What I liked:
- Price of the kit
- Straightforward to install and operate
- Integrated telephone contact 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 will need to do is connect the new dispositives in serie with the current 1
- I can contact the control unity with my mobile telephone and disarm the alarm ahead of get house when I am not with the remote control
- My phone rings within 9 seconds right after the alarm is triggered
- The control unity saves a history with the information and zone of the five final instances it was triggered
- Operates with 9V batteries
What I dislike:
- Only one particular remote control
- Not especially loud. I can barely hear it outside my apartment if the front door and the space door (exactly where it is installed) are closed Issues get greater if I install it close the door, but this way someone can simply smash it or unplug the phone cable in a couple 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 exactly where you should certainly press a quantity + to operate the manage unity
- Added accessories (especially the remote control) can be pricey and tough to obtain
- Window/door sensor could be smaller
- There is a smal screw in the back of the control unity that entered inside it by way of a smal hole the very first time I opened it to insert the battery. It was a pain to eliminate it later
- I'd like to have a keyboard outside residence 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 (capabilities not informed in the manual or in the item 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 manage unity is not armed.
- Manage unity have four wire connections in the back: 1 for external siren and 3 triggers (1 typically closed and 2 commonly open for added sensors)

Right after 6 months, the 9V battery of the motion sensors are more than. The battery of the window/door sensors are still OK.

The control unity alerts you when the battery of the sensors are too low. If you do not repair, it can give false alarms.
I removed the batteries from the motion sensors and connected to the 9V output in the manage unity. Almost everything is operating fine and I don't will need to replace the batteries just about every 6 months any longer.
This overview contains the Mace Household Safety unit PLUS the optional external speaker.
I purchased this method about a month ago. It came with each an instructional DVD plus written directions. Each had been pretty straightforward to comply with. It may well take a couple of tries on some of the items to be programed mainly because it will revert back to the key menu if you take too long but this is not a issue. Producing confident the detectors are adequately set up is a should otherwise it won't arm adequately. Make confident the door/window sensor is no even 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 quantity that is not right (included motion detector is 1 and door/window sensor is two). It really is sensible to double check telephone number entries,delay occasions, and so on upon completion. I have the door/window sensor located in my outdoor shop about 125 feet away past three walls from the major control and it works fine. I've applied motion detectors ahead of and they can be a problem since they will detect pets or even rodents. It is most beneficial to locate them in narrow areas (such as a narrow hallway) to reduce the risk of a non human triggering it. The alarm is pretty loud and can be heard throughout my residence but given that I live in a rural region and also wanted to defend my detached shop, I chose the external alarm. I would say that when set up it may very well have an useful range of about 200-250 feet, based on neighborhood noises. This hopefully would scare away intruders but not sure my neighbors (about 900 feet away) would discover it.
My only complaint issues the directions. For the duration of my initial set up I had complications arming the technique and had to contact client support. The directions indicated that troubleshooting details was out there on their website but there was none. I was in a position to get a troubleshooting guide from tech support and he indicated that hopefully this would be place on their internet site in the future.
Also, the instructions for the external siren indicated there are three distinct versions of software program developed over the years that needed several programing techniques and the serial number of the major 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 process. The beneficial news is that Mick at tech support was fantastic. He responded speedily to my calls and walked me by way of the couple of minor issues I had. For me, it really is not just about a terrific value (I paid about $72 including shipping for the Home Security package and about $42 for the optional siren) but consumer assistance and I rate each at A+. Once again, my only issue was with the instructions and hopefully these will be corrected by Mace. I decided it still earned 5 stars based on the amazing help they provided.
I researched a number of alarm systems and identified this unit to genuinely be an great buy based on it is top quality and characteristics and I am quite satisfied with it.
