I had one of these Dual zone perimeter protection alarms on one of my 
cars, the kind where you get close to it it chirps and if you stuck 
your hand through the window the car alarm went off. The biggest 
problem was temperature change, the hotter it got the bigger the area 
it protected and when it got cold the area it protected shrunk so small 
you actually had to almost put your hand on the glass to activate the 
chirp. This really didnt matter too much because the car got stored for 
the winter months, notice i did say it didnt matter too much.

The worst part was when people would walk past the car on a really hot 
day and activate the chirp, they were not even close to the car 
sometimes. And dont even park near a tree with low branches because 
this also set it off. It was a continuous battle getting the perimeter 
protection fine tuned. Also you couldnt leave the car packed with 
anything because this interfered with the protection.

I just posted this so others can know the downfall of this type of 
protection.
