Yes, usually me moving it or getting ready to leave and forget the alarm is on. Then I get those looks. You know, those loooks!!For AAA batteries, I just use rechargeables. It feels a bit better!
For your usage (ie locked bike kept within eyesight, hopefully not in a theft-riddled neighbourhood), those alarms might suffice.
(I'm assuming that the bar scenario you're describing has to do with someone _innocently_ touching the bike.)
Much thanks!
I hear ya Foof. My cheapie complete with remote control has a limited range and the alarm also goes off randomly once in awhile without the bike being touched. The next time the batteries crap out, I probably scrap the cheap alarm. It's annoying wasting good zip ties...
Oh, I see: The post-pub scenario!
they are so bulky too cheap made and break both the alarm and the remotes. buttons get pushed accidentally so the arm is set when I dont have the fob with me.
Then mine won't fit. There is no app or tracking. Its focus is on trying to _prevent_ the theft.
It appears to randomly go off, because it has no intelligence. The manufacturer configures the electronics to be at a certain level of sensitivity. Sometimes, they provide a mechanism for you to do the same. But, live analysis (ie intelligence) is required.
they dont share the same remote code I have two of the same and needed two remotes. two of the same remotes was a real pain. but having a auto alarm would really helps in making sure it is ready to go. I mean for me to ride my bike I have to get dressed put on my heart rate monitor unlock my garage take the bike out (one key works for my bike locks battery locks and garage lock) lock up the garage then put the battery in using the key then turn on the system. and what's usual turn off and on the bluetooth as it dies not always connect to the HRM. check the tires and turn on the Garmin. the Garmin turns on the Garmin radar and used to turn on front and back lights too. I went to a wheel light that turned on automatically because I would forget to turn it on till I was riding. I need more simple.
Yeah, I understand. You need an integrated solution ie a single brand's. Something like one from Bosch I saw a video for, recently. ... This one, perhaps:
ya I saw that .I could lock my motor now with my bosch system. I dont really care about GPS is a doubt the cops would use it to find your bike. I just want a good alarm that is auto. I know my weakness and need some automation.
Hmm. You mentioned a Garmin, so I assumed GPS.
aka vendors page
Thought so. Much thanks!
There are brand-specific forums as well. So I got confused.
