Security Alarms for Homes
Hola Ken,
In the past we've used Alerta in Santiago. Guy called Juan Castillo. Don't know how valid this contact number is ... Cell: 707 0582 Tel: 583 6900 - 582 5075
Only problem we've had is that they are a bit far from Cabarete.

Got mine in Santiago
Not too techy, not too expensive - Radio Shack have a good line in wireless, install it yourself stuff. I put it in my garage in an afternoon. They go right up to video camera stuff so you should find a good package. - Don't forget to haggle over the price. We got a huge reduction when we asked nicely.

Where? Santo Domingo? Do you recall which store it was?
Thanks.
Is it Radio Shack?
Can't remember now - mind's gone DR - You know, it's the shop in the International Plaza in Santiago that sells electrical stuff.

alarms in Sosua
Don't know what the store is called or the name of the plaza, but head out of Sosua towards Cabarete....it's the plaza before the Carwash, next to the Puerta/Ventana store is a German run electronics store.
They sell all sorts of alarms (windows/doors/whole house)along with inverters and wind turbine thingys.
Was in there today....no idea of prices as I didn't ask.
Take your German phrasebook with you!!

Inverters and Motion Detector Lights
My automatic Infra Red (motion detector) lights sometimes fail to function on the inverter -- or they switch to a floodlight program (permanently on) when a peak load arises, say, if the refrigerator and the water pump both start at the same time. Has anyone found a brand of IR lights which work well with all inverters, or an inverter that works well with all IR lights?

Alarm systems.
About 10 years ago in the States I bought an alarm that can't be topped!
It's a tape recording of an attack dog in a plastic box about 8"x6"x6". It "sees" through a reinforced concrete wall. Adjustable sensitivity, Dog reacts (barks) at any moving object. Battery or 110V with transformer. The closer the movement, the louder and more agitated is the bark. No need to feed, walk or take this dog to the vet! It never sleeps...I don't remember which store, believe it was in an alarm systems one. Cost me $110US. Nobody breaks in when they hear this dog. Canadian Bob.

Sounds great, CB. Do you have information on a source?

I will definitely try to locate a seller of this dog alarm & when I do, will post it. Canadian Bob.

Chester, you were going to post details re the security store between Sosua and Cabarete. Did you check it out?
I'm wondering exactly where it is located? Is it in that mall outside Sosua were CeduComp has a computer store?
