Tools and Hardware Reviews of GE 51107 Smart Home Wireless Alarm System Kit
Customer Review: Does the job as stated
Summary: 5 Stars
Nice security system which would probably the best at this price range. Window Alarm is loud enough but the best alarm is the door. Must buy if you dont want to pay for the pricey calling features or monthly services.Customer Review: Does what it's supposed to
Summary: 5 Stars
This does the job. We originally got it because my toddler would open the sliding door to the yard and it scared me. But putting this on each door really helps me not to worry. It also works great when my husband is out of town. It does the job and worth it. Very simple to use.Customer Review: Doesn't always work
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased enough door and window alarms to arm my entire ranch house. Arranged to have my handyman come over to install the system. We opened everything, installed batteries, etc. When it was time to mount the units he discovered that with my type windows (old with aluminum frames), there is no way they will work. My house is not unique. In my area all the houses were built this way. No where on the packaging did it stipulate what type of windows you could use the product on. We brainstormed everything we could think of but they just don't work. I'm sure it's a nice product if you can use it. I just wish the company would tell you certain types of windows aren't able to accomodate the units.Customer Review: Door and Window alarms are very audible and effective.
Summary: 5 Stars
After reading the reviews posted here, I was actually surprised at the loudness of the 3 window alarms. Perhaps the batteries were fresh, because all of the window and the door alarms I received are piercingly loud at 120-decibels.
The kits I received did come with all the necessary screws and double-sided tape to install the door and window alarms. But, I used double-sided Velcro tape (as recommended by a reviewer) and this has worked like a charm!
Using chime mode, the kits have been very effective alert systems for toddlers in the house. Also, if strategically placed, a burglar won't be able to see the window alarm attached to the frame. It would be nice if the chime made a double set of 'ding-dong' sounds instead of a single set, but this is the only mild complaint I have about chime mode.
Also, the door system is pretty effective in alarm mode. The alarm will continue to pierce even if the door is closed after being opened, so the only way to turn off the sound is to enter your 4-digit code.
All in all, more than I expected and I'm extremely satisfied.
Customer Review: Easy install, pretty loud
Summary: 4 Stars
I got this system for my house, and I agree that this is a relly good product, I use the Chime a lot so that I'll know when the door opens when I'm upstairs but won't set off an alarm.. the alarm function is also pretty loud. I used the window system on the door as well and it works perfect. I would recoment this item to those who want an indication when a door or window is open and it does not come with monthly membership.
