As an alarm expert you should really have your motion Sensors in the corner of a room not on a flat wall … having it in a corner is an advantage to give you more coverage of the area your protecting
Also you’re Smoke alarm should be on a roof not a wall because the smoke or go straight past it and it will take a while for it to eventually come download to reach the smoke alarm set for the best security and fire safety I definitely recommend those two things
@@allaboutalarms4842 Thank you! I’ll install my new ones that way. I really appreciate your advice on these alarms. I traditionally had mine on a wall so i’ll make that change immediately. I just set up my motion detector for my ring system in the corner and it got amazing coverage for all my hallway. It’s perfect! Thank so so so much
@@allaboutalarms4842 Do you recommend i get more motion detectors? I have two currently. One in my living room and one in my hallway. I was thinking about getting one for each bedroom which would be 2 more incase someone broke a window and got in. The contact sensors wouldn’t really cover a window break in.
That's an old first alert smoke detector from i wanna say the late 90's early 2000's. My parents house had one in the hallway. Boy when i was 6-7 i was terrified of it. I outgrew that fear of alarms now but they just annoy me lmao
I had a traditional wired system and it works the same way this one does. you set one door as your entry exit door and that is the door with the delay. if you open any other door the alarm will immediately go off! You can now get wireless siren's to put in other places in the house. The reason your base station was not loud is because you had it hidden in the bathroom! The best place to put it is mounted on the wall. With this system if the base station is broken it automatically notifies the call center if you are paying for monitoring!
If someone breaks into your door and enter your home, by the time they kill you and take a few things in under 2 minutes, your alarm will just start to go off. No delay entry for me. I disarm the system before opening the door, lock it, and arm it immediately. I feel safest that way. Although, I do see why disarming it for even 30 seconds can be stupid if someone snuck up behind me and knocked me out with my alarm disabled. That's scary too.
For me since I have the second generation, there is a button on the contact sensor that lets you open the door without setting off the alarm for only once. Just press the button and it will flash green, and you can open the door. After you close the door if you want to open the door again you have to press it again, otherwise it will sound the alarm.
The one thing I do not like about your ring a lot is that it is the keypad is have like a wire attached to it and that makes it look like it’s not professionally done, but you can what you can do is unplug it, and it will still be functionally working And the one other thing is it you should have your motion sensors in the corner of a room, not on a flat wall and the other thing is that the alarm is a weak and also I don’t like the old generation keypad who do you think agrees with me?🤔 but on the other hand your house is 👍🏼 just SAYING………….
On IOS ot sounds like four pulses which plays at max volume even if the phone is silent. On Android there is no preincluded tone, but you can set your own, which in my case I set it to a recording of the alarm going off.
that's a really weak siren, one of the drawbacks I think....if someone enters your house you want outside and inside noise. It's a huge deterrent for anyone just sticking around and the delay on that is terrible..should be instant. You ran around your house for a decade before that thing went off. Why the delay? Did you trip the entry-exit?
James Hudson I have to agree. I returned this system. I’m really thinking of getting simplisafe. Seems good for the money and the exterior siren is a must
Simpli safe is inferior. I did tons of research and besides being more expensive, simplisafe can be hacked with any Bluetooth device. And I have my delay set for 15 seconds
Guys. i really need some help here. Here i go I recently bought the 2nd gen. NO SUBSCRIPTION. If there's internet and electricity outage and it's armed. when i get home can i deactivate it with keypad? I mean i dont wanna get home try to disarm it and then siren going off and UNABLE to stop it. thanks
I think the delay is adjustable from 30-180 seconds so you have time to deactivate it. If it was instant it would go off every time you come home (unless disabled before entering via mobile phone)
Unfortunately, I couldn’t hear the 10 second countdown sound on the keypad when I was trying to listen to it, but this time I heard it on the base station
So my mom was opening a window in our house and she forgot to disarm the ring alarm. When she opened the window the alarm triggered and it scared tf outta me lmao
They could do that with any system. And if they did, you police would still be immediately notified and you phone will be immediately notified. So even if you have to replace it the proper authorities are on the way
@@michaeln.8401 ADT doesn't. At least last time I checked years ago. Older systems definitely dont have it. Another thing to look for is Advanced protection logic or APL usually found on Honeywell's systems. It's the same thing but maybe a couple changes. Also remember that for a faster response for a monitoring system you must decrease the dialer delay
This is the second home in which th-cam.com/users/postUgkx0jZ_lGlDVJhDnmagEU8gn47cmfPNlLQU we've replaced our "regular" doorbell with a Ring video doorbell and we really enjoy it.

He has his siren in a closet upstairs, not ideal location for it to be heard. You can buy additional indoor and outdoor sirens for about 30 bucks each. Although, they're not as loud as hardwired sirens you get from big alarm companies like ADT. Those things are so loud you can barely talk to the alarm company when they call.

The base station was purposely placed in the bathroom closet, so it isn't loud since he is only demonstrating the system.
Think the base was placed in the bedroom for the demo
I like that you hid the base. Will take longer for a burglar to find it and quiet it like smash it or toss it out a window.

Alarms in my eyes are to alert you so you can take action while the system gets help for you
Also, never disarm your alarm when unlocking the door for someone you don’t truly know. Take advantage of the disarm system now timer.

Thanks for the video. So about 60 seconds before it starts making a ton of noise
30 - 120 seconds

The keypad has a backup battery
If the alarm was armed shouldnt it immediately go off when the contacts at the door are separated?
Jsun D depending on what setting yes
Well it should give you a bit so you can enter the pin or if the keypad is a bit further down
I think the delay is adjustable from 30-180 seconds so you have time to deactivate it. If it was instant it would go off every time you come home (unless disabled before entering via mobile phone)

I am about to buy one but I want to hear how loud it is going to blast. One for security and another one to deter my dogs from chewing up my house. :)
You can buy add on siren speakers
Honestly you should look into Blue by ADT. seems like a good company

Man that takes forever to ring
For it to give you time to disarm your Security System
It's called entry delay.
OT, but your living room floor is pretty.
Can you make the countdown smaller timeframe?
0sec i think

very useful
I just got this system
That I have two but you have one
Yooo
what would happen if you unplugg the station? while the alarm sounds?
I am pretty sure it has battery backup.
Also, if you try to open any of the items, there is a button that gets released and automatically sounds the alarm.

Its funny when it was armed you walked past the motion sensor and it dodnt trip anything at all
he probably has that particular sensor turned off
