AAS 100 Wireless Home Security Alarm System Pet Immune DIY
Had this alarm system for the last two months. Also, bought the GSM Cellular Module, because I don’t have a land-line.
After being broken into my previous place, an alarm system was a must have for our new apartment home. Before moving in, I began the installation. At first, I was concerned with the directions which mainly consisted of a photograph example, but the installation was a breeze. The door alarms are simple to mount and based on a flawless technology. The motion detectors were a bit more difficult, but I once I figured out how the jumpers coordinated with the spectrum of detection (which is enclosed in those directions), it was fine. I set mine to a large distance, so I should not have been shocked that the cat set it off. At a mid-distance, my cat didn’t trigger it at all.
Although I could have used a bit more description of the modes (HOME, AWAY, etc.), all of the directions for programming the system were clear and concise. The flexibility of this system is amazing. You can program up to 10 phone numbers and customize the timer delays as much as you need to. The key fobs are awesome. I have friends that paid $800.00 for their systems and having had to come by while they are gone, I hate the keypad-only systems. You can set this system using the key fob, which can transmit through our metal door or arm it by phone.
As for the alarm part, I have had this go off accidentally and by design. The accident part had to do with guests who didn’t follow directions and my cat. In every case, I was notified soon enough to disarm it relatively quickly. The alarm is loud and deafening inside the apartment, and is certainly loud enough to be heard within the building.
I would highly recommend this system. You can use it with a monitoring company because that is supported, but it certainly beats the $800.00 models that these monitoring companies charge for their systems. Plus installation is easy and DIY. I feel safe at night and when I am away. The day-to-day use is simple and easy to work into your morning/night routine.

Pro: Well written instructions allowing for easy set-up (I used my own velcro mounts instead of their pre-mounted double-faced stickies. Velcro allowed me to make adjustments to position of magnets and transmitters. It will also make life easier for battery changes in future.) Excellent customer service. Well-designed for tailoring how many windows/doors you wish to monitor and how many motion-detectors to place.
Con: Can’t order a-la-carte inexpensively. I would have preferred standard motion detectors over the pet-immune, but couldn’t customize the order for such.

I wanted to take the time and tell everyone about this system. This system does so much for the money I spent on the system. I recommend that everyone who is looking for something to monitor and provide safety to their home to take a look at this system. Other than the small things that come with alarm systems it is does the job. The siren is very loud and will alarm whom ever that has intruded into your resident, it is easy to follow the step by step process in setting up your system. In all you are looking in about two and a half hours to have it completed. When I was done and complete with my set up of my new alarm system, I tested it out and it was so loud that I trying my best to get disarm it lol.

It took me less than 2 hours to completely install the system. There were no issues, what so ever, on performance or distance of sensors. It has performed flawlessly, and I would highly recommend this system. It can’t be beat for value! Anybody who pays monthly fees for monitoring is wasting their money! The monitoring service has to call you first to get authorization to call the police. This system calls up to 6 phone numbers, consecutively, until it reaches a live person. It will not leave messages. It can decifer between a voice mail and a live person. You can then reset your alarm remotely via the telephone, or call the police yourself. It worked fine with hard line and cell phone for me! I tested both. The only short coming was that after an incident, it does not have a memory to tell you which sensor triggered the alarm. It does flash which sensor has triggered the alarm during the activation, but once reset or unarmed for enterance, it does not have a memory for you to investigate. Regardless, I’m Impressed with this system!

Exactly what I was looking for. Didn’t want monthly fees but looking for a way to protect my home when/while I’m away. Installation was a breeze although took me a while to install. Biggest heartache was the diagram of the motion detector settings was very hard to use. I took a guess and they seem to pick up anything above 5 feet (cats have yet to set it off, even though I have four of them ranging from ten to 15 lbs.) The window sensors, I want to point out, can attach directly to the glass; that is, if the window breaks the sensor or sensor strip falls and sets off alarm. This is important as most intruders are not going to completely open the window after breaking the glass, I was very pleased with these items. So far I can’t complain about a thing, would recommend, especially if you are looking at a monthly fee service.
