Remote scare deployment- Part 2

OK. So now we can create sound. How can it be activated at the proper time? Well one way would be identical to that used for the prop drops (see first post from today) namely just turn it on when we can see guests entering the area since we have the cameras. The other method we use is remote sensors. As I mentioned earlier, the ONLY sensor that works reliably in the dark is PRESSURE. Shown here is what's known as a mat sensor. This is the standard size I use which is 18" x 24". What I do is place it under a rug where it can't be seen. As soon as someone steps on it, the pressure transducers inside the mat create an electrical signal that can trigger just about anything. The adaptor wire shown here plugs directly into the sound board shown in the last post and that triggers the sound! See the video demo below. Mat sensors are a good investment for a haunt. Here is one good source. These have been rock solid reliable for 3 years now.
