Consumer Reviews

What I liked:
- Cost of the kit
- Painless to install and operate
- Integrated phone contact unit
- Range of the sensors
- No false alarms
- WIndow/door sensor can simply be modified to manage two or more wired magnetic sensors. All you will need to do is connect the new dispositives in serie with the current one
- I can call the manage unity with my mobile telephone and disarm the alarm before get residence when I'm not with the remote control
- My phone rings inside 9 seconds after the alarm is triggered
- The control unity saves a history with the information and zone of the five last occasions it was triggered
- Functions with 9V batteries
What I dislike:
- Only one particular remote manage
- Not really loud. I can barely hear it outside my apartment if the front door and the room door (exactly where it is installed) are closed Factors get superior if I install it close the door, but this way a person can readily smash it or unplug the phone cable in a few seconds. I'd rather to have an external siren
- Manual have two numerous procedures for remote operation of the alarm. The right is the second one in the finish of the manual exactly where you need to press a quantity + to operate the control unity
- Extra accessories (specially the remote manage) can be high-priced and hard to locate
- 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 initial 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 home so that I can disarm the alarm with out the remote control.
- I did not discover how to disarm zones without 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 manage unity with influence
- WIndow/door sensor have a switch to locally play an alarm sound even if the manage unity is not armed.
- Control unity have 4 wire connections in the back: 1 for external siren and 3 triggers (1 usually closed and two ordinarily open for additional sensors)

The manage unity alerts you when the battery of the sensors are too low. If you don't repair, it can give false alarms.
I removed the batteries from the motion sensors and connected to the 9V output in the control unity. Almost everything is operating fine and I don't need to replace the batteries each and every 6 months any longer.

This overview includes the Mace Dwelling Safety unit PLUS the optional external speaker.
I purchased this program about a month ago. It came with both an instructional DVD plus written instructions. Both were pretty effortless to comply with. It may well 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 lengthy but this is not a trouble. Producing sure the detectors are adequately set up is a must otherwise it will not arm adequately. Make confident the door/window sensor is no additional 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 right (included motion detector is 1 and door/window sensor is two). It's smart to double check phone number entries,delay occasions, and so on upon completion. I have the door/window sensor positioned in my outdoor shop about 125 feet away past three walls from the major manage and it operates fine. I've implemented motion detectors ahead of and they can be a dilemma because they will detect pets or even rodents. It's finest to locate them in narrow regions (such as a narrow hallway) to reduce the danger of a non human triggering it. The alarm is rather loud and can be heard throughout my house but since I reside in a rural location and also wanted to safeguard my detached shop, I chose the external alarm. I would say that when set up it could possibly have an useful range of about 200-250 feet, depending on neighborhood noises. This hopefully would scare away intruders but not sure my neighbors (about 900 feet away) would notice it.
My only complaint issues the instructions. During my initial set up I had challenges arming the system and had to call client help. The directions indicated that troubleshooting details was accessible on their web site but there was none. I was able to get a troubleshooting guide from tech help and he indicated that hopefully this would be put on their website in the future.
Also, the instructions for the external siren indicated there are three distinct versions of software developed over the years that necessary diverse programing techniques and the serial number of the major control 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 superb. He responded swiftly to my calls and walked me by way of the couple of minor problems I had. For me, it is not just about a wonderful value (I paid about $72 such as shipping for the House Safety package and about $42 for the optional siren) but buyer support and I rate both at A+. Once more, my only difficulty was with the instructions and hopefully these will be corrected by Mace. I decided it nonetheless earned five stars based on the amazing help they supplied.
I researched a quantity of alarm systems and located this unit to definitely be an superb decide to purchase based on it is quality and attributes and I am rather satisfied with it.
