Buyer Reviews

What I liked:
- Price of the kit
- Quick to install and operate
- Integrated phone call 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 existing one
- I can call the control unity with my mobile telephone and disarm the alarm just before get residence when I'm not with the remote manage
- My telephone rings within 9 seconds 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 particularly 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 superior 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 diverse procedures for remote operation of the alarm. The correct is the second one in the end of the manual exactly where you need to press a number + to operate the control unity
- Extra accessories (particularly the remote manage) can be pricey and hard to locate
- Window/door sensor could be smaller sized
- There is a smal screw in the back of the manage unity that entered inside it by means of 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 dwelling so that I can disarm the alarm without the remote control.
- I didn't uncover how to disarm zones without having 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 manage unity with impact
- WIndow/door sensor have a switch to locally play an alarm sound even if the manage unity is not armed.
- Control unity have four wire connections in the back: 1 for external siren and 3 triggers (1 typically closed and 2 ordinarily open for additional sensors)

Following 6 months, the 9V battery of the motion sensors are over. 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 fix, it can give false alarms.
I removed the batteries from the motion sensors and connected to the 9V output in the control unity. Every little thing is operating fine and I do not have to have to replace the batteries every single 6 months any longer.

This review contains the Mace House Security unit PLUS the optional external speaker.
I purchased this process about a month ago. It came with both an instructional DVD plus written instructions. Each were pretty painless to follow. It might take a couple of tries on some of the items to be programed simply because it will revert back to the most important menu if you take as well extended but this is not a difficulty. Creating confident the detectors are properly set up is a have to otherwise it will not arm adequately. Make confident the door/window sensor is no way more than 1/4 inch apart. If either is set up incorrectly it will tell you on the lcd to please close and gives the sensor number that's not appropriate (included motion detector is 1 and door/window sensor is two). It really is wise to double check phone quantity entries,delay times, and so on upon completion. I have the door/window sensor located in my outdoor store about 125 feet away past three walls from the major manage and it functions fine. I've made use of motion detectors prior to and they can be a challenge because they will detect pets or even rodents. It is ideal to locate them in narrow places (such as a narrow hallway) to reduce the danger of a non human triggering it. The alarm is fairly loud and can be heard all through my house but because I reside in a rural region and also wanted to defend my detached store, I chose the external alarm. I would say that when set up it might have an productive 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. For the duration of my initial set up I had issues arming the technique and had to call customer help. The directions indicated that troubleshooting info was obtainable on their internet site but there was none. I was able to get a troubleshooting guide from tech support and he indicated that hopefully this would be put on their web page in the future.
Also, the instructions for the external siren indicated there are 3 several versions of computer software developed more than the years that required distinct programing procedures and the serial quantity of the key control unit indicated which version I had. This proved to be incorrect and once again I had to call tech help to get the right programing process. The very good news is that Mick at tech help was great. He responded rapidly to my calls and walked me by way of the couple of minor complications I had. For me, it is not just about a wonderful price tag (I paid about $72 including shipping for the Dwelling Security package and about $42 for the optional siren) but buyer assistance and I rate each at A+. Again, my only situation was with the instructions and hopefully these will be corrected by Mace. I decided it still earned five stars based on the wonderful help they supplied.
I researched a quantity of alarm systems and discovered this unit to really be an great buy based on it really is top quality and capabilities and I'm fairly satisfied with it.
