Security - alarm and GPS tracker

zubair · 15-06-2019 12:09pm #1

So my Oxford alpha alarm lock has given up the ghost after only 5 months. Can't be bothered with following up on the warranty as postage costs would probably give me a heart attack. (I wouldn't recommend it based on this)

So here's the question, has anyone ever bought the basic 2 wire self install motion alarms on eBay or Amazon. I'm also looking at the cheap self install GPS options too and plan to install both. I know there are lots of professional kits out there but I'm a cheap skate. Would be good to get some recommendations on any of the cheaper alternatives

Ya have one in mine three years. Make sure get one with battery included. Battery charges when bikes running

Handy to install and put your own SIM top up every few months .

Tk104 is the one I have.

Just on posting back.
If you paid with PayPal they will pay up to €30 on returns on 6 items a year.

This is brilliant news and thanks for the recommendation too.

You need to sign up for it though and even if something costs more than 30 to send back they cover the 30 and you pay the rest.
Came in handy for a leather jacket I had to send back which would have cost me 45 only for PayPal refund.

Any chance you have a link blade, getting a few results with the tk104 and the description doesn't indicate they can be wired to the battery.

Listermint is your man for the tk104

Not wired to the battery . It had an internal battery.

Don't buy a tracker without its own battery .

Wire it so that it charges up when ignition on.
