This alarm does what it says, is easy to use and seems reliable. Installation was logical but confused by initially trying to follow the installation guide to the letter and by me or the unit getting confused, some sensors appeared to come up with the same areas/identities. if in any doubt or confusion or any other problems in the initial setup do not waste your time as I did persisting for hours in this mode just end the initial setup, then go into the programming mode delete the problematic sensor(s) and then re add them, Ta -Dah all working

Another confusion not mentioned is some sensors appeared to be unresponsive/not sensing while trying to test. The omission of this issue from the manual also wasted time, should you see this don't worry, it seems that some of the sensors take a couple of movement free minutes before they can recognise movement (like a background stabilisation), so if in the tests you can not get immediate response waving your hands, it may just need leaving the sensor a minute or two after setting before testing on walkthrough. As soon as I told the help line operator that 2 sensors appeared not to work he asked if I was the leaving it 2 minutes without movement, I suspect he gets this issue all the time.

Also if you have broadband on your phone don't forget to use an ADSL filter on the line from the unit.

whilst you could install this alarm alone, to put sensors in place and test is really a 2 person job so having a second pair of hands is invaluable.

With this knowledge the second system I installed was all done in 2.5 hours (as apposed to the best part of a day on the first one) .

A great product

It was fitted by my son in law who has fitted one before. He found it straightforward as with his own which was fitted a few months before. I am pleased it has a dummy external box so the house has one back and front. I am hoping this will deter burglars. The alarm is loud and set to give me plenty of time to disarm it in the morning. I will buy another control panel for upstairs so it can be switched off more easily in the mornings. I like the ability to switch off the upstairs alarm which I do at night.

brilliant product very easy to fit. straight forward instructions. once fitted very easy to test. we went for the two key fobs for ease of setting and disarming. we only have downstairs alarmed but we are able to set the alarm when going to bed which brings peace of mind for a good nights sleep. it is also a plus to have the alarm call one of our three chosen telephone numbers if we were unfortunate enough to be broken into to.with all the good points of the yale alarm, easy to use, the security it brings to our family and home is the good value for money this product brings.

Great product and easy to install, but ensure you have power and telephone socket in the location you are installing in otherwise you will end up with wires all over.

Easily installed by myself and looks on the outside make it a good deterent for everyone to see

Great alarm system by Yale. Even if you only have basic DIY skills then you should be able to fit this system with no problems at all. My package didn't come with the instruction CD as advertised but it was easy to find the relevant video on youtube. Besides, the instruction manual provided pretty much covers everything you need to get up and running. You can then delve further if you want to tweak the settings once you are used to the basics. My only negative was the aftercare from Yale. I had some trouble linking a key fob which I bought later so rang Yale helpline only to be told by a receptionist I would be called back by an engineer later that day. Luckily I managed to solve it myself as I'm still waiting for the call several weeks later. Other than that I'm more than satisfied with my purchase.

Never having an alarm before I was put off at the thought of having wires run everywhere until I came across this system, easy to fit, even for me and easy to use. The bright yellow alarm box makes it a very visable deterant and is loud enough to scare any intruder, being battery powered there's no need for wires except for the control unit that only needs a plug socket. I would recommend this to any novice DIY bodger, if I can fit it anyone can! Great alarm system at a very reasonable price making it available to all.

The appliance pack is a value for money on my personal view, the sensor are not accurate as I was expecting it to be, maybe because of poor quality but the window sensors and siren works really well. The master console expects a phone a power socket closed to it and it could cause some installation headaches. Another issue is regarding the siren and the main console, the maximum distance between them are not great and it also could cause installation challenges. Overall it is a not expensive appliance for small houses and with a really fair price.

Very easy to use and great value for money can't go wrong with this product .

Great value for money. It's pretty much straight out of the box but I'd recommend reading the instruction manual too.

Been installed for 3 months now, no false alarms but works when I forget to disarm. Fantastic for the price.
