Does the alarm shut off again when the door/window is closed? If someone knows your home is empty, could they come in and just shut off the alarm by closing the door? (Assuming they weren't scared away, I mean...)

It goes through an alarm cycle every time the door is open unless you turn it off. We use it to let us know when someone goes out our back door to the pool area.

hello, the system has sensors, that you install where you need them, when you activate the alarm, if anyone tries to enter thru your door or window, the siren goes off , and it is loud enough to scare anyone off, not to mention alert your other neighbors, you can set it up to call your cell phone, or the local police dept, just make sure that you ok it with your police dept, every city has different rules. good luck

Once the alarm is triggered it is on for the duration. The alarm has an auto shut off feature so after it goes off twice it automatically shuts off until you rearm it to prevent draining the battery.

The alarm will turn off when you shut the window or when both units come close together.

How big is the total area? I have a 10-12' window, opens on each side. I put alarm in the middle and banged on the side window, didn't do anything, so I hit it harder and it went off. Was scared to keep hitting the glass but if window was smash it would make the alarm go off. We have to turn the alarms off in big wind storms cause they will go off from wind/gusts. Only have had to turn them off 1 time from wind. Alarms are loud.

If the room is right next door, yes you could hear the alarm. Yes, the alarm goes off until you turn off the unit.

There is a remote that you place in the house and yes that will go off along with the alarm on the unit.no it can not be remotely turned off. I don't thin any of the alarms can. Its part of the code so you have to go look at why the alarm went off.

Yes, just do not input your secret code, if the code has not been entered it will not respond to the door (window) being opened. It has to be "armed" with your code to either chime or alarm. Hope this answers your question. It will only "go off" you have entered your code.... This unit is very easy to use.

No, the alarm is basically a deterrent to a thief. When the security is breached, the alarm does sound, but not loud enough for even a close neighbor to hear. I guess it amounts to a scare tactic to a thief looking for an easy break- in. Hope this helps

I have an alarm system; someone broke into my house after midnight when I was out of town. My neighbors didn't even hear the alarm from the security system. Can this unit be attached to my existing system and it so, will it have to be manually turned off?

Thank you to everyone who answered, it seems if somebody activates the alarm, it will not shut off until someone kicks the door down and rips it off the wall

If the door has a glass window on it I would assume it would work the same way. If the window breaks or vibrates it should set off the alarm.

If your window is low and the cat could reach and tap on the window glass, I think the alarm will go off. It will not go off if he is just nearby.

There are three settings on the side: chime, off, and alarm in that order. We use the chime during the day in case our girls successfully open the door and the alarm at night. I usually manually switch it off when people come visit. Does that help?

I've had these for years. If one alarm senses smoke they all go off but will report the name of the alarm location, such as "Kitchen". To silence all alarms I believe you must silence the one in that location. This makes sense as you'd want to check that location. The other alarms will silence after a few seconds. I'm not sure if hitting the silence button on a different alarm will silence them all or just that remote location as the only times they've gone off I've just run to the one that is triggering the alarm. I think this has happened only in our kitchen and we're usually right there cooking when that has happened. I've had these for years.

Sensors are always on. The master unit/receiver (alarm) can be muted. You would have to remove the sensor from the window, or door, (thus triggering the alarm) to remove the battery. Best to keep master unit in your bedroom. I have a sensor on my back door AND my daughter's window. You can set different beep quantities for the different sensors.

If (and that's a big IF) you can manage to get it turned on and close the door without setting it off, the only way to turn it off is to open the door and turn it off. The alarm WILL go off.
