepping on the boat when no one should be there. While those are great for a boat sitting on it's trailer -I envisioned a lot of false alarms on a boat that is tied up in a moorage and bumping into the dock anytime the wind pics up. Not a good way to make friends with the neighbors in the marina... The result, I needed a motion sensor alarm that can be directed at the floor. I concluded it would probably be best to just build my own. While researching and piecing together parts, I ran across this little gem. For the price, I figured this would be a good interim solution while I piece together my custom alarm. It's so small, it couldn't possibly be loud enough. To give it a try, I stuck it up under the cockpit table and aimed it toward the floor where no one would see it. I set it on the chime alarm to test it out. It worked perfectly. No false alarms. Okay, let's test the intruder alarm. Whoa!! It is ear piercing loud!! I can't believe something that small can put out so much volume! The thing works so well that I actually abandoned the idea of building my own. I can't imagine building something that would work better than this little thing.

Little but loud CPVAN motion detector alarm works great with three AA batteries. Detects motion instantly and has great range. Same for the remote control fob which you only need to press once while pointed in the general direction of the alarm to arm or disarm unit. I am editing my review 0n 12/23/24 and reducing my star rating from five stars down to three. The reason for this is because after two and a half years of almost daily use the device went haywire for no apparent reason. No matter since I have a second device that I purchased as a replacement in case the first device did exactly what its doing. Hopefully the replacement will last longer than the first or I will have to amend my rating again. I am editing my review again on 1/3/25 and reducing my star rating from three stars down to one. The above mentioned second replacement device is malfunctioning right out of the box. This includes randomly changing modes, randomly activating or deactivating itself and randomly alerting for no apparent reason. I even reset both devices according to the instruction booklet but problems persisted. At least I got several years of use from the first device but the second device never functioned properly and I suspect it may have been a return that was reboxed. Not happy !

I'm not too proud to say that I am sometimes outwitted by my dogs. Lately they have decided if the weather is unfavorable, they will slip away to a distant (thankfully tiled) room rather than brave the elements when nature calls. Very frustrating! I had tried another motion detection device which was cheap and useless. This one has worked VERY well so far. The only problem I've had is figuring out the exact field of detection. I have it set up on a chair near their preferred location. So far they've been busted three times. After the siren goes off (and it is LOUD), the dogs run to the door, their expressions saying, "OH, was I in the house? I TOTALLY meant to go to the door." Pros: Setup could not be simpler. It doesn't require mounting (I have set it on table, chairs, etc., trying for best position). Does come with mounting hardware if you're so inclined. Can change to a pleasant doorbell like sound if you like. Remote is simple and everything can be accomplished with a click. Remote is handy for quick shut off after alarm triggered. The only issue thus far has been manipulating the device to get it placed just where I want, but that's not a big deal at all. It seems fairly well made, and I definitely am glad I purchased. I can see a lot of uses for this device, but for now, it is admirably serving the purpose for which I purchased it. One last caveat: do make your spouse or other family members are aware that it is on, armed, and how to turn it off. I am not sure my husband appreciated the surprise effect when he went to put away something in the closet and tripped the alarm. I will update if it doesn't last or continue to work well, but for now I could not be more pleased, although my dogs would not concur.

Amazing, works exactly how you'd want it to and the instructions are very clear, damn is this thing loud, if you're right next to it it will make your ears ring which is exactly how I like it, it's definitely enough to scare someone away I also tried the remote from inside my house while the alarm was in my shed and could still hear it arming and disarming when pressing the remote so I love that it works really far away, and we have quite a large backyard and the sheds on the other side of it, this thing does what it says and I'm really happy with it

لا يمكن برمجته. ينطفئ تلقائيا ولا يستجيب لأي برمجة تتم حسب تعليمات دليل المستخدم. الريموت كنترول لا يخص الوحدة لانه لايمكن عمل ارتباط بينهما كما هو المفترض ان يتم تلقائيا من المصنع. انصح بعدم شراؤه. احفظ نقودك It cannot be programmed. It turns off automatically and does not respond to any programming carried out according to the instructions of the user manual. The remote control does not belong to the unit because it is not possible to make a connection between them as it is supposed to be done automatically from the factory. I advise not to buy it. Save your money !!

I bought this 1 year ago now, I use it almost every night since, and even sometimes turn it on while I'm in the shower. This little device is a must have for all solo nighttime anxious apartment tenants. Very glad that it comes with removable batteries so that I can recharge them, otherwise who knows how long this would have lasted. I will solo travel with this. I have a single entrance to my bedroom and I turn the alarm nightly with my handy remote. ONLY thing I dont like so far is that it can be silenced if you hit the top of it, which is great if you accidentally trigger it but crappy because an intruder can easily disarm it. because the batteries have a screw cover if they disabled that function, an intruder would literally have to break it to shut it off. That could distract them. It's a pretty big downside for me since I use it for security. I will buy another if I see it go on sale, I'd like to have a backup in case it fails. I'd also like to buy them for my single female friends. I studied product design, I like this product. <3

I am happy with the CPVan motion sensor. I use it sitting on a shelf. It detects motion in less than one second and emits a shrill siren sound audible anywhere in the house. I can arm and disarm it with the remote fob within the house very easily. It does not need line sight contact like a TV remote does. Very handy device for only $58 tax included.

Only concerned about easily knocked from it's mounting bracket by intruders.
