Neighbour's car alarm beeping...

[agw_01]

Hmm, hadn't considered that. Didn't think the tamper mechanism would work the other way.

I don't like the idea of messing with another man's car, but its 12.34 and it's still going off with the threat of getting worse when the battery gets to a critical level. We have work tomorrow, and it's not even the neighbour's car (like it makes a difference at this point) so our collective patience is starting to wear a little thin.

When the battery went flat on one of my cars, I connected the jump leads to my other car and as the alarm was in a last armed state, it went into tamper mode and set the alarm off. The same thing happened when I removed one of the battery terminals. The battery backup in the siren knew that the alarm was armed and when removing the battery lead broke the circuit, it set the alarm off.

I'm surprised it's been beeping to indicate a low battery though, most will stay quiet until completely dead. It may be a proximity sensor or something like that being triggered. I take it just's one beep every now and then?

I sympathise with the noise though. Things like that really do annoy me.

Do you know any minorities? They'll be able to pop the bonnet and kill the alarm brain before you know what's happened

Fixed

Go sit in your car and honk the horn whenever the other car beeps.

When you hear the sirens approaching.. leg it, and hope they confuse your car with the neighbours.

If the alarm is intelligent enough to know when the battery is discharging, giving it a boost or disconnecting the battery will most likely make it go into tamper mode.

I'd leave it alone. If you were messing about with my car, I'd be less than impressed.

Neighbour should have thought about other people and charged the battery if he didn't want people messing with his car.

Break open the bonnet and pee on the battery

Smash the windows and blame it on the protesting students

What an excellent suggestion.

Did you manage to sleep? Or did the alarm time out in the end?

A very bleary eyed "morning" to you all from 24 towers. Alarm went off until about 2, by which point I'd drunk a bottle of red so I was out like a light. Alas some douchebag at work confused one system for another and I got called out at 4am, for something that wasn't mine.

Not a good night's sleep all in all.
