Home Alarm System 9 piece kit

Although I have set up a number of wifi cameras, this is my first home security system and it was a bit more challenging for me. The basic set up was easy enough using the user's manual. The base station connected to the 2.4 Ghz band of my WiFi without issue and I was able to add each of the components. I already had the Smart Life app and it found the device. Initially I had an issue of constant SOS alerts which ended when I went to settings and turned "Remote Alert Notification" off--no idea why the remotes would send any notifications but apparently they did. There aren't too many sensors so I placed two on the exterior doors and two on what I considered the most vulnerable windows on the first floor. They all operate as they should. I placed the motion detector so that it would pick up activity in a large bay window area on the first floor and it works well there. I may add more sensors. Both the remotes and the keypad work exactly as intended. I am not an Alexa gal so I added the alarm system to Google Home and, due to operator error, proceeded to go crazy trying to get Google Assistant to operate the system because "she" kept demanding a "pin number". After some frustration I discovered that she wanted the Google pin number (I had to set one up). YOU MUST ENTER THE GOOGLE PIN NUMBER IN THE ALARM SYSTEM SETTINGS!!! This goes under "Google Password" even though it is NOT your Google password. Nowhere could I find a way to get around having a Google pin number and we could discuss whether Google is one of the tech firms taking over the world but I simply don't care now that it works my alarm system. If you are a tech wizard you may not run into any issues, but I had to be dogged to get a good system operating perfectly. I live in far from quick law enforcement response so the very loud alarm is hopefully a deterrent to criminals and the alert on my phone is an unmistakable chime. I recommend this alarm system for the money and I am glad I have it.

Its a must have if you have a need of a smart security system. Its quite easy to install and integrate with phone and Alexa/Google Home.I have found a lot of good features in this device.1. It came with 4 door/window sensors (and double sided tape).2. 1 motion sensor (works in dark as well).3. Base station which has very LOUD siren speaker and lights (works as night lamp too if you want).4. Can be controlled using Smart Life app, keypad or 2 keychain controllers. (I already had the app)5. All components came with batteries.6. The system is very responsive to sensors. No delay in alert if sensors detect an activity.7. App allows you to handle the system remotely very well.8. Entry Exit delay gives you a window to enter or exit without hitting the siren.9. You can schedule as well to automatically set the mode to Home, Away or Disarmed. Using Smart Life app you can create scenes e.g. with a weather scene you can turn on the siren if it's raining.10. Works flawlessly with Google Home.For home automation enthusiasts: For any DIY home automation projects also it can be used easily because for every event it sends a notification (configurable) and you can use it to trigger other devices. e.g. turning on/blinking your smart lights if an activity is detected by this system.Check out the included pictures and video.

I like that it is self monitoring, that is a plus, so tired of subscriptions and the cost of them. This system does provide a app to use, the app is sorta easy, but also gets stuck too, and you have to go out of the app and go back in. But allot of features that is useful. Putting this system in was not really user friendly because of the booklet, it is not great on explaining things. Also should include pictures of the way you should put up sensors, and the keypad, locations is a must to get a good coverage, and also what are the little screws for? I put all of it up with double-sided contact strips with the keypad. Just kinda different, then one of the sensors wouldn't work, troubleshooted and still not working. Contacted with email, no response at all from the company. So that is a loss of one, and I bought extra sensors for all my needs. Now I bought some more, hope they at least works. So kinda disappointed in it for installation yourself, the product will work well for my house, when I get more of it running. Would be great if you had videos on YouTube with all that you should do to start it up and placement of the products.

It was easy to setup after I realized I had to hold buttons down for 3 seconds and that it connects to 2.4 WiFi. I pre-allowed all of the access on the app and my phone so it connected easily. It's pretty loud. I have it by a window so the alarm will alert my neighbors. I adjusted it to go off for 25 mins. When you learn how to set it up, you'll like it. Update: Still works great. Battery in one sensor went out but I replaced it. I noticed people say no app. Get the SMARTHOME app. I still trust my alarm. It is a great addition to my ring products and other security items. My house is like fort Knox. And be patient during setup. Read and follow instructions carefully.

