I purchased this product 5 months ago. As of this date, I have not completely installed it. While the installation can be simple, there are too many components to deal with. The tape that comes with it does not hold on all surfaces. I live in an apartment and did not wish to nail or screw in the components. To do so would mean, that I would have to leave the system as a part of the apartment unit. I do not wish to leave the system as it was costly.
After reading all the great reviews of this security system here on Amazon I decided to order it for my studio apartment. Unfortunately, I have not been able to set it up due to the fact that the screw on the back of the motion sensor is screwed down so tight I cannot get the back of the motion sensor off in order to put the battery inside. Due to this fact, trying to set up this security system has been an extremely frustrating experience.
This is a pretty good system for the price. My only beefs are:
1. Alarm is not loud enough. Perhaps ok for an apartment or if you live on a quiet street. I live on a busy street so I had to buy another one for each side of the house.
2. The dialer is probably useless since the phone lines can be cut. I would get the simpler system and get the 2nd alarm.
3. Change the zoning for the sensors right away so there is no delay. Think about it; during the delay the robbers can just locate the alarm and smash it before it goes off.
