Still helping people with this video mate, I just ordered one for the garage and the instructions were even more sparse! Didn't even have the coding numbers so this is fantastic up and running now
Hello! Would you happen to have a copy of the user manual? I bought a house with this alarm system in it and it's asking for the password what I don't have. Thanks!
The first 8 minutes look great! This has to be the best video on the subject. Oh, the mail lady just showed up with the system, so I'll watch more later as I try to program it. Thanks so much for the video. Keep up the great work!
Hello, everything you describe is commonly available in the user manual. I would like to know how to change the content of the sms that the alarm sends e.g. during an alarm. Somehow it must be easy. The alarm is sold in different languages and the service pins on the back are brought out. I modified all the audio messages, just look in the datasheet of the GSM modem used. Unfortunately the SMS are stored in the control processor and it also sends them to the GSM modem in PDU mode. Do you know how to do it?
Hi all I have set up one of this alarm it’s great but only problem is indoor sensor flash even I’m indoor when I look it’s not alarm or anything just kill battery for nothing. I read information but can’t find any information about. While alarm off and I’m indoor is this sensors can be turned off and turned on when I alarmed or not. .? Many thanks
SupremeGadgets, I just bought a same thing of this OEM security alarm. I have 1 question: The keypad require power supply and it has a on/off switch at the back of it; so if the burglar entered my house go towards the keypad, pull of the power cable and turn off the switch; then the siren will be off and there are nothing we can do for this cons ya?
Thank you so much for creating and posting this video. The included instructions are less than crystal clear. I really appreciate your taking the time to do this.
Hi , I found your video interesting and informative , however can you possibly advise if hard wired n/o or n/c inputs can be accommodated such as a pnp proximity switch ? Thanks
nice to finally find a video but the issue is a lot of the other settings have not be addressed. I want to add a doorbell. What about home zone only and away zone only. What about arming the alarm when away.
@@radon_officially That is what mine did. I had tested it. Furthermore, I received a text when the alarm was triggered, and on arriving home a while later... it was still going
Where do you mount the control box? it has to be accessible in order to activate/deactivate. But, if it's accessible then so is the siren that's connected to it and all a burglar has to do is cut the wires to the siren during the delay period to stop it. This is especially true if you do not use the external box. What's the solution?
+pigsbishop99 First of all the Main Host should be mounted in every pleace that has strong signal , if u want to activate/deactivate from the panel mount it near the entrance if ur worried about cutting the wire u can add another wire and take the siren in a long distance(i tried 10m), but if u want my advise dont worry about the siren , worry about transsmision of the SMS/Call and about the distance between the wireless device and the main hot
Best review out there. Although you missed a step. Host keypad lock setting 6666#401# Otherwise your password will not be needed to un-arm. Also location of siren wires go to BZ- and BZ+ on the right side of rear connections. I clear caulked the battery power switch behind the main keypad unit so it stays ON. Clear caulked battery door on main keypad unit also. We don't need to make things easy for intruders.
Fantastic video...had the system set up in 25 minutes, just leaving me to affix the sensors and switches in the desired positions! Awesome! Take a pat on the back!
Hi Mike. How can the system be programed to the smoke detector will send an SMS signal even when the alarm in in the disarm state? Example a 24 hr. protection for panic, or fire.
Do you need to insert the sim card pin? I have the sim card from the portuguese operator MEO, and the indication of the activated network does not appear
I have a couple of questions 1. Will this system work In a country outside of the us? I have a vacation home in Mexico but live in the USA. 2. Would I be notified if the alarm goes off in my cellphone my phone back home in the USA? 3. Can I activate and deactivate the alarm by phone? For example if the alarm goes off
+Live to inspire hi. Unfortunately I don't have any experience of this system outside of using it in the UK. I can't see why it wouldn't work in Mexico though with a Mexican SIM. I would think you'd be able have it call your US cellphone so long as you add the country code to the beginning of the number while setting up the alarm. And finally yes you can activate/deactivate the alarm through your phone by calling/texting the alarm. Hope that helps.
