Damn kids keep hopping my fence....
I heard there was a simple security system I could install:
A control box with a wire travelling around the fence (attached with zip ties)
and returning to the box it also has a ground wire from the box to the ground.
Does anyone know how this works?

Hi, That might save your fence .... but I bet your windows will need some rework afterwards

No windows,just a fence.
C'mon ANYBODY?
PM or a post would help greatly.

I'm not big into that particular type of system, but I am a techno-nerd. Sounds like a normally closed loop where any break in the wire would trigger an event to occur (alarm, camera, dial out, etc.). Since the wire is zip tied to the fence, and the wind could easily move the wire, I wouldn't think it would be any type of tamper wire affected by minor movement. Test it and see what happens next time.

Good luck with those kids...

Sounds like a garden-variety electric fence to me. Usually you place the wire inside insulators (as opposed to tie-wraps). Touch the wire.. get a shock. Ever tried pissing on an electric fence?? heh heh..

Check with your local Farmer's Mutual exchange (Cooperative, etc.) have fun.

The wire is insulated(rubber/plastic coating) I touched it nuthin' happened.
Next time I'll try pissing on it

Do you have a road anywhere near your fence? Perhaps the wire could be a big metal detector that can sense large masses of metal parking near the fence?

I'm sure it's a demo model you're looking at. Maybe you can go up to the control box and tug on the wire to see if it's there to detect someone crashing through the fence? Or cutting through the fence?

From the location it's doubtfull...if someone cut through the fence they could easily move the wire as it's only ziptied in place..
???
this is driving me a little batty.

I bet those darn kids will just pull the fence up and slide underneath. Pesky little brats, I tell you.

If it weren't for the cement base I'm sure they would!
Infact there's extra fence on the bottom too!
...Little bastards!

How about big bales of barbed wire just over the fence that they'll fall onto

I'll keep that in mind thanks.

plant some nice thorny shrubs all the way around the inside of the fence.

The kids I know wouldn't Blinc at that.
Oh well ...we'll see what happens....Fuckit!

It could be a wire that would indicate that it had been deformed or overheated by the inner conductor touching the outer sheath causing a closed circuit or the inner insulating material breaking down in extreme heat. It is typically uninsulated tho.

For more info on your proposed installation you could look for Fenwall or Kidde on your box.

 

Interesting! hadn't thought of that.
Thanks

Tree... Knock Knock Is anybody home???

Wakey Wakey pal. Read the first post keeping in mind what it is that we do...

huh mate?? its werry informative in case you buy an objects only to BASE and want to keep all other people out

Tree, why do you always have to be dissing people and trying to find fault in people? You were so busy trying to find fault in FIREFLYR that you totally missed it. Whats up with the security_dork.net bit? Seriously dude, why dont you chill the freak out and quit being such a Nancy Negative.

I agree with you Johnny.....this is valid thread and Tree's personal attacks are a bit harsh at times. Everyone take a deep breath and smile!!!

It's really my own fault, With my Jedi like stealth I go undetected.
