TECKNET

Standalone alarms and chimes, for the jobs that do not want a system

Three TECKNET products appear here, and they share a philosophy: no hub, no app, no account.

Where that is the right answer

A garage, a shed, a stockroom, a shop counter. Those places need a noise when somebody walks in, and a system with a hub and a subscription is overhead for a job that does not require it.

What TECKNET publishes that others do not

Figures. The TK-WA801 door alarm states the gap at which it triggers — 2 cm (0.8 in) — which is the specification that decides whether a contact sensor suits your window and which almost no listing in that family provides. The TK-WD010 states 8 m (26 ft) by 110° and adds that detection is direction dependent, which is the honest way to describe a PIR sensor.

That candour is the reason these products appear here rather than one of a dozen identical alternatives.

The limit of every standalone device

It makes a noise where it is. If nobody is there, nothing is recorded and nobody is told.

Every TECKNET product we have reviewed

  • Motion detectors

    TECKNET HHA01001WA01 indoor motion sensor alarm, 125 dB, 328 ft remote

    125 dB with strobe, switchable to 80 or 100 dB · 16–26 ft × 120°, rotating 360° · AAA cells OR USB-C continuous power, and USB-C does NOT recharge the cells · 2-minute siren then standby, the only duration here · remote works to 328 ft — that is the REMOTE range, not detection · no Wi-Fi and no app

    The only detector here that runs on USB-C indefinitely, and the only one that says what it does after the alarm starts.

    Best for: A garage, a van or a storeroom with a USB socket, where a two-minute 125 dB siren is the whole plan
