Buyer Critiques

What I liked:
- Price tag of the kit
- Painless to install and operate
- Integrated phone call unit
- Range of the sensors
- No false alarms
- WIndow/door sensor can effortlessly be modified to manage two or even more wired magnetic sensors. All you have to have to do is connect the new dispositives in serie with the existing one particular
- I can call the manage unity with my mobile telephone and disarm the alarm just before get property when I'm not with the remote manage
- My phone rings within 9 seconds after the alarm is triggered
- The manage unity saves a history with the data and zone of the 5 last occasions it was triggered
- Operates with 9V batteries
What I dislike:
- Only one particular remote manage
- Not incredibly loud. I can barely hear it outside my apartment if the front door and the space door (where it is installed) are closed Issues get much better if I install it close the door, but this way someone can effortlessly smash it or unplug the phone cable in a few seconds. I'd rather to have an external siren
- Manual have two distinct procedures for remote operation of the alarm. The right is the second a single in the finish of the manual exactly where you should certainly press a number + to operate the control unity
- Additional accessories (especially the remote control) can be costly and complicated to uncover
- Window/door sensor could be smaller
- There is a smal screw in the back of the control unity that entered inside it via a smal hole the initially time I opened it to insert the battery. It was a discomfort to eliminate it later
- I'd like to have a keyboard outside dwelling so that I can disarm the alarm without the remote manage.
- I did not uncover how to disarm zones with out deleting the sensor from the control unity database
What was a plus (characteristics not informed in the manual or in the product 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.
- Control unity have four wire connections in the back: 1 for external siren and three triggers (1 generally closed and 2 typically open for added sensors)

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

The control unity alerts you when the battery of the sensors are as well 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 working fine and I do not have to have to replace the batteries every 6 months anymore.

This critique consists of the Mace House Security unit PLUS the optional external speaker.
I purchased this system about a month ago. It came with each an instructional DVD plus written instructions. Each had been fairly easy to follow. It could take a couple of tries on some of the items to be programed because it will revert back to the most important menu if you take as well extended but this is not a predicament. Making confident the detectors are adequately set up is a ought to otherwise it will not arm correctly. Make sure the door/window sensor is no a great deal more 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 is wise to double check telephone number entries,delay occasions, etc upon completion. I have the door/window sensor located in my outdoor store about 125 feet away past three walls from the principal manage and it functions fine. I've put to use motion detectors just before and they can be a situation given that they will detect pets or even rodents. It's perfect to find them in narrow areas (such as a narrow hallway) to reduce the threat of a non human triggering it. The alarm is very loud and can be heard throughout my residence but because I live in a rural area and also wanted to protect my detached shop, I chose the external alarm. I would say that when set up it can 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 directions. For the duration of my initial set up I had problems arming the program and had to call client assistance. The directions indicated that troubleshooting information was offered on their site but there was none. I was able to get a troubleshooting guide from tech help and he indicated that hopefully this would be put on their web page in the future.
Also, the instructions for the external siren indicated there are three distinctive versions of software program created over the years that required distinctive programing strategies and the serial number of the primary control unit indicated which version I had. This proved to be incorrect and again I had to call tech support to get the appropriate programing process. The beneficial news is that Mick at tech assistance was fantastic. He responded easily to my calls and walked me by means of the couple of minor difficulties I had. For me, it is not just about a great cost (I paid about $72 including shipping for the Property Security package and about $42 for the optional siren) but client help and I rate each at A+. Once again, my only trouble was with the instructions and hopefully these will be corrected by Mace. I decided it nonetheless earned 5 stars based on the terrific help they provided.
I researched a number of alarm systems and located this unit to really be an excellent buy based on it is excellent and features and I'm quite happy with it.
