Level 2 - Alarm Systems
Fitting an alarm system will not, of itself, prevent your caravan being attacked - however it will make a noise sufficient to dissuade the thief from continuing his attack on your caravan.  The Farsite Alarm Systems are designed to enable you to add a sensor to the door and as many windows and lockers as you think appropriate.  Therefore, using our alarm system the siren will operate as soon as a door or window is opened BEFORE the thief enters the caravan.  Systems using a PIR only will not sound an alarm until the thief is inside the caravan and detected by the PIR sensor.  The least responsive of all are the 360° PIR sensors fitted into the ceiling of a caravan.  They have a very small footprint which the thief can avoid entirely.

Level 3 - Tracking Systems
Tracking systems only operate after the caravan has been moved outside a certain radius of its known location.    Response varies from nothing to full police alert.  Some tracking systems will do nothing until you activate the device either by calling the call centre or using a mobile phone.  By the time you are aware that the caravan has been stolen it can have left the country.  Other systems will send a text message to selected mobile phones.  They are generally cheaper to own, but rely on you keeping your mobile switched on, within earshot and in a good reception area.  The top of the range systems operate as soon as the vehicle moves, the control centre will contact the police and the owner simultaneously, effectively returning the vehicle to its owner, hopefully before too much damage is done to vehicle or contents.

Ultimately the level of protection is the choice of the owner.  Any one system alone is unlikely to be enough.
