I canceled my home security system and got this, very easy to install get alerts to my phone when doors and windows with sensors are opened.

I was not very bright and always thought that the red flag on mailboxes were for "You got mail!". I called the post office and he explained my mistake. He told me that I can find mechanical devices that are yellow. That pop up when the door is opened. They ran from 18-30+ dollars.They also sell dedicated electronic devices that notify you when the box has been opened. those ran from 35-60+ dollars. Some had 600 foot ranges. I am on a very tight budget. I am always looking for ways that I can adapt that do the same job at a cheaper price.I came across this system. It was WiFi, came with an app, and was $22 after the discount. I couldn't get the app to discover the Gateway. But it was there after it said that it failed. It worked, sort of. The Gateway would constantly go into SOS mode(triggered). Now I know that it says that it's for 2.4g and I have only 5g for now. So I thought that might be the issue. I called Spectrum and they set my router to 2.4g for 1 hour(max time). There was no change. So 5g was not the problem.Also, I could not get Alexa to discover it. Again phoned Spectrum to set my network to 2.4g. No luck, I kept getting the same message. That Alexa could not complete my request at this time. I then noticed that Bing set itself as the default browser. And the connection to Alexa was going through Bing. I then changed my default browser to Chrome and Bingo. Everything connected flawlessly except for the constant SOS alarms. 100s of them.So I took a chance that I get a defective Gateway. The replacement came today. Bingo, no false alarms. Then came the last hurdle. I don't know if it's in the instructions or not. But the device was not triggering when the door was opened. No matter how hard that I tried. I wondered if perhaps the metal box caused interference with the magnetic field. Nope, it has to be placed on a particular side. Once I turned it upside down it works perfectly. Couldn't be happier. No more walking in the rain to find no mail.To sum up. It will work with 5g. Use Chrome as your default browser. And make sure that the correct side is facing the magnet. This is how it worked for me. If I have issues in the future I will update my review. But it's a basic system. So I don't expect any issues going forward.

I like that it is self monitoring, that is a plus, so tired of subscriptions and the cost of them. This system does provide a app to use, the app is sorta easy, but also gets stuck too, and you have to go out of the app and go back in. But allot of features that is useful. Putting this system in was not really user friendly because of the booklet, it is not great on explaining things. Also should include pictures of the way you should put up sensors, and the keypad, locations is a must to get a good coverage, and also what are the little screws for? I put all of it up with double-sided contact strips with the keypad. Just kinda different, then one of the sensors wouldn't work, troubleshooted and still not working. Contacted with email, no response at all from the company. So that is a loss of one, and I bought extra sensors for all my needs. Now I bought some more, hope they at least works. So kinda disappointed in it for installation yourself, the product will work well for my house, when I get more of it running. Would be great if you had videos on YouTube with all that you should do to start it up and placement of the products.

Although I have set up a number of wifi cameras, this is my first home security system and it was a bit more challenging for me. The basic set up was easy enough using the user's manual. The base station connected to the 2.4 Ghz band of my WiFi without issue and I was able to add each of the components. I already had the Smart Life app and it found the device. Initially I had an issue of constant SOS alerts which ended when I went to settings and turned "Remote Alert Notification" off--no idea why the remotes would send any notifications but apparently they did. There aren't too many sensors so I placed two on the exterior doors and two on what I considered the most vulnerable windows on the first floor. They all operate as they should. I placed the motion detector so that it would pick up activity in a large bay window area on the first floor and it works well there. I may add more sensors. Both the remotes and the keypad work exactly as intended. I am not an Alexa gal so I added the alarm system to Google Home and, due to operator error, proceeded to go crazy trying to get Google Assistant to operate the system because "she" kept demanding a "pin number". After some frustration I discovered that she wanted the Google pin number (I had to set one up). YOU MUST ENTER THE GOOGLE PIN NUMBER IN THE ALARM SYSTEM SETTINGS!!! This goes under "Google Password" even though it is NOT your Google password. Nowhere could I find a way to get around having a Google pin number and we could discuss whether Google is one of the tech firms taking over the world but I simply don't care now that it works my alarm system. If you are a tech wizard you may not run into any issues, but I had to be dogged to get a good system operating perfectly. I live in far from quick law enforcement response so the very loud alarm is hopefully a deterrent to criminals and the alert on my phone is an unmistakable chime. I recommend this alarm system for the money and I am glad I have it.

Buen sistema

The app is no longer on the Google play store so not worth it. We will be returning

I like that it works without paying for crap subscription but I already having sensor not activating alarm. Says to reset or something in the instructions so they know it fails at times. Has short battery back upand is not bad for decibels best guess is between 60 and 80ish. Good cheaper alarm but not the best. Just a decent deterrent for my apt.

For the price you couldn’t go wrong. It did a wonderful job.
