Tactiko Wire Trip Perimeter Alarm 2.0, 129 dB Rechargeable Perimeter – 80ft Kevlar Tripwire, Solar/USB, Weatherproof, Bear Deterrent for Camping, Property, Home Security (1 Pack)

Great alarm system, very easy to set up and multi use for camping, at your shop, for a pet barrier when training, lots of options. Priced very reasonable and shipping was on point. Reliable for all the right reasons

This is exactly what you need for security of your surroundings in your most vulnerable, sleeping. The build quality is exactly what you need. Plastic lightweight. The price for these units are what is to be expected unless you plan on doing the old string and cans perimeter. The loudness, a police siren is loud enough that you can't miss this in a camping environment. It's purpose is to warn. It's not to defend. So if you are expecting this to protect you ah you are sadly mistaken. You don't need some high technology to warn you of a possible threat at a camping site. Multiple ways to secure to a tree by zip tie or screw into the tree. Very simple and practical and bonus it's made in North Carolina. Worth the money and easy to deploy. Great product when it could be life or death. Bonus it has solar charging or plug charging. Best of both world's

So, I received my two pack of these tripwire alarms. As advertised, they are loud, and straightforward to set up and operate. The kevlar tripwire is very thin and strong, and the mechanism that lets it out for setup, and also reels it back in is clever, and intuitive. They each came with sufficient hardware to permanently install these- screws, drywall type inserts, and even some zip ties if you want to install without screws... But, here's something that's really baffling about these devices: the CHARGING PORT IS LOCATED ON THE BACK OF THE ALARM. Now, I suppose that perhaps the designer assumes that you'll only ever need to charge it once? But still, this is like designing a toilet stall, and mounting the toilet paper holder on the outside of the door to the toilet... The charging port has a nice, little rubber plug to presumably make it weather resistant- so why? I am still satisfied with these, but amused at how wrong this design is. Functionally, it's great until you might need to charge it- at which point you must uninstall it to do so. I suppose it would most often be unreasonable to reach it with its 30cm charging cord in situ; but still have to point and laugh at this. This has to be the silliest charging port ever.

I bought this trip wire alarm for extra security while camping, and it works exactly as advertised. The design is simple but very effective — loud enough to wake you up if anything crosses the line. It’s lightweight, packs small, and sets up quickly. I feel a lot safer knowing I’ll get an early warning if someone or something comes near my camp at night. Definitely a great piece of gear for anyone who values peace of mind outdoors.

Worst product I’ve ever attempted to use. First off, I opened the packaging to see deep gouges in the plastic where the magnet would rest. Second, the wire was jammed so tight it broke when I tried to extend it! Don’t get me wrong the sound of the alarm was great very loud about 100 decibels, seemed easy to mount, and is solar so no need to charge. Solar seemed to work very well, within 5 minutes of opening the solar panel began charging. I don’t know if this was a previously returned item that was sent to me but the wire did not unwind correctly at all in either of the units. Even the knot that was tied to the magnets slipped out on both. How disappointing. Sad it didn’t work though. I was very excited for it.

The item works as advertised. I would likely purchase it again, but there are things to consider. I bought it for bear security. The 80 feet of cord created a smaller area of security than I would have preferred. The lite wheight of the string made it prone to tangling easily if one is not careful. The position of the arming button and charging port requires you to be able to remove it from where it is mounted. This keeps others from being able to shut it off without knowledge of the device, but it is inconvenient to the user. Lastly, setup and take down of the string is a bit of a drag as you must manually release and later wind up the string. Still it works and I will continue to use it. For the price it was worth buying.

If you like to camp in the back country with the wildlife then you need this. It takes up very little space in your backpack. Lightweight, easy to setup, good quality and loud enough to potentially scare off any critters that may be lurking around your tent. If you’re looking to use it as a security measure around your house then I would say that it could be a little louder but it would probably still make someone leave in a hurry. Recharging is quick and easy.

Very loud but only one alarm sound is available instead of the two advertised, if there is a way to switch them it is not in the instructions. My main complaint is that there is no way to arm, disarm, or recharge it without unscrewing it from whatever you have attached it to, as you can imagine this would be a serious issue in the field. Ignoring the design and false advertising issues though it does work, very well. It is very loud and simple to use (in theory, see above). The size is just about right, but as I said the controls need to be moved to either the side or the front. Decent value for the money but again, you get what you pay for in terms of the clunky control placement.

Very plasticity and the cable didn't unwind easily. Also having to pay almost half in return fees is unacceptable as well.
