STI Rex Plus Electronic Watchdog
Barking Dog Alarm Helps Deter Burglars
In addition to the sound of a ferocious attack dog, Rex Plus offers the sounds of the rainforest. Choose the sound that suits you best: the continual sounds of the rainforest, or the option that allows you to use the rainforest sounds as an annunciator; the angry barking dog (for 15-20 seconds) followed by the sound of a siren or the angry barking dog that gets louder and more frequent as the intruder gets closer. Rex Plus is versatile and provides an excellent way to deter burglars, without the annoying problems of owning a real dog. With his electronic radar eyes, Rex Plus can 'see' through thick doors, walls and glass.
How Rex Plus Works
Once Rex's cord is plugged into any standard 110 VAC electrical outlet, he’ll stay on duty around the clock.
Why Rex is the Right Choice for Protection
- Reliable 24 hour protection
- Volume control, maintenance free
- Very realistic - the closer an intruder gets, the more frequent the barking
- Variable distance sensitivity (up to 30 feet), senses movement through walls, doors and glass
- Plugs into standard 110 VAC electrical outlet, 12 VDC, 100mA
- Four sounds: continuous rainforest, barking dog, rainforest announcing visitor, barking dog/alarm
- Perfect for public and private buildings
When Rex detects movement he emits the ferocious barking sounds of a large, unhappy attack dog
Detection Efficiency
Rex Plus' radar waves can detect intruders through a wide variety of materials with varying levels of efficiency. The below will serve as a guide:
- Glass - slight reduction in range
- Wooden doors - slight reduction in range
- Plaster walls - medium reduction in range
- Metal - heavy reduction in range
Barking Watchdog Alarm
The closer an intruder gets, the more frequent the barking
Perfect for public and private buildings, Rex Plus Electronic Watchdog sounds like a ferocious attack dog, but without the maintenance. Rex Plus is versatile and provides an excellent way to deter burglars. With his electronic radar eyes, he 'sees' through thick doors, walls and glass.
Simply plug his cord into any standard 110 VAC electrical outlet, and he will stay on duty around the clock. No feeding, no walks and no naps while on guard.

Customers are mixed about the sound quality of the surveillance system. Some mention that the bark sound is very realistic, and the volume of bark is perfect. They also say that the sound is menacing and convincing when it is only somewhat audible from outside.

"...We're still working on it though. Baritone bark is very impressive!..." Read more
"...you hear buzzing due to this engineering failure, and it lets you know the dog is fake...." Read more

"...As for the sensors, they are top notch though and work through aluminum framed doors extremely well...." Read more
"...This device could hardly detect anything through my walls...." Read more
"...It seems to be able to detect you through the walls.Or it woofs intermittently to give the impression there’s a real dog inside...." Read more

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
There are two versions of "Rex," but I can't remember which is the original version. Regardless, I prefer this version, as "Rex" sounds like an actual German Shepherd (the other version sounds muffled)! "Rex" sounds so real, my alarm once went off in the middle of the night, triggering the police. They actually thought I had a good "guard dog" until I showed them who or better what was barking at them! Neither of them had ever seen an electronic guard dog before so they were amazed!
So if you want the effects of a "guard dog" but you don't want to deal with shedding or spend money on food, grooming, vet bills, etc., this is the one for you! "Rex" notifies you of a threat in REAL time, unlike the Ring Camera which has a delay! The range is also amazing. "Rex" detects motion up to 26 feet and it is also very sensitive, which you can adjust. But this goes both ways, as "Rex" will bark at you too! So I have my "sensitivity" level kind of on the low side because when I first installed it, "Rex" was barking at us on the second level! You can play around with the range! The other "Rex" I have in front of my slider door was barking at the coyotes in the outfield, so I, too, had to turn that sensitivity range down so it only detects motion in my backyard.
Though I've recently purchased a real guard dog (who destroyed one of "Rex's" cords), I will continue to utilize "Rex," as I have it in front of multiple doors, making my dog's job easier.
I recommend purchasing this especially if you are a single parent or you live alone. Rex gives you enough time to prepare for an intruder, however that looks on your end!
I'm adding some updated information. The most recent one of these I purchased is not nearly as good as the original ones. The dog barking has a mechanical bark, that sounds like a bored recording. The original ones used to scare me when I walked in front of it and I knew it was there and was a recording. They were aggressive and nerve wracking. The perfect watch dog. No one is going to believe the one I just received any more than they believe they're in the rain forest or other sounds it makes. I'm very disappointed and wish I hadn't given my others away thinking I could replace them. I may just return it. It's a waste.

1. With all the sensitivity and volume control adjusted as per the manufacturer, there is a bark or more over the night for no motion in the area. I was waken up almost envy night for no motion in the area.
2. The sensitivity works all around the product, so the information provided by the manufacturer in the "General Performance" are accurate. I believe that the 2.4GH frequency of operation for this device is influenced in a bad way by the 2.4GH frequency of the wifi in my home. I believe that this is the biggest issue for the product.
3. The device is suggested to face the outside area, which I followed, however, the device picks up any motion inside the house, which I do not want.
4. Be careful where you purchase this product, do your homework and understand the return policy, you do not want to find yourself in a situation that you purchased the equipment, it is not working for you, want to return it for full refund and the seller will inform you that this product can not be returned for full or any refund!
Overall this is a great idea, with a lot of potential for residential use, however it needs more work to be a great product. Here are a few of my suggestions:
1. To be able to turn on and off this device from an app, that will help. With the present configuration, if the equipment is ON, it will sens motion when you are getting close to it to turn it off and the barking will start very ferocious, What I've done to eliminate this problem, I purchased one app controlled outlet which I can turn it on and/or off from my smart phone, this to eliminate the unnecessary barking and wakeup the entire home...
2. Back to the app, if this would be possible to also adjust the volume and the sensitivity from the app, that will also help. Keep the volume and sensitivity controls on the unit, do not remove.
3. Work something that the device will sense motion only in one direction
4. Can the device operate on a different frequency, so it will not be impacted in a negative way by the wifi frequency.
This is it from me for this product, it looks like I will have to continue to play with this device to find the proper location, since I can not return it for full refund! Hope I can figure it out sooner than later! Otherwise, it will end up in a box, stored somewhere, or sold at a garage sale activity, impressive ROI, pay $180 originally and get $5 or $10... back...
Also tried through the Amazon, request an A to Z Guarantee refund, was refused.
WILL NEVER BUY FROM ANOTHER THIRD PARTY SELLER THROUGH AMAZON.
