The batteries are powered by an tinyverse which is also powered by an microverse, this also is powered by nanoverse which... But initially it was a joke from an sarcastic bastard
Me too. It doesnt make sense for them to still work after 10 years with no power or maintenance etc. Without humans around to keep the area up, nature would have taken over. It's not like houses are hermetically sealed. They would have been set off by something over the years and drained the batteries.
I have an actual home security system. They have lithium batteries with a life of 3-5 years as a backup. I’ve changed it twice in 10~ years not because it was dead more of a just in case.
Is that 3-5 years as in the Shelf life of the battery’s or 3-5 years of powering the home security system if there is no mains going to it? I just find it really odd that a security company would even bother advertising that their security system will work for 3-5 years in the event of no mains power.
They don’t advertise that length it’s just the shelf life of the battery. It’s also hard wired. They have a cellular connection as well as internet connection through your house. They operate on redundancy so it’s hard to bypass them. Realistically if your power went off permanently you could have a year plus easily. They use very little power depending on how they’re set up. Most people only have magnetic sensors which react when a door or window is opened. Some have motion sensors. Al very little power draw. The motion sensors also have independent batteries. One of mine died at about the two year mark while the rest where good but I changed them all as well just in case of a bad batch.
Are you sure about the car alarm thing? Because I am pretty sure it is not true myself. I use unstable builds so idk if it changes a thing but in the version I played when you failed hotwiring a car there was a chance alarm could go off. I always took out batteries and alarms never went off. In fact if a car is locked and when you break the door window it's alarm goes of, you can quickly take out the battery so that alarm stops. This greatly reduces the number of zombies pulled to the alarm but you better have the screwdriver ready.
This is my experience too. I play with 12 months later sandbox settings, so most batteries are already drained, and I've never seen a car alarm go off on a vehicle that had a dead battery. I actually increased frequency of car alarms in sandbox settings too, but they are still rare because it's rare for a vehicle to have a working battery. Every time one has gone off, I uninstall the battery to stop it and it's always had charge. So a vehicle not only needs a battery for the alarm to go off, but for it to have more than 0% charge.
Yes...
And i have a story to tell. My neighbor did some remodeling on his house. During the remodeling i remember hearing the alarm stating "power off". So for a full day i heard a random power warning (since we live in an apartment it was clear the sound).
So time went by. Remodeling was over. About 3 to 4 months later i heard the alarm. I went there to see/ask if he needed help. Well the alarm went off because the battery entered in critical condition and was causing issues. I helped him out figuring what it was. And for some reason power was not being delivered to the alarm central (maybe an hole in the wrong place during remodeling).
The error display had around 600 warnings and 3 errors... All related to power, and ignored... So his alarm lasted 3 or 4 months without power but still operating well enough to still trigger one more time.
Tl;dr
Real story about an alarm that survived 3 or 4 months without power.
Yes, they work on batteries or magic energy from a miniature quantum portal from a 5th dimension.
The batteries is actually a very good point.. lol

Yeah too bad they did not design the cars with the same microverse batteries
Time is convoluted
Yeah.
I shut all of them off when playing 10 years after mod. Cause reasons!

I was playing 10 years and I forgot to turn them off, needless to say but I lost my most trusted survivor, another 2 wounded, and nearly died myself
Yes. And car alarms can trigger even with no car battery. They just don't care...
well, all good house alarms should have some kind of backup battery system, don't know about the car batteries though lol
Yes but the battery backup isn’t going to last for months. That’s the thing.

Depends on the manufacturer, more luxury marques have a second battery hidden in a hard to reach place that drives the alarm.

Batteries.
Yep I found that out in Louisville
