Wild Planet Tri Link Alarm System

by Electronics

They will be ready to catch a thief with this set of three linked high-tech traps by Wild Planet, called the spy Gear Tri-Link Alarm System. One trap can be set on top of your valuables; if it’s moved, it sounds the alarm and flashes to startle thieves. Another trap is a motion detector that will fire two darts if triggered. The third trap is a laser tripwire that will set off a loud siren to catch the thief in their tracks. Includes three traps, six darts and two alarms. Requires 7 “AAA” batteries, not included. Measures 2″ x 11.5″ x 5.5″.

I wish this thing would break but it is built too well. I have been ambushed so many times I have become shell shocked; when I hear the alarm go off I know a couple of missiles are headed my way. My son loves the toy and keeps thinking of new ways to use it. I am planning to order more sets to give to my nephews as Christmas gifts.

What a neat idea! Spy Gear has some great ideas, the room alarm being one of them. However, the room alarm seems to work sporadically. Sometimes it does what it’s supposed to do, other times it does not. My son loves to try to catch us with the alarm. I wish the motion sensor worked a little better so that it could pick you up from a further distance. I thought the alarm worked good enough to not send it back. (Like I did with the Spy Car I purchased with the Spy Alarm for my son’s birthday.)

if you’re getting it for a kiddo who want’s to set up an alarm on their room, it’s great. well designed, a lil touchy on the response but great for the money. if you’re going to hack it or use it for other purposes, read on.

the description is a little unclear. it’s actually a three part system, relying on three IR motion sensors. part A will sound an alarm and klaxon, and “arm” parts B and C which will either shoot darts or sound another klaxon if they detect motion. B and C are independent of each other, but will not function until A has gone off.