Has to have 100% wifi. In a rural area this can become expensive.

I hope everyone is taking the time to read the reviews, simply because they're hilarious and clearly staged. "I rEceNTly pUrChAsEd tHe GRISCO 5pc sYstEm aCcoMpAnIeD bY tHE WiFi gAtEwAy aNd WaS bLoWn aWaY bY iTs pErFeCtIon aNd CoSt eFfecTivEneSs"BUT... the system certainly does work. I basically just guided myself through the somewhat difficult app aimlessly and got lucky the first time because everything synced up and worked immediately. If you don't pay the 2 bucks per month you'll still get notifications. It does notify you immediately and I'm glad I bought it. The only thing I don't like about it is it's a one time use.. kinda? I was looking for something that sends me a little notification when the door is opened. And every time it opens. But instead you can only "arm" your system and if there's a breach, your system goes into SOS mode and you get the one notification and you HAVE to go to the app to either disarm or re-arm it every single time. I hope I worded that in a way that makes sense. Your phone will go off at the first "breach" but until you deal with it in the app, someone could open the second door or keep opening and closing the doors and the system doesn't register any of those because it's too busy in SOS mode. This could totally be fixed with an app update. I just want to set it to "monitor mode" (in theory) and it work as a self perpetuating "beep" machine every single time the door gets opened so I'm not forced to open the app every single time someone opens the door... that's all I got. Anyway, still worth the purchase, it's still awesome to have despite my complaint.

I did the research I read the reviews no where was there a mention that it will not work on newer phones I tried 3or4 times to setup my roommate tried and it connected to his phone but he didn't want the app on his phone so we uninstalled it and I tried again... same results it times out before the connection completes. I gave this 3 starz because it arrived quickly and it looked like it was going to be a great security system. I would love to tell you how awful or awesome it is 🤔🤔 beware some of the other systems use the same app which may not work either

I was not very bright and always thought that the red flag on mailboxes were for "You got mail!". I called the post office and he explained my mistake. He told me that I can find mechanical devices that are yellow. That pop up when the door is opened. They ran from 18-30+ dollars.They also sell dedicated electronic devices that notify you when the box has been opened. those ran from 35-60+ dollars. Some had 600 foot ranges. I am on a very tight budget. I am always looking for ways that I can adapt that do the same job at a cheaper price.I came across this system. It was WiFi, came with an app, and was $22 after the discount. I couldn't get the app to discover the Gateway. But it was there after it said that it failed. It worked, sort of. The Gateway would constantly go into SOS mode(triggered). Now I know that it says that it's for 2.4g and I have only 5g for now. So I thought that might be the issue. I called Spectrum and they set my router to 2.4g for 1 hour(max time). There was no change. So 5g was not the problem.Also, I could not get Alexa to discover it. Again phoned Spectrum to set my network to 2.4g. No luck, I kept getting the same message. That Alexa could not complete my request at this time. I then noticed that Bing set itself as the default browser. And the connection to Alexa was going through Bing. I then changed my default browser to Chrome and Bingo. Everything connected flawlessly except for the constant SOS alarms. 100s of them.So I took a chance that I get a defective Gateway. The replacement came today. Bingo, no false alarms. Then came the last hurdle. I don't know if it's in the instructions or not. But the device was not triggering when the door was opened. No matter how hard that I tried. I wondered if perhaps the metal box caused interference with the magnetic field. Nope, it has to be placed on a particular side. Once I turned it upside down it works perfectly. Couldn't be happier. No more walking in the rain to find no mail.To sum up. It will work with 5g. Use Chrome as your default browser. And make sure that the correct side is facing the magnet. This is how it worked for me. If I have issues in the future I will update my review. But it's a basic system. So I don't expect any issues going forward.

Good ,but alaram backup is not upto the mark

Lo recibí antes de la fecha, llegó muy bien protegido y completo.La instalación muy fácil ya que incluye pegatinas 3M para fijar los sensores de apertura, todo el sistema incluye baterías incluyendo la base con una batería recargable.La aplicación de teléfono reconoció muy rápido el sistema y no tuve que hacer nada adicional para conectarlo.
