In the serene expanse of rural living, peace and security often walk hand in hand. Mark S., a CallToU customer with a sprawling 3-acre property, discovered the perfect companion for his lifestyle — the CallToU Solar Alarm System. What began as a single unit for simple deterrence soon evolved into a network of six strategically placed alarms, protecting both his front and back yards with unwavering vigilance.

From One to Six: Expanding for Complete Coverage

Mark initially installed one CallToU solar alarm to keep nocturnal visitors—both four-legged and two-legged—away from his sheds and lawns. The results were swift and unmistakable. Gone were the mysterious holes in the grass and the subtle signs of nighttime trespassers. Encouraged by this early success, he expanded his setup, installing six alarms across his three-acre property. Each device now stands guard like a silent sentinel, ready to deter any unwanted movement before it becomes a problem.

Designed for Spacious Environments

For Mark, the key to success lay in the environment. The wide, open layout of his property allowed the alarms to perform at their best—no neighbors nearby to be startled by the sudden, thunderous deterrent tones. “It’s ideal where noise doesn’t affect a close neighbor,” he noted, emphasizing that these alarms thrive in rural or semi-rural spaces. Whether it’s the sharp bark of an intruder alert or the piercing “gunshot” mode designed to scare off wildlife, the sound is both commanding and effective.

A Nighttime Guardian

Mark uses his alarms primarily for night detection, when the property is most vulnerable. The solar-powered sensors awaken at dusk, scanning the darkened yard for motion. This automated vigilance provides him the peace of mind to rest easy, knowing that any movement—be it a raccoon or an uninvited guest—will be instantly confronted. With the alarms absorbing daylight energy, there’s no need to worry about battery replacements or power interruptions.

A Word of Caution and a Touch of Humor

While Mark’s experience is overwhelmingly positive, he does offer a word of caution. The CallToU solar alarm is not a toy—and its impressive volume can be startling in close-knit neighborhoods. “I’d caution against using it in a populated neighborhood,” he shared. His humor shines through in recalling a memorable incident: “Not sure how the delivery guy reacted when he activated the gunshot setting during a late delivery—LOL.”

The story encapsulates both the power and personality of CallToU’s design philosophy: serious protection with a practical, human touch.

Reliable Protection with a Rural Advantage

For homeowners like Mark, who value both independence and safety, the CallToU Solar Alarm delivers precisely what it promises—an intelligent, solar-powered defense system that works quietly until the moment it’s needed. With thoughtful placement and proper settings, it becomes an indispensable guardian for properties where space and solitude reign.

Whether deterring wildlife or discouraging unwanted visitors, the CallToU Solar Alarm stands as a dependable ally for those seeking peace of mind under the open sky.
