Steps to Install Your Wireless Barking Dog Alarm

Install your wireless barking dog alarm quickly with these steps.

Start by placing the sound and light receiver inside your home near doorways or windows.

Next, mount the PIR motion sensor outside at a height that will detect people but not small animals.

Put AAA batteries in the sensor unit and AA batteries in the receiver – make sure the + and – match up correctly.

Connect both devices by turning the letter and number dials to match each other.

Use the mounting hardware that came with your alarm to attach everything securely.

Walk through the area where you want the alarm to detect movement to test it out. You can adjust how sensitive the system is until it works just right.

Follow these steps and your alarm will keep working reliably.

Equipment and Components Required

The wireless barking dog alarm system uses two main parts: a motion sensor that sends signals and a unit that makes sounds and lights. You need AAA-LR03 batteries for the motion sensor and AA-LR06 batteries for the sound unit to work.

The alarm makes a loud 110 dB sound to scare away intruders, and you can adjust how loud it gets. The basic kit comes with three screws, a small screwdriver, sticky tape, and parts to mount the motion sensor, including a base and covers.

If you want to build your own system, you'll need extra parts. These include a Raspberry Pi or Arduino Nano to control everything, wireless parts to send signals, speakers to make sound, and a motion sensor to detect movement.

You'll also need to get a barking dog sound file and add some computer programs like RC Switch and Wiring Pi.

You can make your system work even better with some extra parts. An antenna will help the signal reach farther, and a remote control makes it easier to turn the system on and off.

Hardware Setup and Positioning

Install the sound and light receiver indoors on a shelf or mount it to the wall near entry points like doors or windows. The receiver's motion detection system can reach up to 50 feet away, so you'll want to place it carefully for the best security coverage.

You can customize how wide an area the PIR sensor detects by using removable covers – it detects 110° without covers, 80° with one cover, or 30° with two covers. This lets you adjust the coverage area to fit your needs.

To stop false alarms from small animals, focus on how high you place the PIR sensor. Since it detects movement in a 15° angle up and down, mount it at a height and angle that won't pick up pets or wildlife.

Double-check that you've connected everything properly and secured all parts firmly to their mounting spots so the system works its best.

Power and Wiring Connections

Your wireless barking dog alarm system needs proper power connections to work well. Let's connect both the transmitter and receiver correctly.

For the transmitter with an Arduino Nano, you'll need a 5V power supply. Connect the PIR sensor this way:

• VCC wire to 5V
• GND wire to ground
• Out wire to D2 pin

You can power the receiver in two ways:

1. Using a USB cable
2. Using three AA 1.5V alkaline batteries

When you set up the S SELDORAUK TL-850, make sure you:

• Put AAA-LR03 batteries in the sensor unit
• Put AA-LR06 batteries in the receiver
• Check the + and – signs match when putting in batteries

Check all your connections before turning on the system. This helps avoid false alarms and connection problems.

System Configuration and Testing

Set up and test your wireless barking dog alarm system after securing the power connections. First, sync your PIR sensor with the receiver by matching the letters and numbers on the dials of both devices. This step ensures your dog barking alarm components work together properly.

The system offers 360-degree coverage when you set the right sensitivity levels.

Now, mount your motion sensor. Place it outside in a protected spot using screws or strong double-sided tape. You can adjust how wide an area it watches by using the removable covers – pick between 110°, 80°, or 30° based on what you need to monitor.

To test your system, walk through the area the sensor watches. You should hear your dog barking sound or chosen alarm from the receiver right away. If you don't hear anything, check that you matched the sync settings correctly and put fresh batteries in both devices.

Walk through different parts of the monitored area several times to make sure the sensor catches movement everywhere. If you find spots where it doesn't work well, try moving the sensor or changing its angle.

Fine-Tuning Detection Settings

Adjusting your detection settings helps prevent false alarms while keeping your space secure. The PIR sensor has removable covers that help you control the detection angle – you can set it to 110°, 80°, or 30° based on how much area you want to cover. Set the vertical detection angle to about 15° to stop small animals from triggering alerts.

To get the best motion detection, adjust the sensitivity settings based on weather conditions like fog, rain, snow, and wind. Make sure you keep your sensor away from direct sunlight and moisture since these can make it less accurate. Start by setting the sensitivity to medium, then adjust it slowly until you find the right balance between reliable detection and avoiding false alarms. After each adjustment, test the system to make sure it works the way you want while maintaining security.
