Client Evaluations


What I liked:
- Value of the kit
- Effortless to install and operate
- Integrated phone call unit
- Range of the sensors
- No false alarms
- WIndow/door sensor can easily be modified to control two or alot more wired magnetic sensors. All you need to have to do is connect the new dispositives in serie with the current a single
- I can call the control unity with my mobile phone and disarm the alarm before get residence when I am not with the remote control
- My phone rings inside 9 seconds after the alarm is triggered
- The manage unity saves a history with the information and zone of the 5 final instances it was triggered
- Functions with 9V batteries
What I dislike:
- Only 1 remote control
- Not incredibly loud. I can barely hear it outside my apartment if the front door and the space door (where it is installed) are closed Issues get far better if I install it close the door, but this way an individual can quickly smash it or unplug the phone cable in a few seconds. I'd rather to have an external siren
- Manual have two distinctive procedures for remote operation of the alarm. The appropriate is the second one particular in the end of the manual where you will need to press a quantity + to operate the manage unity
- Added accessories (especially the remote control) can be high priced and hard to discover
- Window/door sensor could be smaller sized
- There is a smal screw in the back of the manage unity that entered inside it by means of a smal hole the initially time I opened it to insert the battery. It was a discomfort to take away it later
- I'd like to have a keyboard outside home so that I can disarm the alarm with out the remote manage.
- I did not discover how to disarm zones with out deleting the sensor from the manage unity database
What was a plus (capabilities not informed in the manual or in the item 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 control unity is not armed.
- Control unity have four wire connections in the back: 1 for external siren and three triggers (1 typically closed and 2 normally open for additional sensors)

Just after 6 months, the 9V battery of the motion sensors are more than. The battery of the window/door sensors are nevertheless OK.
Updated on 6/17/2011
The control unity alerts you when the battery of the sensors are also low. If you don't fix, it can give false alarms.
I removed the batteries from the motion sensors and connected to the 9V output in the manage unity. Almost everything is operating fine and I don't want to replace the batteries just about every 6 months any longer.

This evaluation contains the Mace House Security unit PLUS the optional external speaker.
I bought this system about a month ago. It came with each an instructional DVD plus written directions. Both were fairly straightforward to follow. It may take a couple of tries on some of the items to be programed considering it will revert back to the major menu if you take as well lengthy but this is not a issue. Creating confident the detectors are effectively set up is a have to otherwise it won't arm effectively. Make certain the door/window sensor is no a lot 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 number that is not appropriate (included motion detector is 1 and door/window sensor is 2). It's wise to double check phone quantity entries,delay instances, and so on upon completion. I have the door/window sensor located in my outdoor shop about 125 feet away past three walls from the principal manage and it operates fine. I've implemented motion detectors prior to and they can be a trouble given that they will detect pets or even rodents. It's perfect to locate them in narrow areas (such as a narrow hallway) to minimize the threat of a non human triggering it. The alarm is incredibly loud and can be heard throughout my residence but given that I live in a rural location and also wanted to defend my detached store, I chose the external alarm. I would say that when set up it could possibly have an useful range of about 200-250 feet, depending on neighborhood noises. This hopefully would scare away intruders but not sure my neighbors (about 900 feet away) would notice it.
My only complaint concerns the directions. Through my initial set up I had issues arming the process and had to call customer assistance. The instructions indicated that troubleshooting info was readily available on their website but there was none. I was able to get a troubleshooting guide from tech support and he indicated that hopefully this would be put on their web site in the future.
Also, the directions for the external siren indicated there are 3 distinct versions of software program developed more than the years that necessary various programing procedures and the serial quantity of the most important control unit indicated which version I had. This proved to be incorrect and once more I had to call tech assistance to get the correct programing process. The beneficial news is that Mick at tech support was wonderful. He responded immediately to my calls and walked me through the couple of minor challenges I had. For me, it is not just about a awesome price tag (I paid about $72 like shipping for the Household Security package and about $42 for the optional siren) but customer help and I rate each at A+. Again, my only challenge was with the instructions and hopefully these will be corrected by Mace. I decided it still earned 5 stars based on the great assistance they provided.
I researched a quantity of alarm systems and discovered this unit to genuinely be an superb buy based on it's high quality and capabilities and I am very happy with it.