Sorry, yet another question....How do I set a bed time set where I want everything on (Door Switches and PIR's) apart from the sensor at the top of the stairs so we can walk about freely to the bathroom at night? It sounds like it should be on the HOME ALARM set but with the PIR's working apart from the one I have mentioned?????
Did you ever get an answer? Somehow I turn off the voice prompt and I don't know how to turn it back on. Please let me know if you find the right code to do this. Thank you.
You can open it and disconnect the speaker wire, it will disable any voice from the system, I recommend to do it after you set it up so you will get feedback. What I did was to add small on/off switch to the speaker and glued it inside the battery case so I can turn the system speaker on if I want to... Do it at your own risk...
Just bought this kit. Thank you for this video. Like yourselves, would have taken time to suss the manual, but by following your instruction, I set it up in no time. Regarding external siren alarm, I'd agree with you, but I'm putting it in place purely as a visual deterrent. I also agree that it doesn't look very waterproof at the rear, what I have done, is apply silicone sealant around it. It may work it may not, but for anyone wishing to use the siren, this may be one way of extending its longevity.
Does anyone know if you can add the sim after the unit has been set up and how this is done. is it just a matter of inserting it and setting up the numbers?
Just bought this system for my house. My only problem is if I arm the host and not turn on the senosr on app the system doesnt work. Also if I disarm the host when the sensors are on the alarm will still come. How can the system work through the host
Can anyone help. Every time a sensor is triggered when the system is NOT armed, it sets off the external outside alarm (the same as the one shown at 6:37 in this video). But when the system is armed the sensors trigger the host alarm inside, but that doesn't set off the outside alarm.
hi super video..can u please tell me how to set up the exterior wireless alarm with the center? also any idea why it wont keep the time every time i push all the right keys, it doesnt keep the time.... thanks a lot...
Just a little tip: There's more than one variant of these systems floating around. I misplaced the original instructions and got perplexed when some of the codes from the manual I downloaded wouldn't work. The default password is different too (6666 vs 8888). It doesn't help there's no make/model written on the systems either. So download more than one manual if you find some of the codes don't work as expected. It's a case of trial and error.
Hi Mikey....thinking of getting one of these kits...see you have had it a few years now...how reliable has it been. I presume you don't need to use the SIM card part of it if you don't want to. Is that correct in that you cant set the alarm to turn off if triggered after a certain time....would it sound for hours and hours if your not home....that would not be good. Nick.
nickjaxe you are correct, I just bought this system and my main concern is having the alarm sound for hours if for any reason I stay out of my home for long time while working, it would be awesome if I could set the alarm to sound just 40 seconds when activated
@@garyzamudio9586 Hi Gary...so thats not good...I suppose I could buy an extra key fob and give it to my neighbor for them to turn it off it it triggers...but still far from ideal. Have you installed the Alarm yet Gary...if yes be interested in your feed back. I was good to buy the smaller external sounder...did you choose that option.
nickjaxe I haven't heard about the smaller external sounder, I install the normal version and it works well, I Don t install any SIM card just the alarm system with out it, and works very well, the siren is very loud but for me is hard to understand why the makers of this system put many options to personalize the system but dot put the option to stop sound the alarm after some seconds, now I believe my only option left is activate the SIM card to get message in my phone that way I can go back home in case alarm is activated but I would prefer do not. mess with SIM card thing because I read reviews about it say in is difficult
This unit accept 10 sec voice recording. Do you know under which condition this voice recording is heard after host sounds alarm? When the unit call the preset numbers does not announce the voice recording message.
