Strobe Wireless Security System Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We bought this security system about 6 months ago to work in conjunction with our other security system. I really like having a motion sensor that I can set at night that would detect any motion without being too sensitive. I love that it has a battery backup option in case the power goes out it still does its job. I feel safe with my Strobe Wireless Security System. The few times I have accidentally set it off it without a doubt delivered the most ear piercing alarm and strobe feature.

Intermatic SP130B Magnetic Trip Wireless Alarm with Keypad Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was waiting in anticipation for this product as I have a 14 year old son who has a tendency to climb in and out of his window seeking new and adventurous outings without prior approval. When I received the wireless alarms (I purchased two) I wanted to place one on his window as an immediate deterrent of these episodes. After reading the instructions I looked for the small screwdriver that it was said to come with for easy installation. It didn't have one. No big deal. I have a screwdriver. I placed in the batteries and following the instructions set my 4 digit code. It accepted it and worked wonderfully well for the part of disarming it to enter through a door and setting itself off after 30 seconds or so if the correct code wasn't entered properly. It also had a feature to push the number 4 to get in and out of a door quickly without setting it off as long as the code was entered or it was back in place next to the magnetic do-jobbie within a certain amount of time. Unfortunately I was unable to get it to set itself off simply by sliding the magnet away from the device as it would do if someone entered without the prior knowledge of it being there or attempting to disarm it or previously pushing the number four. After several attempts to set it off this way I decided that by some miracle it may work if I went ahead and installed it. (I had reprogrammed it several times thinking there was a mistake with that which there was not). We have pretty standard newer windows with the double glass and plastic frame which are fairly common in homes built with your basic floor plan. I was totally unable to find a way to attach this to the inside of our windows in a fashion in which it would possibly work if it indeed HAD worked properly. It seems that I would have no problem attaching it to a door unless it was maybe on an inner door or the sunken side of the frame. Yet even with that it clearly was not going to work if someone simply opened the door, walked through and shut the door. It would not set off the alarm when the magnetic seal was broken. Hoping it was just a flawed item I opened the 2nd one and had the same problem (also with out the "included" screwdriver). I read and re-read the the paperwork believing there must be some simple answer to these delusive instructions but to no avail. They now decorate a secluded corner of a junk drawer in my workbench. I put a keyed window lock on the window for the moment but will continue to search for a better alternative (without installing an entire expensive security system) due to the fire saftey issue of having to lock the window with actual hardware. If anyone gets these to work, please post a reply as I will continue to check back in hopes that I may resurrect these items from the "junk drawer grave". Good luck... and may the force be with you.

Ultra 57002/57000 Nickel Patio Door Security Night Lock Pin Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is one of the simplest, cheapest, and most effective locks for sliding exterior doors, sliding interior closet doors (such as for baby proofing) and many types of sliding windows.
For external security it prevents the door (or window) from being pryed open, as well as from being lifted out. It is very easy to install, all you need is a drill.
I actually couldn't find this lock at our local home depot, which is why I bought it on Amazon.
I just wish it came in brass.

GE 45130 Choice-Alert Wireless Garage Door Sensor Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Works great after your realize the 150 feet remote range is questionable. It took us 2 weeks to figure out we had to move the control box closer to the remotes. Works great now and lets us know if either door is open or closed from living room. We don't have to go downstairs to check. Also I didn't realize remotes don't come with control box and had to order seperately after the fact.

The GE 45130 Garage Door Sensor can work alongside other wireless Choice Alert components as part of a GE Choice Alert Wireless Alarm System.
Part of the GE Choice Alert Wireless Alarm SystemThe GE 45130 Garage Door Sensor is part of the GE Choice Alert Wireless Alarm System line of products.

As many as four sensors can be programmed in each of four zones, giving you the security of up to 16 sensors to guard your entire home, including sensors for doors, windows, gates, water leaks, and motion detection.
The Wireless Control Center allows you to secure your system with a custom four-digit code that can be changed at any time. Plus, the center lets you control many system features. For example, you can select 'Home' mode for an instant alarm and 'Away' mode for a delayed alarm.

80-649-3N-XT - GE SIMON XT WIRELESS Security System Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)For those who can't follow cooking recipes or simple instructions perhaps it may be too difficult for you and if so go to [...] and get a pre-programmed system for another [...]$. For anyone else who isn't challenged this is a great system that gives you quite a few options if you consider all the devices that are compatible.
It took me about 2 hours from start to finish to install the telephone, power, and about 12 wireless detection devices. I purchased at safemart and they do support the device as well as being very helpful, I highly recommend.
This can sync up with your thermostat, lighting, internet monitoring...etc.
Instead of paying [...]$ a month through Brinks/ADT/Gaurdian you can get independent monitoring which is exactly the same. I highly recommend this and feel confident with my purchase.

