Client Testimonials

What I liked:
- Price tag of the kit
- Quick to install and operate
- Integrated telephone call unit
- Range of the sensors
- No false alarms
- WIndow/door sensor can easily be modified to control two or way more wired magnetic sensors. All you will need to do is connect the new dispositives in serie with the current a single
- I can call the manage unity with my mobile phone and disarm the alarm before get home when I'm not with the remote control
- My telephone rings within 9 seconds following the alarm is triggered
- The control unity saves a history with the data and zone of the five last occasions it was triggered
- Operates with 9V batteries
What I dislike:
- Only one remote control
- Not extremely loud. I can barely hear it outside my apartment if the front door and the space door (where it is installed) are closed Things get far better if I install it close the door, but this way an individual can very easily smash it or unplug the phone cable in a couple of seconds. I'd rather to have an external siren
- Manual have two several procedures for remote operation of the alarm. The right is the second a single in the end of the manual exactly where you must press a number + to operate the manage unity
- Additional accessories (specifically the remote control) can be highly-priced and tough to discover
- Window/door sensor could be smaller sized
- There is a smal screw in the back of the manage unity that entered inside it via a smal hole the very first time I opened it to insert the battery. It was a pain to take away it later
- I'd like to have a keyboard outside residence so that I can disarm the alarm devoid of the remote manage.
- I did not discover how to disarm zones with no deleting the sensor from the control unity database
What was a plus (functions 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 4 wire connections in the back: 1 for external siren and 3 triggers (1 usually closed and 2 normally open for additional sensors)

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

The control unity alerts you when the battery of the sensors are also 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 control unity. Every thing is working fine and I don't need to replace the batteries every 6 months anymore.

This evaluation includes the Mace Household Security unit PLUS the optional external speaker.
I purchased this process about a month ago. It came with both an instructional DVD plus written directions. Both had been pretty simple to follow. It may take a couple of tries on some of the items to be programed considering that it will revert back to the main menu if you take too extended but this is not a challenge. Making sure the detectors are properly set up is a need to otherwise it won't arm effectively. Make positive the door/window sensor is no additional than 1/4 inch apart. If either is set up incorrectly it will tell you on the lcd to please close and provides the sensor quantity that is not appropriate (included motion detector is 1 and door/window sensor is 2). It's wise to double check phone number entries,delay occasions, and so on upon completion. I have the door/window sensor situated in my outdoor store about 125 feet away past three walls from the main manage and it functions fine. I've used motion detectors before and they can be a problem because they will detect pets or even rodents. It's ideal to find them in narrow places (such as a narrow hallway) to decrease the risk of a non human triggering it. The alarm is especially loud and can be heard all through my home but since I reside in a rural area and also wanted to protect my detached store, I chose the external alarm. I would say that when set up it may perhaps have an effective range of about 200-250 feet, depending on neighborhood noises. This hopefully would scare away intruders but not confident my neighbors (about 900 feet away) would notice it.
My only complaint concerns the instructions. For the duration of my initial set up I had issues arming the program and had to call customer help. The directions indicated that troubleshooting knowledge was accessible on their site 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 put on their web site in the future.
Also, the directions for the external siren indicated there are three different versions of software created over the years that required various programing techniques and the serial number of the most important control unit indicated which version I had. This proved to be incorrect and again I had to call tech help to get the right programing process. The superior news is that Mick at tech help was exceptional. He responded rapidly to my calls and walked me by means of the couple of minor problems I had. For me, it is not just about a outstanding price tag (I paid about $72 such as shipping for the Household Security package and about $42 for the optional siren) but buyer assistance and I rate each at A+. Once more, my only predicament was with the directions and hopefully these will be corrected by Mace. I decided it nonetheless earned 5 stars based on the great help they supplied.
I researched a number of alarm systems and found this unit to definitely be an outstanding decide to buy based on it's high quality and features and I am really satisfied with it.
