Consumer Reviews
What I liked:
- Price of the kit
- Quick to install and operate
- Integrated phone contact unit
- Range of the sensors
- No false alarms
- WIndow/door sensor can conveniently be modified to control two or a lot more wired magnetic sensors. All you will need to do is connect the new dispositives in serie with the current one particular
- I can call the manage unity with my mobile phone and disarm the alarm ahead of get property when I'm not with the remote manage
- My phone rings inside 9 seconds after the alarm is triggered
- The manage 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 rather loud. I can barely hear it outside my apartment if the front door and the space door (exactly where it is installed) are closed Items get much better if I install it close the door, but this way somebody can readily smash it or unplug the phone cable in a handful of seconds. I'd rather to have an external siren
- Manual have two different procedures for remote operation of the alarm. The appropriate is the second one particular in the end of the manual where you need to press a number + to operate the manage unity
- Additional accessories (specifically the remote control) can be pricey and tricky to obtain
- Window/door sensor could be smaller
- There is a smal screw in the back of the manage unity that entered inside it through a smal hole the first time I opened it to insert the battery. It was a discomfort to get rid of it later
- I'd like to have a keyboard outside residence so that I can disarm the alarm without the need of the remote control.
- I did not uncover how to disarm zones devoid of deleting the sensor from the manage unity database
What was a plus (features not informed in the manual or in the item 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 4 wire connections in the back: 1 for external siren and 3 triggers (1 generally closed and two usually 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 nevertheless OK.

The manage unity alerts you when the battery of the sensors are also low. If you don't fix, it can give false alarms.
I removed the batteries from the motion sensors and connected to the 9V output in the control unity. Everything is operating fine and I do not want to replace the batteries every 6 months any longer.
This evaluation contains the Mace Home Safety unit PLUS the optional external speaker.
I purchased this system about a month ago. It came with each an instructional DVD plus written directions. Both were fairly very easy to adhere to. It might take a couple of tries on some of the items to be programed because it will revert back to the principal menu if you take also long but this is not a situation. Creating positive the detectors are appropriately set up is a have to otherwise it won't arm correctly. Make positive the door/window sensor is no much more than 1/four inch apart. If either is set up incorrectly it will tell you on the lcd to please close and offers the sensor number that's not correct (included motion detector is 1 and door/window sensor is two). It is sensible to double check phone number entries,delay instances, 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 manage and it works fine. I've utilised motion detectors before and they can be a situation because they will detect pets or even rodents. It's perfect to find them in narrow places (such as a narrow hallway) to reduce the danger of a non human triggering it. The alarm is particularly loud and can be heard all through my house but due to the fact 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 may have an helpful 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 discover it.
My only complaint concerns the directions. In the course of my initial set up I had complications arming the method and had to contact consumer help. The instructions indicated that troubleshooting info was available on their internet 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 place on their web-site in the future.
Also, the directions for the external siren indicated there are three diverse versions of software program created over the years that expected completely different programing techniques and the serial number of the major manage unit indicated which version I had. This proved to be incorrect and again I had to call tech help to get the right programing procedure. The beneficial news is that Mick at tech help was superb. He responded easily 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 fantastic value (I paid about $72 such as shipping for the Property Safety package and about $42 for the optional siren) but client support and I rate both at A+. Again, my only difficulty was with the directions and hopefully these will be corrected by Mace. I decided it nonetheless earned five stars based on the amazing support they provided.
I researched a quantity of alarm systems and discovered this unit to really be an exceptional invest in based on it is good quality and functions and I'm rather satisfied with it.
