Secure Your Property with V-ALARM: The Ultimate Early-Warning Tamper Detection
In an era where security is paramount, the V-ALARM vibration detection module offers a robust, versatile solution for protecting your most valuable assets. Whether you’re securing a residential home or a large-scale commercial operation, V-ALARM provides true early-warning tamper detection by identifying unauthorized movement before a breach occurs.
Versatile Applications for Every Need
V-ALARM is designed to be multi-purpose and affordable, making it suitable for a wide range of environments:
- Residential Security: Protect gate motors, garage doors, security gates, and front doors. Ideal for safes inside the home.
- Business Protection: Secure shipping containers, mobile shops, storage facilities, and roll-up doors.
- Infrastructure & Utilities: Monitor solar panels, power distribution boxes, and telecom equipment cabinets.
- Remote Sites: Low power use makes it great for caravans, boats, and farm gear without reliable mains power.
Smart Features & Technical Excellence
- Low Power Consumption: ~1mA standby — runs for months on a 12V 7Ah battery.
- Adjustable Sensitivity: Fine-tune the vibration threshold to reduce false alarms.
- Authorized Entry Logic: Paired with an RF receiver to ignore normal gate use.
- Visual Indicators: STATUS LED shows modes like standby, trigger, or low voltage.
How Authorized Entry vs. Tampering Works
Authorized Entry
The RX_IN terminal receives a LOW signal from a paired gate receiver when an authorized remote is pressed. V-ALARM then:
- Temporarily bypasses vibration alarms for 2 minutes.
- Resets the timer if the remote is pressed again within that period.
- Flashes the STATUS LED 4 times to confirm authorized entry.
Tampering Detection
If vibration exceeds your set threshold without the RX_IN signal:
- STATUS LED stays on during vibrations then flashes 2 times.
- The relay output triggers a siren/alarm for ~30 seconds.
- Sensitivity is adjustable via the onboard potentiometer.
