These Yale Wireless Shed Alarms, are they any use in a car/van?
Would there be a problem with it going off everytime a cloud goes over, or a gust of wind?
Id like something like this so someone will hear if the car gets broken into when Im out riding
alarm

It will work - they work on IR. I had an infra red remote one for the garage.

They are blooming loud - but most folk ignore alarms. It might just stop someone poking about in the car/van for long due to ringing ears.

I assume the car/van doesn't have one ? Usual advice of not having any valuables in the car applies.

Wouldn't that just go off (in a car) if someone walked past?  Might work in the back of a van with no windows I guess.

if its like the camera I have, shadows will set it off. Or mice, moths etc
If I bought one and put it in the shed with windows, and it goes off, then Id have to return it as its useless

... and then they'll totally ignore it, complaining "there's a bloody faulty car alarm going off again."