Hi what happens if say the thief's brake in then switch the alarm control box off or even rip the sensor down and turn it off there's enoght time to do it
great video but i cant seem to get the alarm to arm and disarm with a code i just have to push arm or disarm buttons ive tried the instruction 38 then a code but wont accept thanks
I have what looks like the same GSM Alarm System. Everything seems to be working OK with the external siren wire connected. Without this siren connected I hear nothing from the Alarm Control Panel (ACP). I thought there was a way to make the speakers in the ACP sound the alarm,. Is there an advantage putting different door sensors on different zones (or is it even possible)?
Mines stopped detecting the IR sensors after a few months. Tried Batteries were replaced and tried removing/re-adding them but neither is detected when I trigger them. Both my IR sensors were indoors so I don't understand why they stopped working. My guesses is it's something faulty with the panel, doubt both sensors would go bad.
just a question? what way up does the pir fit ? the writing on the back and the mounting bracket suggests the window being on the bottom with the led above .. what you think?
Could you tell me how to go about setting"home mode"? I know it's set via the lightning bolt on the key fob, but when I press it, it arms the alarm but goes off soon as one of the passives is activated, I thought pressing the button is all that is required but appears not, any help would be great
What about time delay from breach of security to sending text or telephoning ? Is that the same as key pad entry with pin number or is that something different. Also do you have a list of all codes my book seems have gone walkabout. You would think by now the manual would have been updated to make sense ?
What the reviewer describes as a battery compartment on the siren is in fact where the pairing button is situated. No batteries go in there. What he calls clips for wiring sensors are in fact resistors which are used when wired sensors are used.
Hi - very good video and thanks. Unable to set the panel user code on mine. Wondering if mine is faulty or if there is a master reset code that resets back to factory settings ie unscrews everything. Many thanks
Hi, My question might have been answered already but I'm slightly stuck. When I'm asleep in bed I want the alarm to go off instantly if the sensor is intruded or someone tries to enter. Then I want about 30 seconds to type in the code when I come home in the evenings without the alarm going off. Is it possible to have both as I just seem to have the beeping without any siren for both which doesn't make much sense if someone intrudes the siren doesnt go off... but when I try and change it, I get the siren the second I come home in the evenings. What codes etc do I press to change all this? Many thanks!
Where can I find the manual you are using. There is no manual with the unit I received, just an incomprehensible and ironically-named "Quick" Installation Manual. Specifically, the method you show to set a disarm code does not seem to work. I go through the procedure, but still I can disarm it just by hitting the "disarm" button. Second problem is the SIM Card. I bought one and activated it, but apparently it needs some "APN" settings before it will function, and I haven't the slightest clue how to do that. And finally, of course, thanks for the command codes in this video, but there are many others I imagine that I will want to use, but I need the manual to look them up I think. Thank you for a very clear and helpful video!
Hello , first of all thank you for the top video!The installation of the sim card does not work for me. Must the card on the post (Germany)be activated?
Was there any problem with pick up range for the switches and PIR's? My PC Wi-Fi struggles through walls and distances beyond 7 metres. Suck it and see I suppose.
Good presentation but did not show solar alarm set up which I am having problems with. My solar siren is charged switched on and I have tried to programme but it is activating when alarm is in disarm mode please help
I do the sensors always flash with the red light or do they only light up when they detect movement because I have a cheap one and even when not in use because the door sensor as always got the red light on so after change the battarys every week
Hi. I got the same alarm system, everything done. Project password changed, all systems works. But I cant put password before switching on alarm and also switching off. Setting project password ,then 38 then new password, #,. *#. Switching on alarm. He is not asking password. And also he is not asking password then I switched off where is problem.
Hi. Sorry to hear your issues. As I no longer have access to the device I can’t check for sure but try this: enter setup mode (6666) go into setting (40) and type (1) followed by (#). That should enable the keypad lock I think. To disable it replace (1) with (0). Hope that helps.
I set up some fire detectors with one bf- host yesterday and today when i power it on, all detectors deleted from memory and the Bf-host countdown from 15 to 0 again and again and again and i can't use it. The buttons don't work when i push them. Any idea or how i can reset it and work again?
