Features – The Mosquito Sound
The Mosquito is non-confrontational, non-harmful, and perfectly legal. The sound it emits won’t penetrate doors, walls, windows or fences, but it will be annoying enough to prevent people from gathering around your property, so you don’t have to worry about sacrificing your own comfort. It won’t affect people who just happen to be passing by either, so you won’t be upsetting the peace but rather regaining it.
The Mosquito has two main frequency settings – 16.8 KHZ commonly known as the ‘Teen’ setting can only be heard by people under around 25 years of age that are within the field of sound. 8KHz commonly known as the ‘All Age’ setting can be heard by people of all ages that are within the field of sound. This setting is most commonly used to deter ‘rough sleepers / homeless’.
Power requirements
The Mosquito is supplied with its own 5 meter long power cable. This power cable has a set of different plugs supplied with it. These plugs ‘clip’ in to the end of the power cable enabling users to use the Mosquito in any country. Simply select the plug that is correct for your country and snap it on to the end of the power cable, no tools required.
The Mosquito power cable also has a built-in transformer that converts either 240v AC or 110v AC to the 24v DC that it requires (similar to a mobile phone charger). This means it will work on any power system worldwide.
The power cable supplied is 5 meters long, if more length is required, the cable can be extend to a maximum of 50 meters if needed. Ensure that if the connection is outside, that a waterproof IP67 connector is used.
Mounting and Aiming
The mosquito is incredibly sturdy, manufactured from a cast Zinc alloy, however, it is worth installing it somewhere out of reach, if possible, as this can prevent people from attempting to pull it down. We recommend a height of at least 4–5 meters. Mounting at this height or above will also help the sound travel over objects while remaining out of reach.
When the Mosquito alarm emits sound, it travels in a cone shape that gets wider as it goes on, spreading at an angle of 60 degrees, so it’s worth bearing this in mind when you’re selecting the ideal spot to install it.
It is important to remember when installing the Mosquito that the sound will NOT pass through solid surfaces such as walls, windows, fences, dense hedges, canopies etc.
Triggering
Various additional triggering options are available for the Mosquito, however, with this kit, the Mosquito can be activated manually via the iOS or Android APP (supplied with the Mosquito and downloadable from the Apple Store or Google Play) on the users smart phone or by programming the built-in timer via a Bluetooth connection from the APP on the users smart phone.
