Customer Review: Good Reliable System
Summary: 5 Stars
I have owned this security system for a few years now. It has done a fine job of making our family feel very secure in our home. We have actually recommended this system to one of our friends and they have purchased and enjoyed theirs for about a year and a half. We have had no problems and it has proven to be reliable over the years.
I think it is important for these reviews to be helpful so I want to take this opportunity to provide people with some tips and good information to utilize if you decide to purchase this system and install it yourself. These are things that I learned as I went through my installation and I am happy to save you from repeating my mistakes.
1. As others have said, it is comprehensive and everything you need to do the install is included in the box (except the screwdriver..) Each window/door sensor can be installed with the double sided tape however I recommend that you take the time to install these with the screws that are included in the box. I made a mistake of just using the tape and one hot humid summer day the magnetic contact fell off and set the alarm off. Since then, I screwed each contact in for a more permanent solution. If you feel compelled to just use the double sided tape, make sure you clean the surface with alcohol prior. That was something I did not do also.
2. Buy alkaline batteries. The batteries have a very long lifespan in the sensors. Over the years that we have had the system, we have only had to replace our keychain remote batteries. All the sensor batteries are still holding strong. The technology that is being used must operate on very little electricity...
3. When you are first "registering" your sensors with the console, be sure to turn the motion sensors to face the wall. Otherwise, you will find that your motion sensor will be registered in multiple zones as it detects you walking around the house setting all the other sensors.
4. Another sensor suggestion during the registration process is that you be careful not to close the window/door sensor lid too hard. It has a test button under the lid and if you press too hard you may register the sensor twice.
5. If you have a lot of windows, I recommend that you utilize a motion sensor in that area as opposed to putting a sensor on each window. It will save you lots of time(and sensors) and provide comprehensive coverage.
6. Get an extra siren or two.. I think you can add as many sirens as you have electrical outlets but if you really want to scare someone away, stock up on the sirens and put them around the house. The louder the better, right?
7. The motion sensor is not pet sensitive but I fixed that real quick. I took a piece of medical tape (white color matched the sensor) and put it across the bottom of the IR sensor. It simply eliminated the sensor from detecting anything under 3 ft tall. Our dog is small so it worked for us. If your dog is taller than 3 ft then you probably don't need a security system...
8. I would set all of the sensors and remotes to arm instantly (min). If you have any of them set to (max), the console will ding for like 30-60 seconds before arming. It was actually quite annoying. With everything set to arm/disarm instantly you get instant gratification and can forgo the countdown. We just arm and disarm our alarm after we leave or before we enter the house with our keychain remote.
9. Try to centrally locate your console in your house. (Especially if your house is huge) Ours is not centrally located and we have not had any issues with sensor or remote control range but you never know. Actually, we have tried turning our alarm off from the street before hitting our driveway and it worked. It probably has to be perfect weather conditions for that to happen again though...
Anyway, hope this information and review is helpful. Enjoy your Amazon experience!

This comprehensive alarm system is packed full of features and is functional in any home or business setting. The best part about this system is that there are no monthly monitoring fees and it is easy to install. When this alarm is triggered it activates a blaring siren, flashes lights, and calls up to 4 phone numbers that you have programmed into the console. These phone numbers can be your own cell or work number, friends, family or neighbors. When the console reaches someone, it will play a message that you have pre-recorded and then it will allow that person to listen into your home or business to see if immediate action needs to be taken. A robust feature of this system is that it allows you to turn your home lights on and off or dim them at the push of a button by remote control.(never enter a dark home again) All the state-of-the-art sensors included with this system operate wirelessly and are supervised by the console to provide professional reliability. While in passive-mode, this console supports an optional notification feature that provides a single chime anytime a window or door is opened.