Hello, I need help making the wired connection work, do you have a video explaining how to connect and configure correctly the wired back of this alarm system. Thanks
At least you have a manual! I've got the same system and my instructions amount to a double sided A4 sheet! For the money though its a damned good system and once you can understand the chinese-english, quite easy to set up.
Hi there.If I wont to connect my bike to the alarm with a single core cable around the bike and then connect into one pair of wired contacts will I need a resistor as well and if so what size.Thank you Mike
Hi can anyone help with the zone types as there is no info on what they mean or do? example Hall Alarm, Balcony Alarm. Basically ,trying to set the "at home" so that only the perimeter doors and window will activate. appreciate any help
Hi, thanks for this video, but would like to ask a few questions. I have purchased this particular model and some features does not work as I would have expected, so perhaps I thought you might have hellped. 1. how to restart the device into factory setting. There is no mention about this in provided user guide. 2. GSM signal indicator is flashing in red, whilst SIM card is entered. I would expect to see steady green light instead. 3. SMS notification is not working all the time. We have setup and registered SIM card to this device, however the notification is not being sent all the time. We set it up for two phone numbers to receive SMS text message, however this type of service is very unstable. From e.g. five attempts we got only two SMS alerts. 4. Voice mail notification does not work at all. Thank you for your feedback. Lobo.
Really informative, thank you....One question though, my alarm came with all passives etc already paired to the control box. How can I set external door contacts on a different zone to internal passives? Thanks
The Grocer You can set the external door contacts by programming to a zone number of your choice. 1. Type the Admin password then press # key. Example - [6666] + [#] 2. Type [23] + [ZoneNoOfChoice] then press # key. Example - [23] + [ZoneNoOfChoice] + [#] 3. Press the button on the door unit, you should hear "Coding Complete" 4. Press [*] + [#] when complete.
Thanks for this but would like to know more about sim card - my GSM didn't come with one - and do I need to do anything to my phone to receive text messages - app download?
Can you silence the sound output from the control box so no arming beeps or alarm sounds, just phone alerts to allow stealth operation to catch the thieves in the act?
Mike Hunt Pls enter the master passcode 6666# and then enter 3200# . You will receive only sms and calls, but the external and internal sirens are silent ! You can catch him !
Hi great video, please can you advise does this GSM system allow me to have a part system i.e. downstairs on and upstairs off (like when I go to bed). Thank you.
i just bought one and i need help because one of the sensor is not working. when i lock it and i walk in room it just goes beep beep beep and nothing happends. The other 2 the alarm goes off but thats only because i set it at 23 then a random number 09 and pressed hash key so it must be set up with right zone. But i cant set this last one to that zone because I cant delete it cos i dont no what number it is set at. What can i do help me ?
Lisa Wilkins Yes, i have been using this device for quite some time. It never tells if the battery is weak. But i found that it is better to replace the battery after every 6 months.
When an alarm is triggered you can disarm it by using the keypad. Anyone can disarm it by hitting one button on the keypad. Is there a way to key a password first then hit the disarm key. I tried to add a password ( 6666 # 38 xxxx ) but I'm not sure what that dose. I trigger the alarm but all you have to do is hit the disarm key and that stopped the alarm. This way anyone can stop the alarm .
Hi Mike, I'm struggling to setup a custom defence zone (7-99) but it's not working as all are set to SOS Alarm. Could you please let me know if you went through this? Thanks you.Channa

Where can I find the manual you are using. There is no manual with the unit I received, just an incomprehensible and ironically-named "Quick" Installation Manual.
Specifically, the method you show to set a disarm code does not seem to work. I go through the procedure, but still I can disarm it just by hitting the "disarm" button. Second problem is the SIM Card. I bought one and activated it, but apparently it needs some "APN" settings before it will function, and I haven't the slightest clue how to do that. And finally, of course, thanks for the command codes in this video, but there are many others I imagine that I will want to use, but I need the manual to look them up I think.
