Saw this budget security device on Dragons Den https://vanguardian.co.uk/ & they didn't invest but thought it may be the one that got away?! As always it is just another deterrent but prices quoted were £100-£200 (plus VAT) so the price point may make it worth a look? False alarms & with it being stuck on would be a concern bodywork wise if wanted to remove it, are the questions that spring to mind. The VanGuardian website crashed tonight after the tv show (can't get in atm) & lots of excited talk on Facebook about using it for other applications not just vans. Has anyone got one or seen it in action?

Many variations on the market, biggest problem is where can you use it?

OK presumably OK in the middle of a field, other than spending the night as a nervous wreck twitching the blinds every time a badger or fox meanders by!

Think the wildlife would only set it off if they bumped into the van?! 🦊 🦡
It uses, at its core, highly responsive tri axial accelerometers to detect minimal contact, and with highly efficient microchip technology we are able to program it to ignore the rocking from strong wind. Each unit has seven levels of ‘fine tune’ sensitivity for the end user to adjust, to tackle individual levels of exposure and the worst of heavy rain conditions to eliminate false alarms.

To answer my other concern - reading the full FAQ at bottom of this page https://vanguardian.co.uk/ it should be possible to remove it without harm to paint or bodywork - it does destroy the base plate but spares available & affordable so can be transferred to another vehicle. Again hoping that someone has tried this out - maybe on a works van?
 
Again, it’s not new technology

if they’ve fine tune it to ignore rain imagine sitting in your camper, terrified move for fear of setting the ’pipping off’ lol

Drop the Gin bottle and that would be it 😁
 

Under 15 quid, 130dB, which is considerably louder than 110dB

Just remembered I bought one of these for my last bike

My opinion... If you are going to fit any alarm fit a full blown system not a cheap gimmick like this.

If you want to spend £200 look at getting deadlocks fitted if you haven't already got them.
Invest in a pedal box.
Invest in a safe for your money and rolex.
 
Similar on Ali express from around £2 including delivery from China, say no more!
