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

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.

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!

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.

The CPVAN 125db Loud Motion Sensor Alarm is one of the most intelligently designed devices it has ever been my pleasure to use. It seems to have anticipated all the features I need and how I want to use them. For example, my wife and I -- both octogenarians -- want to make sure sure we are comfortable using it before unleashing its full ear-splitting 125 decibels. Its design makes it easy for us to do this. Background: We have a fire-resistant bag containing materials crucial to our way of life. and which, if at all possible, we would take with us in any emergency. We guard it when we're away by arming our burglar alarm so that any intruder would be stopped by the prompt arrival of police. But of course we disarm the house upon return, and feel vulnerable after we retire for the night. That's where our new unit comes in. It's positioned so that any intruder about to enter our private space will trigger the siren, giving us time to take action, and most likely causing the intruder to retreat. To be in the same space with that sound I'm sure is painful. Critical to the unit's operation is a remote control which uses radio frequency, thus eliminating the need for a line-of-sight connection, though -- in our experience -- we need to be very much closer than the 325 feet advertised. My inquiry regarding the warranty got a swift and satisfactory reply from the excellent customer service team. To be sure, the manual of instructions, though complete, is so tiny that we need a magnifying glass to read them, which, in our age, is to be expected. We heartily endorse this unit, and urge you to consider its purchase.

These are great EXCEPT for the face that the remote control SUCKS, after 6 months or so. Remotes won't turn units on or off anymore. I've purchased over 8 of these and all remotes fail after time. I've become very good at soldering the inside contacts to make them work again. MOST OF THE TIME. If it weren't for the sucky remotes I'd give em 5 stars. ps They should offer a replacement remote for these cause you going to need them in time

These alarms are great. I just bought my 2nd one recently. The range is good--I have them high up near the ceiling in a high-ceiling studio apartment and they detect movement without a problem. They are extremely loud and make the normal alarm sound you’d hear if you had a higher-end alarm system. These remotes are excellent, too, because they can arm/disarm these from outside the residence, through walls. There is no need for line-of-sight. I arm/disarm these while in my vehicle in the driveway with zero issues. Pairing remotes to another unit is very easy; as well, so you only need to use one remote for multiple alarms, which allows you to give another remote to someone else that would need it. The only downfall is if you plan to use batteries for the power source you’ll be replacing them about once a month (that was my experience using name-brand batteries and arming/disarming pretty frequently). I suggest you do what I did and get a USB-Micro USB (https://www.amazon.com/Micro-USB-to-Cable/dp/B004GETLY2); you’ll also need a USB wall charger. Or, you could an ac power adapter. Either way, I wouldn’t use the batteries as the primary power source, as it’s worth investing in a constant power source, and leaving the batteries in just in case power goes out.

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 !

The Pros; very loud-deafening, small (1/4 the size of our previous detector), easy to install, can alarm with fob from a good distance away(previous type had to be directly under/in front of), inexpensive, dependable. The Cons; Eats batteries (about 6 weeks - 2 months, beeps when batteries are low (usually in middle of night), directions were difficult to understand (we're 70 & have difficulty with new technology). Overall we like these detectors, they work well and despite the battery issue they are a great little product. We are looking into using the plug in power, have to rewire closest power source to do that. May try lithium batteries first & see if they last longer.

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.

Hurts the ears when it goes off. Feel much better when I go out for the day. Great quality and value for money!
