great bit of kit

Well done Yale, this house alarm was very easy to set up: a fair price.

I really liked this product because it was just what i required , 2 PIR and one contact and easy to use Keypad with a good installation manual. However the siren in the alarm was acting up in that it worked ok when it went off due to tamper proof was armed but after a couple minute it turned into a 'croak' and subsequently it work intermittently between a croak and full siren. Had to return it.

I needed a very simple alarm system for my cabin. This looked to fit the bill and has given me some comfort knowing it is quite loud when activated. Another reviewer said read the manual, seems silly but actually sensible. It's plain English (and clear) and there are some good things to know before you start. There are two PIR sensors, but one of the them is a pet sensor. You only know by reading the model number. I didn't see this until I had put up the pet sensor, so needed to change that. It's fairly straightforward to add and remove the gadgets. I also purchased the keyfob suggested as a package but this was not compatible with the alarm - excellent. I used the Yale technical contact form and they were brilliant. Told me what model I needed and therefore sent back to Amazon and bought the correct one. So, its a good inexpensive system. Easy to install, very easy in fact. It's loud so although someone might get in they hopefully wont stay for long. Don't trust the amazon suggestions they are wrong! If you are looking for extra gadgets for the system looks for ones that are compatible with the HSA models.

A really great kit and not to hard to install

I've used this battery alarm now for a couple of premises. The last install was for a large property and I actually used 3 kits to fully cover the area. What works well is that each alarm box is independent (and cutting the house electric won't affect the alarm operation), but connects to all the sensors. Same for the keypad, so the same passcode disables all 3 boxes. One tip that is easy to miss in the install manual ..... set the program DIP switch on the alarm box before you try to setup.

The alarm was easy to setup in the end and does just what I want, but what a saga! I ordered this alarm system to replace it's Yale predecessor which worked for me without problems for 18 years before the sounder stopped sounding. Having said that they have engineered a lot of cost out of it, the product feels cheaper. Despite being similarl to my old alarm I struggled to get it to work, possibly my fault. Amazon referred me to Yale support who were responsive with a good phone system and case handling. Without them this would be a one star review. BUT I ordered the key fob from the same Amazon listing at the same time. It arrived separately which should have sounded an alarm, if you will forgive the pun. After multiple support calls, (which with holidays took me past the 30 days return period) and trying things out I noticed that the radio frequencies on the key fob and alarm sounder did not match. Amazon had sent the wrong key fob. This was confirmed by Yale support who were handling multiple identical calls with the wrong key fob having been shipped. I assume a mismatch somewhere within the Amazon supply chain empire. Yale said it was an Amazon problem as I did not buy it from Yale, which is true. After the 30 day return period the Amazon automated customer service system cannot cope with this scenario . I eventually managed to speak to a human who agreed to refund me and I returned the fob. If you do want the right key fob the Yale model number is 666060001001 and you can buy direct, which is what I have done. Some tips: - Don't put a door sensor on a garage door as movement of the door when large vehicles pass will trip the alarm - The batteries last about 2 years. When one of the batteries senses low (multiple pips from the sounder), replace them all in one go.

So easy to set up and use. The alarm is so loud, good quality and the plus side is has a tamper proof alarm box. Excellent value for money.

I placed the alarm in my box truck. Object is to keep all my racing parts and spares safe. I used the second motion detector to protect the truck catalytic converter. It would have been very convenient if one of the motion detectors had been a pet friendly version.

Facil de instalar.

Absolutely perfect works but best of all how easy it is to set up thats the best bit i cant recommend this system enough its that good and great price as well and no wires so thank you very much .

J'ai récupéré la boîte aujourd'hui, elle est conforme à la photo avec un détecteur d'ouverture de porte, une sirène, un clavier mural et deux détecteur de présence. Il n'était pas indiqué dans la description si les détecteurs étaient adaptés aux animaux pour ce qui en ont. Je confirme qu'il ne sont pas adapté au animaux. J'essaie de voir avec le vendeur s'il peut ma l'échanger mais pour l'instant pas de réponse. La notice est entièrement en anglais! Super pour l'installation! J'ai demander au vendeur s'il existe une version en français. Pas de reponse
