Cheap Skylink HA-100 Household Alert Kit with Indoor/Outdoor Motion Detector and Garage Door Sensor Review
I installed this systen yesterday in the garage and it works fine for me. No false alarms so far.
Setup was easy. I would suggest reading the instructions. The instructions show how to setup the codes in all three units. I would suggest not leaving the code in the default position. A tool to move the jumper pins to set the code is included in the package.
You will need a 9V battery for the motions sensor. A watch battery is included for the garage door sensor. The receiver uses an AC adapter.
The garage door sensor is stuck on the metal frame. Cleaning the surface is very important to get a good solid installation. Just for grins, I wrapped a plastic tie strap around the sensor to make sure it won't fall off in case the adhesive should break down.
There is a platic cover that comes with the garage sensor that looks like it's part of the packaging. DO NOT RIP IT UP! After you install the battery, the plastic cover goes back on to protect the sensor agains moisture.
The motion sensor is pretty sensitive and covers a very wide range. It trips very easily which is good.
When the garage door sensor is tripped, the receiver sounds a intermittent beep. When the motion sensor is tripped, you get a series of two beeps. This way you can audibly tell the difference on which sensor was tripped.
There are three levels of volume on the receiver: High, low and off. The low volume is perfect for indoors because it's not extremely loud but yet still very easy to hear. The high volume is a bit louder in case you need to hear it in other rooms. When the volume is off, there are still red lights on the receiver to let you know something got tripped.
I don't quite understand the bad reviews. My system works perfect out of the box.
