Larry Alert
Snowbirds & RV Travelers
Have you ever felt a little nervous leaving your truck or campsite while you head out to shop or see the sights? I sure have. You lock it up as good as you can and hope for the best. Or, you get hold of a Larry Alert. This small portable device packs big piece of mind when it comes to securing items and areas that are hard to protect like a bike, 4x4, pick-up with tools and gear in the bed, or an RV/tent campsite. Packed into this device are a microwave (radar) motion sensor, camera with flash, and a speaker. And just like the man says, there’s an app for that. Download the Larry Alert app to your smart phone and you can remotely control and access the device.
There are no monthly fees. This isn’t like buying into a home security service. Just turn the Larry Alert on, select the size of the area you need to cover (small, medium or large) from your phone, point the Larry Alert at the area you want to cover, and arm the device. If it detects motion in your protected area it sounds an alarm, then takes and records either a single image or a set of 15 to the included 8Gb microSD card. If you are within roughly 45 m (150’) it notifies you immediately using its embedded Wi-Fi technology. You can check the photo to see if it was someone suspicious or just a stray dog, then you can stream a voice message (like “Hey, step away from my camp site, I’m on my way back”). If you’re farther than 45 metres, it lets you know as soon as you return to within 45 metres and you can view the images then.
You can mount the rugged weatherproof unit via the included suction cup to any smooth surface like a window, or via a strap to a nearby tree or post, securing it with the included flexible cable lock.
