There has been a rash across the country of people getting thier catalytic converters stolen for the precious metals housed inside. There were over a half dozen in my town alone- this morning. A theft can happen in as little as five minutes with a team of two people. Is there any physical protection you can provide the underbelly of your car to prevent someone from hacking away at the components?
medium action ugly stick and a shimano fx 3000 or xt 300 spinning set up is my preference. approximate cost $45-$55
The only difference would be is that the pool door would have a Reed switch on it (otherwise known as a mag, which is a magnet that when it's not connected it would signal to a control room or to a mobile phone) and the home alarm system would have a series of zones with different types of alarms (PIR, MAG's, etc) If it's monitored it probably means that the pool door would signal as a higher priority than a movement sensor. I'm assuming another difference would be that the Pool door would be silent, whereas the house alarms would have a strobe and siren. They are pretty much the same thing though, it just depends on whether your house alarms are monitored or not - if they aren't the difference would be that the pool door would definitely be monitored otherwise it would serve little purpose. On top of that - the pool door alarm would be armed 24 hrs - unless disarmed by a master code for use of the pool. The house alarms would be turned on and off all the time.