Panasonic Wireless Network Camera and Pet Cam (BL-C20A) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Compact, very easy to set up and the image is sharp and clear. Free DDNS service makes this the best buy. I have another camera, Linksys, and I had to pay for this service. I defitely will drop it when it comes up for renewal. No more Linksys camera for me!
After a few days of use..I still love it! I just found out that I can access the camera with my Mac via Firefox browser. This alone beats all other cameras in the market! Set up the motion detector to email pictures is a breeze. You can also set the camera to periodically send a picture, motion or not. The only thing that you could say it is less than the Linksys is it could not send a video. Linksys video only lasts 30 seconds anyway. Highly recommended.
8/21/08: I have 2 of these cameras and the first one (3 yrs old) just failed. It is just not powered up doesn't matter how many times I tried. I guess it is expected. It has been reliably in service for 3 yrs. I will buy it again, when Amazon has a good deal.
The camera's software works flawlessly in Mac OS. I regularly access my camera via Safari web browser. This alone beats most other camera out there. You can get to it from either Windows or Mac. I set it up to email the jpeg to my Blackberry and view the picture there. Could not figure out how to do this on an iPod though.
3/20/09: When the 2nd camera failed, I thought the power supply was the culprit. I bought a $15 power supply from W**T and guess what? It works again. So I now both of my cameras work again! If your camera failed, likely it is the power supply!
Also, I can access my cameras from my iPod touch (live) using the supplied Safari browser when I have a wifi connection. COOL!!

Logitech WiLife Digital Video Security--Hidden Master System Camera Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)There are three sets that are nearly identical, and differ only in the type of camera: this one (hidden camera), the outdoor starter kit, and the indoor starter kid. for more comprehensive reviews, look at those other kits as well.
As for my opinion, this set does what it says it does in a pretty seamless fashion: you install the software, plug the camera into the wall, plug a USB adapter into the wall and your computer, make some minor configuration changes and you are all set. I have no doubt we could have gotten a better system cheaper but not one as seamlessly integrated.
We looked at many different systems and bought this one instead because:
- most spy cams broadcast for TV...you then need a TV/VCR to record, or a separately purchased adapter to make it work with your computer, and we weren't technically confident enough to want to buy different pieces and figure out how to get them working together
- some spy cams are self-recording (they contain memory internally) but these tend to be pricey AND they limit how much you can record; they will fill up if you don't clear them out regularly, and for our purposes that wasn't practical
- most "wireless" spy cams work on a WiFi wireless network, which is great if you have one, but we wanted this for use in a place we didn't have wifi; this one works by transmitting over your home or office electrical system.
- the cost of the system includes a website you can set up to view your camera remotely (although if you have a firewall you'll only be able to watch 3 minute pieces; if the system can connect directly, which might require configuring your router which some people will find daunting, you can watch constantly). So, that said, here are some cons:
- only works on PCs, not macs
- 95% of the configuration is a piece of cake, but some aspects are confusing, like how to schedule alerts, and setting up for emailing alerts
- the program has many features that are in the program but you can't click on them -- they are there as advertisements for a "platinum" version of the software that costs $80 a year. It's annoying to have a screen full of buttons you aren't able to click, and to have advertising be such a prevalent portion of the interface
- this one is kind of petty, but it would be nice of the clock that hides the camera had an alarm, since we had to remove a "real" clock in place of this one
- the camera is fine for security, but the image is kind of strange - it appears to be infrared? Which means the colors are bizarre. Reds turn yellow, greens and blues turn white. Which is probably fine for security purposes, but don't be expecting to get a high quality video out of it

Wireless Security Camera System DVR Infrared Surveillance (4) Quad View Quad Display 2.4ghz Night Vision Real Time Color Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I took a chance and bought this system mainly for the 4 cameras at such a low price. I shouldn't have. The instructions were written by someone very unfamiliar with the English language. Two of the four cameras didn't work. The transmission was supposed to be 330 feet; I was unable to get over 80 feet. The night vision might have been good for 10 feet, and I'm being generous. There was only one review when I bought this system. It was a good review. I think it was written by the manufacturer because no one else since then has had any luck with this product. Don't waste you money on this. I have recently bought the Uniden system and it works like a jewel. Oh, by the way, it cost me $21 bucks to send this junk back. Amazon gave me an expedited refund so I have no complaint with them. But this system is not worth $20, much less over $200.

