There are a lot of instructions on this product, although complicated at first, if you follow the instructions correctly and take your time to read them, it will work.

The package come with the included sensors already paired with the base, so, all I needed to do was to change the passwords and include my phone numbers.

When it calls me, I can hear what is going on ONLY if the alarm is in the silent mode, since it has a pretty loud noise coming from the base (where the mic is).

The door sensor works pretty good, every time I forgot to disarm, it goes off. The motion detector, it is not the most reliable, but it also works, I believe the reliability has to do with the fact that it seems to read the environment every 5 seconds or so.

I live in a small apartment, and I don't know what is the actual range of these devices and cannot say if they work well in large houses/apartments.

So far, it is working OK. Rating: 4 / 5

This alarm system was bought to protect my garage. The install was super simple, and the unit worked well in the house. The reason for my low rating was because they advertise a 450 ft range for the sensors, but at about 60 ft it would not work. It all fairness, I was told by a local alarm installer that none of the wireless units will transmit through aluminum siding. If you have any siding besides metal I assume it would work.

You dont need to be a NASA scientist to install it. Just read carefully the instructions before use it. that’s all I did.

About the system is good enough to keep safe my office. It works great and I have no problems with it. Is not the best system but is affordable and a good complement to your business security officer guard.
