Consumer Testimonials

The acquire of this product was a knee jerk reaction/obtain to becoming broken into final fall. The selection of getting nothing vs getting to subscribe to an alarm service was not pleasing. A relative has a comparable DIY alarm system and mentioned they were happy with it and this supplied a middle ground.
As stated, the instructions are a little difficult to digest at very first, but once you have an understanding of it, it really is fairly easy to program the unit and sensors. (The picture shows the alarm getting an extendable antenna as well as the sensors, but the unit received did not have any.)
The supplied no name batteries did not final very extended. The a single motion sensor that is in a high targeted traffic region died with in three months and the replacement battery is not undertaking so properly (brand name). So don't be surprised if you have to replace the 9V battery twice or 3 times a year in high site visitors regions. The remote manage battery is an odd ball size that I only identified at Radio Shack (did not appear online, it was actually stocked). I purchased added motion sensors and the door sensors I have not mounted however. Keep extra batteries for the sensors around and check the sensors that they are operating.
The unit is suppose to have a battery backup, but I have yet to see how that functions. If you have to manually switch it more than, then it's pointless (only skimmed the manual). I unplugged the unit expecting it to preserve "alive" and it went off. If I want it to last/operate in the course of a power outage, I may possibly as well get an uninterrupted power provide they use for computers. Also, when the unit is plugged into the telephone line and you are employing it, it tends to make a beeping or chirping noise that is heard. If the telephone is plugged into the unit, it actually hangs up on you! Factory says this isn't right, but I don't want to sent it back and NOT have protection.
I purchased two units, giving a single to a buddy who has skilled numerous break-ins. Considering the fact that then, he has been broken into once given that it was installed. The unit did call him and his kids and he called me to check his dwelling (much less then five min way). He also did not use the door sensor, only relying on the supplied motion alarm. The alarm will scare people today off, but be warned, there is nevertheless time amongst activating and really finding someone there- at least five-7 min or a great deal more. If you want a more quickly response time, then pay for a monitored alarm service. (Or acquire the external siren to alert neighbors quicker.) As soon as I walked into my residence forgetting to disarm the unit with the remote manage, it went off making use of the motion sensor and known as me with in five-7 seconds of going off. I test my sensors at least just about every three-4 months to make sure they set the unit off and to make confident it calls me.
I have knowledgeable 1 false alarm. The unit went off and called. Upon inspection of house, the unit reset it's self (I did not memorize all the codes for remote operation)- all doors and windows had been secure. Unit was nonetheless armed when entering (utilised remote to disarm). It is unclear if it was a malfunction, or if the motion sensors detected a movement. We have never ever had any troubles with drapes and heat vents in the past, but we suspected it. Unless somebody was trying to jimmy a sliding glass door and brushed up against the blinds developing movement(?)- but I have not tested that notion.
It was suggest by nearby law enforcement that an external audible siren be also put to use. The internal alarm and unit going off is enough for 'noise' inside the house, but for an alarm to work properly, an external siren is recommended to alert neighbors of any problems. (I perhaps ordering a lot more internal plug in sirens or one particular or two external battery powered sirens.)
Would I advocate this alarm? Yes and no. Does it perform... yes, but not perfectly. Are there better out there, I'm certain there are. Do your analysis, see what is readily available. I have it currently, so I am making do.
(Alarms are just 1 tool to support secure a location. It is not a substitute for not getting very good door locks/dead bolts. Subsequent step in home defense is to install cameras to record the exterior and any guests. That way, intruders 'risk' becoming identified if they try.... Various layers of protection will HOPEFULLY deter intruders from deciding on your residence. And yes, dogs are component of that layer also!)
PS-
Necessary NOTE---- Important NOTE
Important: When working with an alarm method that does NOT call a security monitoring service, DO NOT tell folks that. It really is improved to make many people think it is a MONITORED service. If you tell "good friends" and the word gets about, the wrong folks could locate out. And then the wrong persons know that they have "time" just before someone actually shows up. Right?
