Buyer Evaluations

What I liked:
- Value of the kit
- Simple and easy to install and operate
- Integrated phone call unit
- Range of the sensors
- No false alarms
- WIndow/door sensor can quickly be modified to manage two or a lot more wired magnetic sensors. All you have to have to do is connect the new dispositives in serie with the current one particular
- I can contact the manage unity with my mobile telephone and disarm the alarm just before get dwelling when I'm not with the remote control
- My telephone rings inside 9 seconds following the alarm is triggered
- The control unity saves a history with the information and zone of the five last occasions it was triggered
- Operates with 9V batteries
What I dislike:
- Only 1 remote control
- Not particularly loud. I can barely hear it outside my apartment if the front door and the area door (exactly where it is installed) are closed Points get greater if I install it close the door, but this way an individual can simply smash it or unplug the telephone cable in a few seconds. I'd rather to have an external siren
- Manual have two diverse procedures for remote operation of the alarm. The right is the second one in the end of the manual where you should really press a number + to operate the manage unity
- Added accessories (especially the remote manage) can be costly and hard to acquire
- Window/door sensor could be smaller
- There is a smal screw in the back of the control unity that entered inside it by means of a smal hole the initial time I opened it to insert the battery. It was a pain to get rid of it later
- I'd like to have a keyboard outside dwelling so that I can disarm the alarm with no the remote manage.
- I did not uncover how to disarm zones with out deleting the sensor from the control unity database
What was a plus (characteristics not informed in the manual or in the product 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 generally closed and two generally open for added sensors)

Just after 6 months, the 9V battery of the motion sensors are over. The battery of the window/door sensors are still OK.

The manage unity alerts you when the battery of the sensors are as well 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 manage unity. Every thing is operating fine and I don't require to replace the batteries every 6 months anymore.

This assessment contains the Mace Residence 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. Each were pretty hassle-free to adhere to. It may perhaps take a couple of tries on some of the items to be programed since it will revert back to the primary menu if you take too lengthy but this is not a problem. Generating positive the detectors are appropriately set up is a have to otherwise it will not arm properly. Make certain 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 offers the sensor number that is not right (included motion detector is 1 and door/window sensor is two). It is sensible to double check phone quantity entries,delay times, etc upon completion. I have the door/window sensor positioned in my outdoor shop about 125 feet away past 3 walls from the most important control and it operates fine. I've used motion detectors just before and they can be a issue considering the fact that they will detect pets or even rodents. It is best to find them in narrow places (such as a narrow hallway) to minimize the danger of a non human triggering it. The alarm is especially loud and can be heard all through my home but considering that I live in a rural region and also wanted to guard my detached shop, I chose the external alarm. I would say that when set up it can have an productive range of about 200-250 feet, based on neighborhood noises. This hopefully would scare away intruders but not positive my neighbors (about 900 feet away) would notice it.
My only complaint issues the instructions. For the duration of my initial set up I had difficulties arming the method and had to contact consumer support. The directions indicated that troubleshooting information and facts was obtainable on their web-site but there was none. I was in a position to get a troubleshooting guide from tech assistance and he indicated that hopefully this would be put on their webpage in the future.
Also, the directions for the external siren indicated there are 3 distinct versions of software created more than the years that needed completely different programing approaches and the serial number of the most important manage unit indicated which version I had. This proved to be incorrect and once again I had to contact tech assistance to get the appropriate programing procedure. The decent news is that Mick at tech assistance was superb. He responded rapidly to my calls and walked me via the couple of minor complications I had. For me, it really is not just about a good price tag (I paid about $72 such as shipping for the Home Safety package and about $42 for the optional siren) but client help and I rate each at A+. Again, my only problem was with the instructions and hopefully these will be corrected by Mace. I decided it nonetheless earned 5 stars based on the terrific help they supplied.
I researched a quantity of alarm systems and identified this unit to actually be an outstanding buy based on it is high quality and features and I'm pretty satisfied with it.
