What I liked:
- Cost of the kit
- Hassle-free to install and operate
- Integrated phone call unit
- Range of the sensors
- No false alarms
- WIndow/door sensor can easily be modified to control two or way more wired magnetic sensors. All you want to do is connect the new dispositives in serie with the current one
- I can call the control unity with my mobile phone and disarm the alarm prior to get property when I am not with the remote control
- My telephone rings within 9 seconds right after the alarm is triggered
- The control unity saves a history with the data and zone of the 5 last times it was triggered
- Operates with 9V batteries
What I dislike:
- Only 1 remote manage
- Not fairly loud. I can barely hear it outside my apartment if the front door and the space door (where it is installed) are closed Factors get superior if I install it close the door, but this way somebody can easily smash it or unplug the phone cable in a handful of seconds. I'd rather to have an external siren
- Manual have two distinctive procedures for remote operation of the alarm. The appropriate is the second 1 in the end of the manual where you ought to press a number + to operate the control unity
- Additional accessories (specifically the remote manage) can be high-priced and tough to locate
- Window/door sensor could be smaller sized
- There is a smal screw in the back of the control unity that entered inside it by way of a smal hole the 1st time I opened it to insert the battery. It was a pain to get rid of it later
- I'd like to have a keyboard outside residence so that I can disarm the alarm with no the remote manage.
- I did not uncover how to disarm zones without deleting the sensor from the manage unity database
What was a plus (functions not informed in the manual or in the item description):
- Window/door sensor have a glass break detector. It triggers the manage unity with influence
- WIndow/door sensor have a switch to locally play an alarm sound even if the control unity is not armed.
- Manage unity have four wire connections in the back: 1 for external siren and 3 triggers (1 generally closed and 2 normally open for extra sensors)

After 6 months, the 9V battery of the motion sensors are more than. The battery of the window/door sensors are nevertheless OK.

The manage unity alerts you when the battery of the sensors are too low. If you don't fix, it can give false alarms.
I removed the batteries from the motion sensors and connected to the 9V output in the manage unity. Every little thing is operating fine and I do not have to have to replace the batteries just about every 6 months any longer.

This assessment consists of the Mace Dwelling Security unit PLUS the optional external speaker.
I bought this program about a month ago. It came with each an instructional DVD plus written instructions. Both were pretty simple and easy to follow. It could possibly take a couple of tries on some of the items to be programed for the reason that it will revert back to the main menu if you take too extended but this is not a problem. Producing positive the detectors are correctly set up is a should otherwise it will not arm effectively. Make sure the door/window sensor is no additional than 1/four inch apart. If either is set up incorrectly it will tell you on the lcd to please close and gives the sensor number that's not right (included motion detector is 1 and door/window sensor is 2). It really is wise to double check phone quantity entries,delay times, and so on upon completion. I have the door/window sensor situated in my outdoor shop about 125 feet away past 3 walls from the primary manage and it functions fine. I've made use of motion detectors prior to and they can be a challenge given that they will detect pets or even rodents. It really is very best to locate them in narrow places (such as a narrow hallway) to reduce the danger of a non human triggering it. The alarm is really loud and can be heard all through my home but due to the fact I reside in a rural location and also wanted to defend my detached store, I chose the external alarm. I would say that when set up it may perhaps have an reliable range of about 200-250 feet, depending on neighborhood noises. This hopefully would scare away intruders but not certain my neighbors (about 900 feet away) would notice it.
My only complaint issues the instructions. For the duration of my initial set up I had challenges arming the system and had to call buyer assistance. The directions indicated that troubleshooting data was obtainable on their internet site but there was none. I was in a position to get a troubleshooting guide from tech help and he indicated that hopefully this would be put on their website in the future.
Also, the directions for the external siren indicated there are three numerous versions of software created more than the years that necessary diverse programing strategies and the serial quantity of the primary control unit indicated which version I had. This proved to be incorrect and once more I had to call tech help to get the right programing process. The really good news is that Mick at tech help was exceptional. He responded swiftly to my calls and walked me by means of the couple of minor difficulties I had. For me, it really is not just about a awesome price (I paid about $72 such as shipping for the House Security package and about $42 for the optional siren) but customer support and I rate each at A+. Once again, my only trouble was with the directions and hopefully these will be corrected by Mace. I decided it nevertheless earned 5 stars based on the awesome support they supplied.
I researched a number of alarm systems and identified this unit to actually be an superb decide to buy based on it's good quality and attributes and I'm rather happy with it.
