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.

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.

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.

Great bit of kit and works well. Only wish I gone with the key pad and not the touchscreen. Find it hard to see first thing in the morning.

I gave a lot of thought to changing my 20 year old security system. I spent 3 months looking at self installed systems before buying my yale system. It was everything claimed. Easy to fit, easy to use and is proving very reliable.

Good product but ,in my opinion, the Yale installation and programming instructions could be a lot clearer. Still struggling to get electronic fobs to work.

This alarm was purchased to go into a new house, straight out of the box the parts show good quality and the instruction manual is very extensive and takes you step by step through the initial set up and provides clear operating instructions. Installation was very simple, following the instructions you couldn't go wrong, all fixings are supplied in the box. If the alarm is activated it will call up to 3 programmed numbers to let you know, the door contacts are activated every time the door is opened, even when not alarmed, which is great if the little ones let themselves into the garden. We have had the alarm installed for a few months now and have never had a false activation

Good product for the price, my only criticism is the manual and online guidance particularly when adding extra sensors.
It is far easier to clear all sensors at start then add them naming each one as you set them up.
Good service from Safe.co.uk

I have installed Five of the easy fit Yale easy fit alarms for family and friends, I am qualified electrician and after installation friends and family have been very pleased with the product after there old alarm systems have fail due to age the Yale easy fit is a quick harf day install if you have a pair of long ladders and a sharp drill bit.
The only extra thing I needed extra after experience installing the system would be 2.5mm metal drill bit if putting door sensors on a metal/PVC door frame which you get in most modern house obviously the drilled hole is used as pilot hole any smaller and the screws will snap.
I would also suggest getting the remote control key fob as part of the install as this make the day to day use of the alarm so much easier and there only £20 which

An excellent, easy to install alarm system which is straightforward to use and readily accepts additional sensors (eg an additional entry/alarm setting keypad and door sensors for the rear of the house) - simply follow the instructions supplied. The system has many more functions available than most users will need or want, but it's simple to set up and does its' job very well. The highly visible outside siren unit is an obvious and effective deterrent against visitors of dubious character who might be showing an unwanted interest in your home, and if the alarm does go off, you and your close neighbours will definitely know about it.....which is exactly what you need and the 2nd reason (after the deterrent) for having an alarm installed the first place. This is a very good quality product from a well-respected manufacturer, and does what it says on the tin effectively and at a price which is good value for money
