Had this alarm system for the last two months. Also, bought the GSM Cellular Module, because I don't have a land-line.
After being broken into my previous place, an alarm system was a must have for our new apartment home. Before moving in, I began the installation. At first, I was concerned with the directions which mainly consisted of a photograph example, but the installation was a breeze. The door alarms are simple to mount and based on a flawless technology. The motion detectors were a bit more difficult, but I once I figured out how the jumpers coordinated with the spectrum of detection (which is enclosed in those directions), it was fine. I set mine to a large distance, so I should not have been shocked that the cat set it off. At a mid-distance, my cat didn't trigger it at all.
Although I could have used a bit more description of the modes (HOME, AWAY, etc.), all of the directions for programming the system were clear and concise. The flexibility of this system is amazing. You can program up to 10 phone numbers and customize the timer delays as much as you need to. The key fobs are awesome. I have friends that paid $800.00 for their systems and having had to come by while they are gone, I hate the keypad-only systems. You can set this system using the key fob, which can transmit through our metal door or arm it by phone.
As for the alarm part, I have had this go off accidentally and by design. The accident part had to do with guests who didn't follow directions and my cat. In every case, I was notified soon enough to disarm it relatively quickly. The alarm is loud and deafening inside the apartment, and is certainly loud enough to be heard within the building.
I would highly recommend this system. You can use it with a monitoring company because that is supported, but it certainly beats the $800.00 models that these monitoring companies charge for their systems. Plus installation is easy and DIY. I feel safe at night and when I am away. The day-to-day use is simple and easy to work into your morning/night routine.
