Here am now thinking perhaps the VMS for the cameras can do something with Alexa on a phone? I got tiny cam pro and onvifer, could buy blue iris if necessary. voice command per the sprinkler's instructions ' alexa start zone 1 for 5 minutes' Typically in my case for this, I do not need voice so I need to see if it can be programmable commands as well, Alexa or something else. Off the top it does exactly what I need e.g. While I have the device I have never really used it or looked into it. Alexa as the bridge in all of this might be were I should be looking. I have since asked the camera manufacturer and the sprinkler controller manufacturer for a listing of what can be done with their devices. This is the thing, I have to believe there programmable calls which can be used. There is quite a market for motion activated sprinkler heads, available nearly every where: Lot of DIY super soaker water guns tutorials out there as well, even with motion detection. Then paint ball claymore mines, even cooler on the ground, with trip wires or not, issue there is the clean up of course. Heck, even thought about a real stuffed raccoon or skunk sitting on top of the vehicle might work once or twice. Comes with a long range remote but again would need to tie it into motion detection somehow.ĭog barking sound boxes, some do have motion detection, but not sure how much of a deterrent that would be inside the garage or side entry of the dwelling Was thinking the loudest possible in a trash can next to the vehicle.

Then there's electronic fire crackers from the movie sector, super loud bangers and all sorts of others. Expensive though.Įven a kids balloon filled with food dye or anything nasty one can think of, above the door perhaps in a net of sorts, but again needs to some sort of trigger mechanism with motion detection to burst it. PepperAlarm – The Robber Stopper ideal since there is a terrace above half the length of the vehicle and this would fit right above the doors. Did extensive searching world wide and there are some neat devices around including this which I was about to press buy now on:

Just got worried that I would forget it one day and would drive over or through it ripping whatever it would be anchored to. Trip wire was the first thing I wanted to do as it would be flawless on the low lighting. I think a row of sprinklers going off around that hour would not raise suspicion as that is when they're normally set to go off? I need a less than obvious non lethal solution of course. What do I need or how can I have the camera call the sprinkler to fire zone 1 or 2 etc upon detection either client side on on board the camera? Or if anyone knows of a 'booby trap' product existing or has some other ideas. The camera is fairly sophisticated Vivotek CC8370-HV as is the Rainbird Controller which is Alexa compatible ( and I am not familiar with that), for voice commands. I have a zone of underground sprinklers along the path to the vehicle which I think is the best bet. Have looked extensively into some sort of booby trap deterrence from making some sort of pin cushion to fit behind the car door handle, to purpose built pepper spray modules with built in motion detectors, stand alone sprinkler heads with built in detectors (requires hosepipe hook up) etc. Checks all the cars in their driveways on the street (about 4 that I can see). Been about 6 times now, always around 4:30 am. Ever since installing the camera 180 degree on the garage door frame, captured what appears to be the same scumbag car door checker in the last year. Looking for ideas / solutions to get my security camera (Vivotek) to trigger via motion detection my sprinkler system (Rainbird WiFi).
