Many pros but one big con:

Pros: 1) Very easy to set-up and to add other accessories, 2) App is easy to use, 3) Sensors are quite responsive.

Con: Biggest con is that if the alarm is set off, then all the app does is send you an email. This seems like a major oversight - I would have expected it to give a direct phone notification with a loud alarm, after all it is a burglar alarm. Hence, all pros mentioned become a bit redundant, unless you're someone who religiously checks their emails.

Whilst the alarm system itself is good the camera type detectors are rubbish as the two I have (one stills and one video) don't work anymore, and the actual quality of the images that the cameras produce is very low quality considering what we all expect from video products these days. This is the reason that I wouldn't really be able to recommend this system particularly if someone wanted to be able to monitor activity in the property after an activation which is one of the design principles of the model that I purchased. Apart from all that the system is easy to setup and operate, so as a basic alarm system it's pretty good.

Great piece of kit and simple to use.

Alarm was installed by an engineer who took his time to show us how to use the alarm, the camera feature and then set up the app on our phones. The alarm is very load and instantly tells you where the security breach is via the phone app. You can even remotely arms and disarm alarm via your phone app plus control a lamp via plugged into your mains socket which is very convienance. The great thing about the package deal is you get door and window sensors. The system also let's you easily add additional sensors later on if you wish. Is this all done wirelessly of course so no need to route wires.

The inventors of the Yale Smart Living Intruder alarm system have taken advantage of the World Wide Web to create a system which bridges the gap between the old domestic intruder alarm systems and fully monitored Central Station intruder alarm systems.

One of the best results of using this alarm system is that it reduces 'fear of crime' because home owners are in control of the processes of Setting, monitoring and responding to any activation generated by the system.

Following a burglary my wife was reluctant to leave our house unoccupied however, after fitting the Yale Smart Living system, our lives began to return to normal.

Easy to install. Convenient to use via online app access. Adequate and easy to understand instruction manual. Never had any problem so far since installed. Peace of mind when away.

We had the installation service fit the system, which was really a waste of time since it is so simple to install. The email every time it is armed and disarmed works well. The camera quality is not brilliant as the sensor was positioned facing the door so it looks into the light when the door is opened. When I next decorate I will move it to be adjacent to the opening. The coverage around the house is good and since I have a spare door contact I will try it on the garage side door. Order extra key fobs as they are brilliant.

Yale is a global brand tried and tested, one of THE best in the industry and this alarm system is so easy to use ! I got some ridiculous quotes and whilst sceptical I purchased this alarm and I cannot be happier with it. Highly recommended!!

The process from purchasing to delivery was simple, effective and quick. Once delivered the installation was straight forward, especially once you have downloaded the app. I thought the camera PIR would allow for live monitoring, but it is for image capturing once the alarm is triggered in that area, this works well, as in the first week walking downstairs still half asleep I accidentally triggered it. When it goes off the camera PIR resembles a speed camera with its random flashing and the noise of the alarm both internally and externally is more than loud enough to wake the street! Having the ability to part arm at night really provides peace of mind, just remember to switch off in the morning before entering any rooms or opening the front door... would definitely recommend, had an ADT alarm before and the Yale is as good, but easier to use, without a monthly contract.

Fantastic bit of kit to give you piece of mind that your home is safe and secure.

Once got all the bits out the box and the tools needed it took just over an hour to set it all up that includes setting up the app on our phones which was also easy enough to do.

From the app on our phones we are even able to take a picture from one of the pirs which downstairs in our living room means we can check in on our puppy while we pop out to the shop. If the alarm goes off we get instant texts and Emile to our phones telling the alarm has been triggered and in what zone. If happy it's nothing serious (I.e) the puppy we can just disarm an reset the alarm at ease.