Thank you for a very clear and helpful video!
Hello , first of all thank you for the top video!The installation of the sim card does not work for me. Must the card on the post (Germany)be activated?
Hi. I think the SIM will have to be activated yes
Was there any problem with pick up range for the switches and PIR's? My PC Wi-Fi struggles through walls and distances beyond 7 metres. Suck it and see I suppose.
Good presentation but did not show solar alarm set up which I am having problems with. My solar siren is charged switched on and I have tried to programme but it is activating when alarm is in disarm mode please help
I do the sensors always flash with the red light or do they only light up when they detect movement because I have a cheap one and even when not in use because the door sensor as always got the red light on so after change the battarys every week
Hi. I got the same alarm system, everything done. Project password changed, all systems works. But I cant put password before switching on alarm and also switching off. Setting project password ,then 38 then new password, #,. *#. Switching on alarm. He is not asking password. And also he is not asking password then I switched off where is problem.
Hi. Sorry to hear your issues. As I no longer have access to the device I can’t check for sure but try this: enter setup mode (6666) go into setting (40) and type (1) followed by (#). That should enable the keypad lock I think. To disable it replace (1) with (0). Hope that helps.
@@SupremeGadgets OH MY GOD THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
I set up some fire detectors with one bf- host yesterday and today when i power it on, all detectors deleted from memory and the Bf-host countdown from 15 to 0 again and again and again and i can't use it. The buttons don't work when i push them. Any idea or how i can reset it and work again?
Good video can i ask does this need a sim in to work
You need a SIM to use the phone features
Hi. I have this system. Do you know How to off twice beep by siren when you unlock? Can I add extra siren to system? Thanks
What kind of sim card do I need? And how do I connect it go my phone?
same doubt here, if you have the answer, please, tell me. Thanks!
You can use any sim card, but I recommend a prepaid card. (must be a mini sim.) Important thing is to remove the sim pin.
Got the alarm system and thanks to you it works fine, but how do I keep the light on the screen,as it was on all the time but now it's gone off.
Hello, I need help making the wired connection work, do you have a video explaining how to connect and configure correctly the wired back of this alarm system. Thanks
At least you have a manual! I've got the same system and my instructions amount to a double sided A4 sheet! For the money though its a damned good system and once you can understand the chinese-english, quite easy to set up.
This is by far, one of the best youtube videos ive watched. Thank you very much. helped me a lot. ten out of ten
Thank you
Hi there.If I wont to connect my bike to the alarm with a single core cable around the bike and then connect into one pair of wired contacts will I need a resistor as well and if so what size.Thank you Mike
Hi, do you know how turn off voice or put lower?
can you be able to connect Vibration sensors with this system? do they have to be wired or connected to the system through radio?
Hi can anyone help with the zone types as there is no info on what they mean or do? example Hall Alarm, Balcony Alarm. Basically ,trying to set the "at home" so that only the perimeter doors and window will activate. appreciate any help
does this system require high speed connection or land line. Or can it use only the cell towers through my mobile phone.
Is it possible to arm only 1 zone ? For example just to arm the garage ?
So how to u make the alarm system silent as I have it in my shed if they hear it they can stop it any help plz
Hi, thanks for this video, but would like to ask a few questions.
I have purchased this particular model and some features does not work as I would have expected, so perhaps I thought you might have hellped.
1. how to restart the device into factory setting. There is no mention about this in provided user guide.
2. GSM signal indicator is flashing in red, whilst SIM card is entered. I would expect to see steady green light instead.
3. SMS notification is not working all the time. We have setup and registered SIM card to this device, however the notification is not being sent all the time. We set it up for two phone numbers to receive SMS text message, however this type of service is very unstable. From e.g. five attempts we got only two SMS alerts.
4. Voice mail notification does not work at all.
Thank you for your feedback.
Lobo.
