Customer Testimonials

What I liked:
- Value of the kit
- Hassle-free to install and operate
- Integrated phone call unit
- Range of the sensors
- No false alarms
- WIndow/door sensor can very easily 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 control unity with my mobile telephone and disarm the alarm before get property when I am not with the remote control
- 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 5 last occasions it was triggered
- Operates with 9V batteries
What I dislike:
- Only one particular remote manage
- Not very loud. I can barely hear it outside my apartment if the front door and the space door (exactly where it is installed) are closed Things get improved if I install it close the door, but this way an individual can effortlessly smash it or unplug the phone cable in a handful of seconds. I'd rather to have an external siren
- Manual have two completely different procedures for remote operation of the alarm. The correct is the second one particular in the finish of the manual where you must press a quantity + to operate the manage unity
- Added accessories (particularly the remote manage) can be high-priced and challenging to uncover
- Window/door sensor could be smaller sized
- There is a smal screw in the back of the control unity that entered inside it through a smal hole the initially 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 house so that I can disarm the alarm with out the remote control.
- I did not uncover how to disarm zones without deleting the sensor from the manage unity database
What was a plus (characteristics not informed in the manual or in the item description):
- Window/door sensor have a glass break detector. It triggers the control unity with influence
- WIndow/door sensor have a switch to locally play an alarm sound even if the control unity is not armed.

Right 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 also low. If you do not fix, 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 any longer.

This evaluation consists of the Mace Household Security unit PLUS the optional external speaker.
I purchased this technique about a month ago. It came with each an instructional DVD plus written instructions. Each had been pretty painless to follow. It may well take a couple of tries on some of the items to be programed for the reason that it will revert back to the primary menu if you take also long but this is not a problem. Generating sure the detectors are adequately set up is a have to otherwise it won't arm correctly. Make certain 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 provides the sensor number that is not right (included motion detector is 1 and door/window sensor is two). It's wise to double check telephone number entries,delay instances, etc upon completion. I have the door/window sensor situated in my outdoor shop about 125 feet away past 3 walls from the main manage and it functions fine. I've applied motion detectors before and they can be a issue since they will detect pets or even rodents. It is greatest to locate them in narrow regions (such as a narrow hallway) to minimize the risk of a non human triggering it. The alarm is especially loud and can be heard throughout my house but because I live in a rural area and also wanted to defend my detached store, I chose the external alarm. I would say that when set up it may possibly 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. In the course of my initial set up I had troubles arming the method and had to call customer assistance. The instructions indicated that troubleshooting information and facts was available on their site but there was none. I was able to get a troubleshooting guide from tech assistance and he indicated that hopefully this would be put on their web site in the future.
Also, the instructions for the external siren indicated there are 3 diverse versions of software program developed more than the years that needed several programing techniques and the serial quantity of the main manage unit indicated which version I had. This proved to be incorrect and again I had to call tech support to get the correct programing process. The beneficial news is that Mick at tech help was superb. He responded swiftly to my calls and walked me through the couple of minor complications I had. For me, it is not just about a awesome price tag (I paid about $72 like shipping for the Home Security package and about $42 for the optional siren) but buyer assistance and I rate each at A+. Once again, my only predicament was with the directions and hopefully these will be corrected by Mace. I decided it still earned 5 stars based on the fantastic assistance they offered.
I researched a quantity of alarm systems and identified this unit to actually be an superb acquire based on it really is top quality and capabilities and I'm quite happy with it.
