My only issue with this system is that the Alarm is not really loud. Its loud but it's not as loud as my smoke detector which has a really loud piercing sound. This system will wake a person up if someone comes in but a means of adding an additional speaker would really help. I'm more interested in scaring an intruder off without pointing my gun at them. Overall a good system. The technology is solid and I tested all the sensors to make sure they work. So far except for the Alarm sound volume this was a good purchase. If you need to secure a small house or an apartment this is just the system to use. The price is great. My neighbor bought one of the simply systems and paid big bucks for the same technology. This would be great for college students in apartments or even in a dorm room.

I bought this system because I didn't want to spend a fortune on a big brand nor did I want another big monthly bill. It has many pros and cons. The unit itself is deserving of a 4 star review. The app though is along the lines of a 2 star review. I am reviewing the product as a whole system (alarm and app) with a 3 star rating because that's how it was advertised and why I bought it. Here is my list of pros and cons. Pros: -Affordable -Easy to set up and program to the app -Expandable with more 433mhz devices, I've ordered 2 smoke detectors that should pair with it. -Very loud -Battery back up -Wi-Fi Internet connection -Wireless sensors easy to install -Motion sensor works great and no false alarms so far. -Door and window sensors have always worked every time I test them. I've never had one not set off the alarm. -Push notifications are very fast -Ability to arm and disarm from phone through app. Cons: -The app is not that great. -App push notifications are VERY quiet and the volume can't be raised or the ring tone changed. So it's easy to miss a push notification. -The home feature on the app does NOT work. The system is either on or off. Certain sensors can be set to permanent protection but if that's done it still triggers an alarm with the system off. I contacted the app people about it and they said they "sent it to their techs" -To get texts or calls you must pay a monthly subscription - And the BIGGEST CON that really ticks me off but I can't prove it is the app gave out my email to SPAM and CON email companies. As soon as I signed up for the service I started getting tons of junk email and emails posing as other companies like PayPal trying to steal my personal information. I'm pretty sure that maybe another app would work. I used the Smart Life app which is what the alarm recommended. I tried Tuya but it's identical to Smart Life and I'm pretty sure it is the same people. The home feature on Tuya didn't work either and the app was bigger so I went back to Smart Life I do recommend if you sign up on the app to make a different email from your primary and to use it, and to leave the phone number blank. I mainly bought this as a loud noise deterrent. I'm pretty sure that if a burglar ever entered my home they wouldn't know what type of system it is making the noise or if it's monitored and has alerted the police. Plus I wanted something to wake me if someone tried to enter my home when I sleeping or alert me if I am taking a shower. It works great in those two aspects. But in the app support area and the ability to switch to at home mode being non functioning I'm really disappointed. But hey it's 50 bucks, no monthly bills, and is better than nothing. Maybe one day I'll go with a name brand but for the time being this works. If you are wanting an entry level security system to mostly make noise and wake you or let you know someone is entering the other end of the house this thing is nice. If you want a fancy system that alerts you on your phone when you're away from home and you'll never miss an alert don't count on this one. Read full review

The instructions need better order and explanations. The hard drive is not included, but necessary for recording and playback. The proper hard drive requires research since the instructions lack guidance. This could be why the cost is lowered. The App for internet access has poor support and no access to a helpline. Once these hurdles are conquered, the equipment works as it should. Not advisable for the novice, vonsider help and suppot.
