burglar alarm which
senses movement within a protected area and produces an ear splitting
noise.

quickly leave
the area. The alarm turns off after 7 seconds when no movement is
detected
and reverts to scan mode. Covers a range up to 450 Sq. Ft. Dark green
weatherproof case mounts on a stake unobtrusively in a flower bed or
border.
Only 6"H x 3"W x 2"D. Requires a 9 volt battery, or use of the AC
adapter
with 30' cord. Item #AA46103-00 Catwatch $99.95, Item #AA46103-01 AC
