Can I place 2 of those inside a car port and turn on? Car port is made out of full height tarp type fabric. Wind moves it slightly. Entry flaps clap.

My experience with these was not good, but I had them outside in the elements - mind you I installed it in summer time when the weather was mild. Within a few days the alarm would go off for no reason - maybe the wind was moving a branch or something. But within about 2 weeks the alarm went off for no discernable reason and it simply would not shut off until I took the battery out. From then on, if I put the battery back in, the alarm was on. Maybe I got a bad one. I would think that if the wind is moving the sides of your cover, you are going to get false alarms.

I'm afraid your Motion Sensor is exactly what it is - senses Motion and even wind... so, it will go off every time a motion is beyond a minimum detectable sensitivity.Best is to buy one, then set it up and see... if it is satisfactory enough, get the second one. If not, use it somewhere else, like checking for racoons/cats/possums going alongside house. It will go off, and scare the animal too. maybe will not come by that way again... hope this helped.

I sometimes hear false chimes -- ours is set to door chime mode -- but am not sure what triggers them. I believe this looks for warm bodies that move, not just movement of anything.

The activation range of these sensors is limited, four to five feet. I have one in my garage by a window in the case of someone breaking and entering through this window. It sits on a shelf facing the window which is fully covered by drapes. The distance between the sensor and the drapes is under three feet. Anyone entering thru this side window will activate this alarm. I tried mounting it high on a wall about seven feet away from the window to prevent an intruder from disabling it. The alarm would not activate at that distance. I ran everything in front of it short of an Elephant, this gizmo would not not go into alarm mode. This is why I had to place it on a lower shelf facing the window. I don't believe the flaps on your entry will set them off if they are at least fout feet away, at the same token an intruder will have to pass within the three to four foot range to activate them, which gives the intruder the opportunity to grab and deactivate them. The y have a very limited range, certainly less tha advertised.

You need an extension cord. Set the unit on the floor of the car, turn on the car and run the heater or a/c to provide duct exposure, plug in the unit and let it run a few hours. It didn't damage my rubber, plastics, leather or fabrics.

If you mean the port that you plug electrical things into, then yes. Just don't plug it into the cigarette port. I hope this helps considering I can't determine exactly what a "car charger port thing" is and what you're looking at.

your car comes with 2 premade spots/holes for this so you can only use 2. unless you are thinking about making new holes in your car.

My cover was very big for my Camry, so I bought Amazon's heavy duty bungee cords (pack of 6 under $12). I, too, worry about winds here in Florida especially during hurricane season. The cord that came with the cover is underneath, lenghtwise, between the back & front fenders. The cover is tucked into the wheel wells leaving the tires exposed, then two bungee cords around the trunk back and top (attached to wheel wells) and two over the engine, again attached to wheel wells. Then one under the middle width of the car. We've had a couple of very windy days here recently and the cover has held just fine. I hope this answers your question.

No, it can not. After looking over the car I found no seals and that water could easily get into the car. But it works wonders on land!

I have only used this product for my marine batteries on a per need basis. Not sure about the application you ask about. However, thinking about this, I don't think the panel inside the car is an option. I suppose you could attach the panel from under the car or under the hood, but the panel will have have to be exposed to the elements in some manner.

I don't have a usb port in my car to test it for you. So sorry. But, honestly, I don't see why you couldn't. Perhaps you could contact one of the sellers of this product to get that answer (which, but the way, it is a good question). Wish I could have been more helpful.

although it is super water and oil resistant it is not typically a plug you'd use for "water conditions." To me, it's more about where it plugs in- at those two connection points will water have the opportunity to get between both contacts? If it does then you need to change conditions. its not water tight connectors it is the "covering" they are suggesting that is. So if the car were 10 feet away under a carport and both ends were shielded from direct rain i'd be most likely ok with it- but exposed on both ends- I'd suggest being careful and not using it that way.

No it does not. We have it under our car port. Because of that shade was not a problem for us. However if you have no shade I can see it would be a very important issue.

I use this same item but it's under my carport. I don't think I would want to subject it to heavy rain such as we have here in south Louisiana. Fabricate some sort of rain shield.

You can thread a strong metal cable under the car and through the two middle holes and secure it with a lock. If it's a snug fit at front and back it will be reasonably secure.

No. It cannot. However, u can get car converter and use it in the car. That's what I did during Sandy storm. Hope this helps

Yes, It works very well. The new cars call them power ports but you could put a cigarette lighter in them. Car manufactures don't put cigarette lighters in them any more claiming that hardly anyone smokes in a car anymore. However I believe that they do it to save money buy not supplying the lighter cartridge.

May be you can find a spot under the hood of your car. That you can tie a sock to a area that is out of the way of heat and engine area. You should ask someone who brought this product for their vehicle. Check some more of the reviews I did see a few customer who did buy for their vehicle. Good luck with your search.

I personaly think you should have two in your car if you want it to be better and get a bigger ported box
