Description
Mobeye MiniPir iCM41C Container Alarm
The Mobeye MiniPir iCM41C is a container alarm designed to protect valuable assets stored in shipping containers and other metal structures, such as electricity substations and powerhouses. This self-contained PIR alarm system runs on battery power and features an integrated 4G/2G communication module. An external mushroom antenna with a 2.5-metre cable makes it particularly suitable for metal containers or areas with limited mobile signal. The antenna is weather-resistant.
When a break-in occurs, the iCM41C sends notifications by push message, phone call, SMS, and/or email, so you’re alerted promptly wherever you are.
Note: The iCM41C shares the same specifications as the Mobeye MiniPir Intruder Alarm iCM41, with one key addition: the external mushroom antenna and 2.5-metre cable, which extend reliable 4G/2G reception into metal containers and other low-signal environments.
Why Shipping Containers Need a Dedicated Container Alarm
Shipping containers are used for far more than transport — they double as temporary offices and secure storage for tools, supplies, and equipment. Left in parking areas or remote sites, they’re vulnerable to break-ins, and lock boxes or padlocks alone don’t prevent theft. A self-contained, battery-powered container alarm with a built-in PIR motion sensor and 4G/2G communication solves this: it needs no external power, is easy to install, and alerts you immediately when the passive infrared sensor is triggered by a movement or air wave.
Because metal containers block or weaken mobile signal, the external mushroom antenna and its 2.5-metre cable are mounted outside the container to maintain reliable reception. That’s the specific problem the iCM41C is built to solve.
Passive Infrared Sensor
The iCM41C responds instantly to movement. When the container is opened, the PIR sensor detects motion or air displacement and triggers the alarm, immediately notifying your designated contacts.
Battery-Operated
The iCM41C is designed for energy efficiency, running for more than a year on a single set of batteries. When batteries need replacing, the system sends an automatic notification — no need to check manually.
Easy Set-Up in Four Steps
Setting up the Mobeye MiniPir iCM41C is quick and straightforward:
- Create an account: Register on the Mobeye Portal to manage settings and notifications.
- Activate the Mobeye SIM card: Use the SIM card included with your device to enable communication.
- Add contact persons: Specify who will receive alerts.
- Install the Mobeye Messages app: Ensure all contacts download the app for instant updates and notifications.
After these steps, the alarm is ready to provide real-time container security.
Common Applications of the Mobeye iCM41C
As a container alarm, the iCM41C is suited to a range of use cases:
- Securing metal storage containers, including construction site containers, shipping containers and storage units.
- Protecting small metal structures, such as electricity substations, powerhouses and technical enclosures.
- Monitoring containers in remote locations, where there is no Wi-Fi or fixed internet connection.
- Securing containers with weak mobile reception, using the external antenna to improve signal performance inside metal enclosures.
