So i just found out someone try bust open the front security door at home in broad day light.. i dont believe they have the nerves to try break in during day time and through FRONT door as well, lucky nothing was stolen and they failed that attempt, but now we are looking for a security upgrade and alarm for the house, would anyone know any good companies that do these security systems? i dont know much about these things so any help would be much appreciated.. Thanks.

this is a car forum???? wasteland

best alarm = a 200lb junk yard dog , movement sensing 50 caliber on a turret

jaycar ? watchguard for DIY?

some cost a fair bit and still wont stop intruders

I always wanted a moat filled with crocodiles and a drawbridge

I was serious, a big dog will stop crims before they break in, they dont want to tangle with a dog ?

DIY go to bunnings, they sell decent alarms for a few hundred, takes a few hours to install

or jaycar can get you some nice toys for security setups on the cheap

just because its monitored doesnt mean it will stop a crim. they respond so slow most of the time its pointless

Most people don't take notice of alarms, so unless it's monitored there isn't that much point. Might be a deterrent though.

What you need to do is make it difficult or near impossible to get in by using things like roller shutters on windows and security screen doors in front of solid timber doors that have nice locks like 001's. The more difficult you make it the more likely they are to go elsewhere like down the street looking for an easier target

kietz give ADT a call mate they do monitored alarm for homes

i got one and the cops or the patrol will come out within 10mins of the alarm being triggered off and its all hardwired etc...

When in doubt

Do what I'm doing:

Set up an alarm system that alerts your mobile as well as the monitoring security service (the smaller companies respond quicker than the bigger ones). Hidden cameras recording to HD on a dedicated PC, which can also be accessed at work via the web. Roller shutters on all windows helps too :P

some thread titles you just know are going to be filled with jokes :P

dog prob the best ill prob invest in 1 soon but there not full proof, maybe stay at home 24 7 an option

Well a big katana worked for me but thats not to say its foolproof ;P

I'd get a 7 foot fence, automated gates, motion sensor security lights, computer controlled rollerwindows, and rollerdoor for the car, a metal security door and a steel main door with a 6 pin deadlock, a big dog called brutus, motion sensor sentry guns like in the movie aliens, electrified razor wire, a moat filled with acid, laser guided intercontinental ballistic missiles with multiple independant re-entry vehicles with resolution up to the square foot, a naval quality railgun powered by my own nuclear reactor, ablative armour on the walls and roof, landmines under every square foot of lawn and razor blades attached to the branches of foliage, 240 volts rigged up to the metal parts of the house etc etc

yeah it'd cost a bit but they'd think twice... you'd hope...

-D

EDIT - And when I'm feeling really insecure, I take to the air in a helicopter gunship.

Now we're talking!!!! And I thought the oval office was going to be a motherf**ker to get into.....

move into my hood. people think you more likely to get broken into here.

But just think robbers have cars(if they dont they steal em) and who you wanna take chances and f with in their own home? rich pretty boy from some sheltered suburb or gheto mofo that prob has a knife collection in his room.

We ahve a winner here!!

at least with good camera footage you can hand it too police and its hard proof for your insurance company..

You can also get good locks with fingerprint recognition, for a reasonable price, so you don't have to carry keys and the lock can't be picked..

    • Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