Brinno PHV132512 Electronic PeepHole Viewer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The setup was incredibly simple, exactly as shown in video. I'm a 53 yo woman with absolutely NO handy-man skills whatsoever, and if I could install it in 5 minutes, anyone could!
I've only had it one day, so can't attest to the longevity of this product yet, but I've had the opportunity to view it both at day and night (with porch light on). The picture is very good, in color, and the zoom lets me zoom into the area that's about 25 yards in front of it. It works PRECISELY as described, and I feel 10 times more secure about seeing who is at my door than I did with the standard, crappy peephole. I can see the picture on the screen even when standing 10 feet away from the door -- except you need to walk up to the door to press the button to turn it on.
The only thing that I don't like is when you push the button, it makes a slight click noise, and I'm not sure if someone outside the door could hear that -- probably not, but it should have been designed with totally silent operation.
The only other suggestion I have would be to have a remote so you could turn it on remotely without even having to walk up to the door. Other than those two things (and believe me, the pros of this viewer FAR OUTWEIGH those puny issues), I am absolutely satisfied (on day one) with this viewer.
You must have the porchlight on to see anything at night. With the porchlight off, the screen is totally black - so it does need light. However, with the porchlight on, the view close up to my door is spectacular. The view out away from the door, where the area is dark, is zero at night -- but you can see perfectly who is at your door with a light on.
If the batteries run low, it's easy to turn the viewer and it comes off to change the batteries. Even without the viewer in place, you can still see through the peephole, as with a standard peephole viewer - so if you run out of batteries, you are not left without a view until you can buy more batteries - simply remove the viewer, and use it as a standard peephole. Even without the viewer, the range is much broader and clear than a standard peephole.
From the outside, it looks just like a regular peephole, except the person on the outside can NOT tell when you are looking because there is always something over the hole (the viewer). With standard peepholes, the person outside can tell when you move up close to look out, but not with this one.
The viewer remains on for a few seconds after you turn it on, and if you want it on longer, simply keep pressing it between zoom and regular mode. I like it that it turns off after about 5 seconds, as that's really all you normally need, and it saves on the batteries.
I like to use it to "just look out there" if I hear something, and want to see what's going on without opening the door -- so it's not only good when someone rings your bell, but also to just keep an occasional eye on what's occuring "out there" in front of your door and beyond, as well a broad view on each side.
I am totally pleased, and would highly recommend this viewer to anyone who really needs to see who is outside, without letting the visitor know you are looking -- and who needs to have a broader view. Great purhcase -- one of my favorites in a long, long time!

GE AccessPoint 001413 KeySafe Original 2-Key Slimline Pushbutton Combination Key Box, White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Keep this out of sight, as it tells everyone "hey, there's house keys in here."
Pro:
-Beefy... very heavy duty
-Easy to install in a few minutes
-Quick and easy to set the code (quick and easy to change too)
-Code can be more (or less) than 4 digits. I think that you can choose any combination of 1-10 digits in your code. Also, while you can technically reuse numbers, they're meaningless. That is, 7787 would open with just 87 or 78 (order is not important).
-White is a nice color
-Holds our Mul-T-Lock key which is larger than most, with room for more
-Keys can be attached to the unit face (which removes when unlocked) so if you drop the key it is less likely to get lost
-We think that this is the same item sometimes featured on the "It Takes a Thief" TV show
Con:
-No other colors (would have loved tan or black)
-I needed additional hardware (anchors) for my install
-Sequence is not important to the code... that is 1234 opens code 2314. This effectively reduces the number of codes available to thieves.
-Also using any number in your code more than once is meaningless. For example if you like the code 224424, 24 would open your lock (also 42 or any combination of 2 and 4 would as sequence is unimportant).
-Code can be a little hard to see when setting... be sure to have good light and your glasses
Bottom Line: Recommended. Use with other home security items (key cabinet, charlie bar, alarm system, etc.).

GE 45129 Choice-Alert Wireless Control Center Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The idea is great, an easy-to-install wireless alarm system that notifies you and your neighbors (if you have at least one additional siren and a neighbor) of a breakin. However, there is one serious design flaw.
The base unit is what communicates with all sensors and extra sirens. When in AWAY mode (mode you use when away from home), the unit will beep for 30 seconds after an intrusion has been detected (designed to allow you to get in and deactivate it before the alarm sounds). But the beeping can lead a burglar to the control unit and all he has to do is unplug the unit and take out the battery (or just slam the thing so hard it breaks) therefore stopping the alarm from ever going off.
The flaw could have easily been avoided (or at least lessened)if the battery cover simply had 4 to 6 screws attaching it to the unit. That way, the burglar would at least have to struggle to keep it from sounding the alarm.
Or, another design that would have helped would be if the unit was mounted to a wall where a burglar could not easily get to the battery compartment. It is designed to sit on a table.
Other than that, this is a great item to own. While in HOME mode (while you are in for the night), ANY intrusion detected will activate the alarm immediately. This really helps you to feel more safe at night.