Hi unfortunately I no longer have access to this alarm system. Hope you get things sorted soon though
Did you manage to get the alarm to factory reset?
Hi my friend... there is the instruction book somewhere in the INTERNET in a pdf ??
How do i create an entry point ie the door. as all the contacts and pir's go into countdown during arm any info please.
Thank you. This is very helpful. I just purchased my wireless arlarm set. Saved me a lot of time go8ng thru the booklet.
Good to hear 😀
can you put a fire alarm instead of that little speaker?
Really informative, thank you....One question though, my alarm came with all passives etc already paired to the control box. How can I set external door contacts on a different zone to internal passives? Thanks
The Grocer You can set the external door contacts by programming to a zone number of your choice.
1. Type the Admin password then press # key. Example - [6666] + [#]
2. Type [23] + [ZoneNoOfChoice] then press # key. Example - [23] + [ZoneNoOfChoice] + [#]
3. Press the button on the door unit, you should hear "Coding Complete"
4. Press [*] + [#] when complete.

Thank you very much :)
Thanks for this but would like to know more about sim card - my GSM didn't come with one - and do I need to do anything to my phone to receive text messages - app download?
You make a nightmare a nice experience! You are so correct on the Chinese instruction book.
Thanks
Can you silence the sound output from the control box so no arming beeps or alarm sounds, just phone alerts to allow stealth operation to catch the thieves in the act?
Mike Hunt Pls enter the master passcode 6666# and then enter 3200# . You will receive only sms and calls, but the external and internal sirens are silent ! You can catch him !
Hi great video, please can you advise does this GSM system allow me to have a part system i.e. downstairs on and upstairs off (like when I go to bed). Thank you.
nope, no partion
i just bought one and i need help because one of the sensor is not working. when i lock it and i walk in room it just goes beep beep beep and nothing happends. The other 2 the alarm goes off but thats only because i set it at 23 then a random number 09 and pressed hash key so it must be set up with right zone. But i cant set this last one to that zone because I cant delete it cos i dont no what number it is set at. What can i do help me ?
Did he say clips for the resisters
Can someone please explain how to wire up the small indoor siren ? What connectors on the back of the alarm box do I use ?
Hi, Pir sensors won't disable when I only want window/door sensors to be on. Thanks in advance.
I’m not sure I’m afraid
Always use the outside siren when purchasing the alarm system it helps heaps
buongiorno come si collega la sirena?in caso come si puo avere il manuale d'istruzione in italiano per favore
Hi there Damn good system BUT HOW do i stop the outside SIREN going BEEP !!! BEEP !!! VERY LOUD when disarmed any help appreciated THANKS
Hi John, did you figure out how to do this? I'm having the same problem, it's so loud!
hi thete how do u put the alarm key pad on the wall securely
is there a user manual online to download. This would help. Thanks in advance.
How can u tell when the sensors battery has ran out? It's flashing constantly is the battery the problem.
Lisa Wilkins Yes, i have been using this device for quite some time. It never tells if the battery is weak. But i found that it is better to replace the battery after every 6 months.
When an alarm is triggered you can disarm it by using the keypad. Anyone can disarm it by hitting one button on the keypad. Is there a way to key a password first then hit the disarm key. I tried to add a password ( 6666 # 38 xxxx ) but I'm not sure what that dose. I trigger the alarm but all you have to do is hit the disarm key and that stopped the alarm. This way anyone can stop the alarm .
The same situation I am. Do you find how to make to ask password first?
cool video. but is the alarm loud enough? because i would hang it in my seperate garage.
Can this system be connected with wires? Not wireless. We have a thick concrete wall in between.Thanks
Yes... Additional devices can be wired to it, but maximum of 4. We have sensors far across our yard & it still works perfect with wireless.
Hi Mike, I'm struggling to setup a custom defence zone (7-99) but it's not working as all are set to SOS Alarm. Could you please let me know if you went through this? Thanks you.Channa
