Client Evaluations

What I liked:
- Cost of the kit
- Hassle-free 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 far more wired magnetic sensors. All you will need to do is connect the new dispositives in serie with the existing 1
- I can call the control unity with my mobile phone and disarm the alarm before get home when I'm not with the remote manage
- My phone rings within 9 seconds soon after 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 pretty loud. I can barely hear it outside my apartment if the front door and the room door (where it is installed) are closed Issues get much better if I install it close the door, but this way somebody can effortlessly smash it or unplug the phone cable in a handful of seconds. I'd rather to have an external siren
- Manual have two various procedures for remote operation of the alarm. The appropriate is the second 1 in the end of the manual exactly where you need to press a number + to operate the manage unity
- Extra accessories (specifically the remote manage) can be high priced and hard to uncover
- Window/door sensor could be smaller
- There is a smal screw in the back of the manage unity that entered inside it via a smal hole the very first 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 house so that I can disarm the alarm with out the remote control.
- I didn't uncover how to disarm zones devoid of deleting the sensor from the manage unity database
What was a plus (attributes not informed in the manual or in the product description):
- Window/door sensor have a glass break detector. It triggers the control unity with influence
- WIndow/door sensor have a switch to locally play an alarm sound even if the manage unity is not armed.
- Manage unity have 4 wire connections in the back: 1 for external siren and three triggers (1 usually closed and two commonly open for additional sensors)

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

The control 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. Every little thing is working fine and I do not need to replace the batteries every single 6 months anymore.

This assessment contains the Mace Household Security unit PLUS the optional external speaker.
I bought this process about a month ago. It came with both an instructional DVD plus written instructions. Each had been pretty simple and easy to follow. It can take a couple of tries on some of the items to be programed because it will revert back to the key menu if you take as well extended but this is not a trouble. Making positive the detectors are properly set up is a have to otherwise it won't arm adequately. Make confident the door/window sensor is no much 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 quantity that's not right (included motion detector is 1 and door/window sensor is two). It's wise to double check phone quantity entries,delay times, and so on upon completion. I have the door/window sensor situated in my outdoor store about 125 feet away past 3 walls from the principal control and it works fine. I've implemented motion detectors just before and they can be a difficulty given that they will detect pets or even rodents. It's preferred to locate them in narrow places (such as a narrow hallway) to reduce the danger of a non human triggering it. The alarm is quite loud and can be heard all through my house but considering that I reside in a rural location and also wanted to shield my detached store, I chose the external alarm. I would say that when set up it may very well have an useful range of about 200-250 feet, based on neighborhood noises. This hopefully would scare away intruders but not confident my neighbors (about 900 feet away) would notice it.
My only complaint concerns the directions. For the duration of my initial set up I had difficulties arming the technique and had to call customer help. The directions indicated that troubleshooting info was accessible on their web page 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 put on their site in the future.
Also, the directions for the external siren indicated there are 3 numerous versions of software created more than the years that required various programing approaches and the serial number of the primary manage unit indicated which version I had. This proved to be incorrect and once again I had to call tech help to get the appropriate programing process. The superior news is that Mick at tech support was terrific. He responded fast to my calls and walked me via the couple of minor troubles I had. For me, it really is not just about a outstanding cost (I paid about $72 like shipping for the Property Security package and about $42 for the optional siren) but client support and I rate both at A+. Once again, my only predicament was with the instructions and hopefully these will be corrected by Mace. I decided it nonetheless earned 5 stars based on the terrific support they offered.
I researched a quantity of alarm systems and located this unit to definitely be an remarkable purchase based on it is quality and attributes and I'm fairly satisfied with it.