Combine Components for Total Home CoverageThere are several components available for use with the Wireless Control Center, including a door/window sensor, motion detector, water leak sensor, secondary audio alarm siren, signal repeater (for enhanced wireless range), garage door sensor, and Silent Alert LED indicator.. Add up to 16 sensors and give yourself the peace of mind that only complete home protection can provide.
Quick and Easy Pairing With Choice Alert SensorsThe Wireless Control Center features a dedicated "Learn" button that lets you easily pair Choice Alert Sensors within a matter of seconds. The process for disabling sensors is just as simple, making for hassle-free customization of your Choice Alert Security System. There's also a dedicated switch for toggling between 'Alert', 'Chime', and 'Off' modes (affects Zones One, Two, and Three only).
The Control Center includes a special dedicated alert zone (Zone 4) that is always monitored, regardless of the alarm settings. This zone is ideal for sensors that alert you of water leaks and open garage, shed, freezer, or medicine cabinet doors--areas of your home that you want continually monitored with a silent alarm.
The GE 45129 Choice Alert Wireless Control Center is backed by a one-year limited warranty.

Door Security Bar, Model# 82-3997 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)For the cost of this item, it really is a great safety device. It attaches to the door nob and stretches out to the floor. When you try to open the door the resistence is great. Will it stop everyone trying to get into a locked door, maybe maybe not but currently I am very happy with this tool and I do recommend it.

LaserShield BSK-0013101 Home Security System Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I read the ad and purchased the system through Costco since they have a rep for an excellent price/value relationship.
Rating the unit-
Set-up = A. easy to read and follow instructions
Components = D.
a).Transmitters are physically large in relation to their function/operation. They are easy to spot by intuders.
b). base station. Alarm signal is loud enough to be a
nuisance. Perhaps it was designed to incapacitate intruders through laughter.
c). Sensitivity = F
I placed the 2 sensors in logical locations and "broke into" my own house with the system armed. I assumed that the intruder would come during the day. Any intruder with half a brain would see the sensors - they have a big red LED on the front.
Sadly, I was able to get by the sensors and gain access to all of the house by using very slow deliberate movements. It bears mentioning that I am 6'5" 250 lbs and that I moved within 5' of the front of one of the sensors without setting off the alarm.
Once I had decided to return the unit, I started moving more naturally to see what the threshold was for me to be detected.
I was not impressed, to say the least.
It is true that it would be hard to leave the house carrying
a TV or a sofa but intruders easily could have walked off with small valuables /jewelry/cash. In fact, without installation of a third sensor they could have opened the garage door and carried 1/2 of the first floor.
Unless your prospective intruders are remarkably clumsy, or ride (remarkably clumsy) elephants, there is no way this system would detect them.

LTS LTD08HTDK 8-Camera H.264 Realtime DVR Security System with 500GB, Mobile Phone Live View, VGA output Review

I searched around for a fairly decent surveilance system with a limited budget. I thought this was it. But, I soon discovered not everything is what it's cut out to be. When I received this system, I read over the box, before opening it to see if everything matched the description on Amazon.com. It looked good, then I opened the box and soon began to be disappointed. The packaging looks great, everything nice and clean, but I soon discovered the camera base & mount bracket were not the same as that pictured with the description! Then I started reading the manuals and looking at schematics provided, to find that the description is misleading in its portrail of what this system can do and how it does it, and customer service from the manufacturer is extremely disappointing. The company that provides this product has poor customer service, the sales staff does not know what they are doing or saying. The technical support is non-existent...you get a message to leave a call back number--they'll get in touch with you!???? What kind of technical support is that? If you do get lucky to talk with a tech, you quickly learn you made a bad choice--at least I did!
This 8-channel system only records in CIF--but you don't know that until you get the package! It boasts a Sony CCT camera, but it is only a analog camera with a Sony chip inside--no way to know for sure. The camera mounting bracket and base are cheap...it's not adjustable like shown in the description--it's a 5" tube with a base; and the length of the camera cables is shorter that the length of the mounting bracket with base, thus leaving the BNC connecters exposed and vulnerable to theft or disconnect/damage by any intruder. This system may be what others tout it to be, but my experience has been terrible and I would not recommend this item to anyone! Sorry Amazon.com, but this item did not live up to your reputation!
