Minder MA30 MkII Mini PIR Motion Sensor Home Garage Shed Burglar Wireless Security Alarm with IR Remote Control (Without Batteries, White)

This is our 2nd purchase of this alarm. The remote broke but it was to be expected as we've had it for 8 years. Altogether a fantastic alarm for a low price

Works great, although seems to take a few seconds to register movement and sound the alarm (not too long to be concerned). Definitely loud enough and easy to install.Maybe could have done with 2 remotes as we have two sets of keys for the shed....

Same as the key pad type but very easy to disarm/arm and only one beep for each a lot more user friendly. The remote is not wireless, its infra red, The IR controller I got has a max range of 3 metres and a reliable range of 1.5 metres and under; I find no problem with the range because after all it is a shed/garage/room alarm. The IR remote big bonus is that when the alarm is mounted free standing or on the wall using the adjustable bracket it never needs to be disturbed except when changing batteries and they last for a very long time. With the plug in additional sounder it is loud to the point of ear defenders are a good idea. I would give this simple but effective alarm 10/10.

Very loud ?easy to set up bought two for my garages ,decided to get one more for my hut ,only gripe if it is a gripe ,delay in sounding off 30 secs after activated,,maybe a tad to long ????other than that ?ok.pn second thoughts!!!! It does activate after 5 secs when on ,so ok for me!!!!

The media could not be loaded. Update:This has lasted less than a year. The remote has broken. The microswitch under the button to unset the alarm has lost contact. Therefore the alarm cannot be turned off. Obviously this happened at the most inconvenient time, when the rest of my family was asleep. In a frantic bid to turn the alarm off, after continuous pressing the unset button I had to rip the unit off the wall and bung it in the dryers drum until it auto turned off after thirty seconds. I opened up the remote room discover the issue with the button.Original review:I have mixed feelings about this product. I bought it to protect my garage as a permanent alarm whilst the home alarm was not set as it doesn’t have zones. I chose this one as I wanted one with a remote to control it rather than using a pin code as the remote was always in a secure location before entering the garage. However, you need to be quite close for the actual remote to work. Even in its line of sight. The maximum distance away is about one and a half metres. I could take two more steps and type a pin code in. This is the products only flaw in my opinion. I like how it only gives ten seconds to disarm the alarm once triggered. Many alarms give a burglar thirty seconds before sounding the alarm. This one will send them scarpering instantly though. It also gives a courtesy chirp as soon as the sensor senses movement. Which gives you enough time to quickly fumble around to get the remote if you’ve accidentally forgot to disarm it. The alarm sound itself is extremely loud and effective. The pith and the tone sounds better than other alarms I had. A real sense of urgency. The range of the sensor PIR is good. I am overall very happy with my purchase.

Great little product for protecting sheds outbuildings etcEasy to set upLoud enough to create a deterrentGood range on the Remote fob

We have three of these. They are easy to use and piercing sirens. Just what we hoped for. However, one of them suddenly stopped working, without warning. I changed the batteries in the main unit, still wouldn't work. Then I changed the CR2032 button battery in the remote control and it now works perfectly.My concern is the fact that it didn't give us any warning whatsoever. So, I wonder: what if an intruder had broken in on the very day the Minder suddenly stopped working?

Used in summerhouse good little alarm. loud . Cant comment on reliability yet but will come back in six months to update review.At under £20 and 130 decibells it will certainly scare off a would-be thief and is a good back up to a security light and cameras.
