I haven't tried it for an alarm but keep it on for the clock. It is a really marvelous speaker and I am so glad I purchased it.

Download D-Saplli from App Store, it works as an clock ( 7 style )with some customization: sound EQ,alarm,music player timer, sleep timer, volume, fast forward,brightness,etc. It's a simple application,easy to use and good looking, just give a try, nothing to lose

The auto dial is only used to call you or a phoneof your choice in the event of the alarm being set off. The alarm siren will still work even if you do not hook up the phone line. There is very minimal drilling (only for mounting sensors if needed and the control box. I personally think the system should be installed by someone with some knoledge due to programming and mounting the sensors properly.

The alarm emits a light beep when activated (turned on) and the same when deactivating it. When it detects movement it emits a LOUD alarm that will awake anyone in the house. I used it to detect movementOf a walker used by the patient. I leaned it against the walker so that it fall over if the walker was moved. It worked like a charm.....

You need a smartphone. Yes it calls the number you program into the unit to notify you of the alarm going off and the mic picks up noise around it. You can use the unit to call out too just like any phone.

Yes I use the alarm.com app and service through Frontpoint Security and it works great.

I may not know how to use mine, so that could explain an ignorant answer. In any case, it has a limited value. I can't use it to find my phone because I get repeated annoying alarms when it I have my phone and because it stops tracking things when it wants to - and without my phone (which I am looking for), I can't turn it back on. I use it to find just a couple things that I often misplace and aren't always too close to set off repeated alarms.

The app works from both my phone and tablet via WiFi or cell. Only thing I cannot control remotely is turning my camera alarms on or off. Kind of a pain if my wife stays home for the day after I leave. I did find I can remotely turn them so she does not constantly alarm the motion sensor.

it works without phone, but then you wont receive the phone calls when an alarm triggers. and you should only rely on the alarm sounds installed in your home.

The sensor itself does absolutely nothing without a base station to link to, and even then, it has only 3 functions. It detects temperature, movement (josteling) and if it is open or closed. To have an alarm function, one would need an alarm, like the one available in the SmartThings store, or a way to trigger a sound file on a computer. (Google will bring up an example or two). Also, check out the forums on SmartThings page. I've learned quite a bit from searching through there. Also, their support staff is pretty quick with getting back with answers.

I have a Watchdog system and the alarm can be heard clearly upstairs or install the alarm upstairs or link it to your Android or IPhone portable device. B

This type of unit just gives you relay contacts, open when alarm tripped.The rest of it is up to an alarm control unit with sirens, lights .etc..

I don't know but what I can say about that piece of junk is:It developed a problem after about a monthCobys warranty wanted me to ship it to them for service at my expense (which is normal)BUT they wanted me to send them money for the return ship to me.AIN"T GONNA HAPPEN! I sent it back to Amazon for refund and bought another brank thats been fine for, I think 1-1/2 to 2-1/2 years now. I'm sorry but I don't use it for an alarm so can't comment on that.

It sends an email alert to your smartphone with a pic. I found a lag between when the alarm was triggered and being alerted, therefore I use an inexpensive ' driveway alarm' with multiple sensors with separate sounds to be alerted and where. Hope that helps.

Good idea, i know this system is used by alarm.com but I am not sure if they let you use video service. I should also check with them
