As a freelance photographer for digital image banks, I have amassed quite a number of professional cameras and accessories. They sit in a diminutive home office adjoining a dark room, probably the costliest section of the house.
It drove my wife up the wall that I tended to circumnavigate these rooms in a late night stupor, worried my moneymaker would be burgled and lose my equipment. Surely, we aren't too poor to buy an infrared motion alarm, she snapped.
Among the diverse range of infrared motion alarm products I later saw across websites, none would indeed break the bank. Although a good number were tied to total home security systems, I wanted one separate item.
I ended up ogling the Mace Motion Alert, what with its petite beauty. Being trained professionally to bother with visual layouts, I even appreciated that it can be installed horizontally or vertically.
Engineered to discern action inside a marked location, this passive infrared motion alarm can be locked up by a personal security code and does not cease sounding otherwise. I can replace the alarm sound with a dual-tone chime.
Of matching attractiveness was the Mini Alert Alarm, which triangulates the area with an unseen passive IR fence that can not be infiltrated without tripping the alarm. I needed not worry about cabling as either one works on battery power.
I went for the two. I did not regret it, as my infrared motion alarm devices teamed up to fortify my work space, so much so that I was going to buy home security systems next.
It was my wife who produced the most priceless reaction to triggering an alarm. She had expectedly walked into my work area at the end of her work day. No more mission: impossible from you then!, she exclaimed.
