(More customer reviews)Although I have looked at X-10 products in the past, I never purchased any because I thought the quality would be poor. When I purchased this system, I did not know it was an X-10 product, and I probably would not have considered buying it if it had been advertised as such. However, after everything was installed, I must say that I was pleasantly surprised.
This package, as it comes to your door, is comprehensive enough to provide very good house coverage. I am impressed with the total number of accessories provided. The console has a built in horn. An additional small powerhorn is included in the package. Both horns, however, just didn't have enough 'ooomph' as far as I was concerned. I added three additional large powerhorns, two more rocket lamp modules, and two more motion detectors to the system. Everything works without a hitch.The five horns literally make it unbearable to remain in the house. Five lights flash on and off when the alarm sounds also. In addition to this, the console will dial up to four phone numbers and play a recorded message to the person(s) it calls. The person is also given the option to press a number and 'listen in' to the home to try and determine if there really is a problem. I was concerned that if someone decided to simply break a window glass, they could get into the house without sounding the alarm by sliding the window up and breaking the magnetic contacts. The four motion detectors take care of that problem. Each motion detector can be set to sound the alarm after detecting one movement or two movements (to cut down on false alarms). And, you can set the remote control to arm the doors and windows - without arming the motion detectors - while you are home. That way you can move freely throughout the house without setting off the alarm. When you leave the house, you can also set the alarm to 'arm' everything including the motion detectors. The motion detectors have an approximate 40' range. You can have a total of up to 16 motion detectors, or door/window sensors, or up to 8 keychain remotes, or up to 8 handheld security remotes, OR any combination of these up to 16 total. I don't know for sure, but it seems like you can add any number of horns or lamp modules (for flashing the lights).
Be advised that it does take a little time to install if you decide to put in all the door/window sensors. You also need to buy a LOT of alkaline AA and AAA batteries.
My finished system has four motion detectors, nine window/door sensors, two keychain remotes, one security remote. This is a total of 16 items that are keyed into the console. In addition, there are five horns, including the one built into the console and five light modules. We have approximately 4,000 sq. ft. of room. The console is centrally located. There is no problem with it 'reaching' the sensors. The furthest sensor from my console is about 60 feet away. As an added benefit, every sensor 'checks in' with the console every 90 minutes. If there is a problem (such as low battery), the appropriate zoned light on the console will flash. The console also has a battery backup to retain information and allow limited alarm use. Out of the box, this system is very similar to what our apartment complex installed in all the individual apartments when I was living in the city. It really is a good system.

This comprehensive alarm system is packed full of features and is functional in any home or business setting. The best part about this system is that there are no monthly monitoring fees and it is easy to install. When this alarm is triggered it activates a blaring siren, flashes lights, and calls up to 4 phone numbers that you have programmed into the console. These phone numbers can be your own cell or work number, friends, family or neighbors. When the console reaches someone, it will play a message that you have pre-recorded and then it will allow that person to listen into your home or business to see if immediate action needs to be taken. A robust feature of this system is that it allows you to turn your home lights on and off or dim them at the push of a button by remote control.(never enter a dark home again) All the state-of-the-art sensors included with this system operate wirelessly and are supervised by the console to provide professional reliability. While in passive-mode, this console supports an optional notification feature that provides a single chime anytime a window or door is opened.
