Consumer Evaluations

What I liked:
- Price tag of the kit
- Simple to install and operate
- Integrated phone call unit
- Range of the sensors
- No false alarms
- WIndow/door sensor can simply be modified to manage two or much more wired magnetic sensors. All you need to do is connect the new dispositives in serie with the existing a single
- I can call the manage unity with my mobile phone and disarm the alarm ahead of get house when I am not with the remote manage
- My telephone rings within 9 seconds immediately after the alarm is triggered
- The control unity saves a history with the information and zone of the five last occasions it was triggered
- Operates with 9V batteries
What I dislike:
- Only one particular remote control
- Not quite loud. I can barely hear it outside my apartment if the front door and the space door (where it is installed) are closed Points get improved if I install it close the door, but this way an individual can very easily smash it or unplug the telephone cable in a handful of seconds. I'd rather to have an external siren
- Manual have two diverse procedures for remote operation of the alarm. The correct is the second one in the end of the manual exactly where you really should press a quantity + to operate the manage unity
- Added accessories (particularly the remote control) can be pricey and complicated to obtain
- Window/door sensor could be smaller
- There is a smal screw in the back of the control unity that entered inside it through a smal hole the very first time I opened it to insert the battery. It was a discomfort to eliminate it later
- I'd like to have a keyboard outside household so that I can disarm the alarm with no the remote control.
- I did not discover how to disarm zones devoid of deleting the sensor from the manage unity database
What was a plus (features not informed in the manual or in the product description):
- Window/door sensor have a glass break detector. It triggers the control unity with impact
- WIndow/door sensor have a switch to locally play an alarm sound even if the control unity is not armed.
- Control unity have four wire connections in the back: 1 for external siren and 3 triggers (1 generally closed and two commonly open for additional sensors)

Right after 6 months, the 9V battery of the motion sensors are over. The battery of the window/door sensors are nonetheless OK.

The manage unity alerts you when the battery of the sensors are also low. If you don't repair, it can give false alarms.
I removed the batteries from the motion sensors and connected to the 9V output in the manage unity. Anything is operating fine and I do not have to have to replace the batteries each 6 months any longer.

This evaluation includes the Mace Household Security unit PLUS the optional external speaker.
I bought this method about a month ago. It came with each an instructional DVD plus written directions. Each had been pretty hassle-free to follow. It may very well take a couple of tries on some of the items to be programed simply because it will revert back to the most important menu if you take too long but this is not a difficulty. Creating certain the detectors are correctly set up is a should otherwise it won't arm properly. Make confident the door/window sensor is no alot more than 1/four inch apart. If either is set up incorrectly it will tell you on the lcd to please close and provides the sensor number that is not correct (included motion detector is 1 and door/window sensor is 2). It's wise to double check phone quantity entries,delay instances, and so on upon completion. I have the door/window sensor situated in my outdoor store about 125 feet away past 3 walls from the most important control and it operates fine. I've applied motion detectors before and they can be a situation considering that they will detect pets or even rodents. It really is preferred to locate them in narrow locations (such as a narrow hallway) to reduce the risk of a non human triggering it. The alarm is quite loud and can be heard throughout my home but given that I live in a rural location and also wanted to shield my detached shop, I chose the external alarm. I would say that when set up it could have an helpful range of about 200-250 feet, based on neighborhood noises. This hopefully would scare away intruders but not certain my neighbors (about 900 feet away) would notice it.
My only complaint concerns the directions. For the duration of my initial set up I had complications arming the process and had to call client help. The directions indicated that troubleshooting knowledge was offered on their web-site but there was none. I was in a position to get a troubleshooting guide from tech assistance and he indicated that hopefully this would be put on their website in the future.
Also, the instructions for the external siren indicated there are three completely different versions of software program created over the years that needed distinct programing approaches and the serial number of the most important manage 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 procedure. The beneficial news is that Mick at tech help was terrific. He responded rapidly 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 wonderful price tag (I paid about $72 like shipping for the Household Security package and about $42 for the optional siren) but buyer assistance and I rate each at A+. Again, my only issue was with the directions and hopefully these will be corrected by Mace. I decided it nevertheless earned five stars based on the outstanding assistance they offered.
I researched a quantity of alarm systems and identified this unit to certainly be an good decide to buy based on it is good quality and capabilities and I'm fairly satisfied with it.
