What an external siren does
An external siren is the visible, audible part of an intruder alarm. Fitted to a wall on the outside of a building, it sounds when the system is triggered to draw attention to a break-in, and its presence on the wall helps deter intruders before anything happens. It is the part of the system neighbours and passers-by notice, so siting it where it can be seen and heard matters.
The options here
Both sirens in this range use a weatherproof housing made for outdoor mounting, so they stand up to the conditions a wall-mounted device meets through the seasons. One is solar powered and runs wirelessly, with no mains run to bring out to it, which keeps the fitting work down. The other is a wired model that takes a mains feed and connects into the building's wiring. The choice comes down to how you can route power to the fixing point you have in mind.
Who each suits
The solar-powered, wireless siren suits positions where running a cable out to the wall would be difficult, since it needs no mains feed and can sit where cable would be hard to reach. The wired model suits a fixing point you can reach with a mains connection, where a steady supply is straightforward to bring out. Both are intended for outdoor use as part of a wider alarm system, working alongside the hub and sensors that detect a break-in.
How to choose
Look first at where the siren will go and how power can reach it. If a cable run to that point is awkward, the solar-powered wireless model avoids it; if you have a mains feed available, the wired model uses it. Then check the fixing point gives the siren a clear, visible position on the building. Free UK delivery over GBP 99, worldwide shipping.
