I live next to a train track. Will the vibrations set the alarms off during the night when the train goes by?

This device is when someone trie to shatter a glass window. Unless that train is rocketing you house I don't think it would be a problem. You have to hit the glass pretty hard.

Well I can't say with 100% certainty, but I would say most likely not. I can bang on my window softly and it doesn't sound, but if I hit it hard, it goes off right away. I don't think the vibrations would be strong enough. Hope that helps!

I don't know about trains going by but I wouldn't say it is too sensitive. Our two young boys can slam the back door and not set it off on the window. Hope that helps.

if your window vibrate (like shaking really hard) then yes it probably will. only i the doesn't shake your window like really hard.but its 10 bucks. try it, maybe you'll like it. although this is a very good product that help prevent people from breaking into your home.

I live very close to a train track also and I've had them up for several months without them being set off by the vibration.

I'd be fairly sure that it wouldn't go off. It'd have to be really close to your house for that to happen.

This was a gift to my grandson who lives out of town. I have not heard the alarm. Sorry.

Yes. On the train there is a switch that goes from motor and sound, then to just sound, then to off.

the best I can tell you is that I set mine to as close to the sensor as I can without going off when I bang on the wall. I want to be alerted primarily at night if any tremors are headed our way. I'm on the New Madrid fault and the biggest we have had 6 years ago was a 4.5, enough to feel things shaking. That was at 4:30 in the morning and I was up on the computer and didn't know what to do first. That's why I bought this alarm just in case it happens when I'm in a deep sleep. Good luck.

No. All you see are green dashes showing it is working the way it should. You can test it and the alarm is very loud so you would certainly hear it no matter where you are in the house.

I wouldn't think so, my cat runs around the house at night with the motion sensors on and never sets it off. But other alarm systems may be different. I wouldn't think that random lights flickering would set it off. With Amazon's outstanding return policy, if it sets it off, just return it within 30 days!

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

Yes. There is a test mode which when activated chimes when any alarm is triggered (window, door and motion detector).

Yes, however it may be too sensitive in an outdoors area. My alarm seems to trigger from bugs and small leaves blowing past it.

The alarm would inform you of any local earthquake activity. However the alarm is only useful if your have a plan of what to do when it goes off. I suggest you have a plan of what to do for a very mild quake, a moderate to severe quake (That will probably cause property damage), and a very severe quake. If you are really concerned, you should practice, with your family, so that you will all react automatically. Best wishes.

This is not an issue I've had. So I can only offer suggestions. It is possible to adjust the distance at which the alarm will be triggered. The configuration and size of the area/entryway where you plan to place "Rex" will determine if passerbys will set off the alarm. It is possible to "shield" the sides of the unit with metal but only to a limited degree.

Yes, the Pantech 3 has a vibration alarm (either vibration, vibration then ring, or vibration and ring). However, it appears that the most frequently it can be set is once per 24 hours.

Yes, but it depends on proximity. Also if you set the sensitivity too high it can trigger based on ambient factors or vibrations in the floor.

There's a chuffing sound that sounds when the train moves, you can turn this off via a switch in the drivers cab. There is also a steam noise that sounds constantly when the train is stationary. This cannot be turned off unless you unplug the track. The other sounds only work when buttons on the remote are pressed.

All alarms will alert in unison to let occupants know no matter where they are in the structure that an event is occurring thus giving them time to get out of harms way. I do not believe the frequency is adjustable.

Any movement will set it off, including changing light conditions. If your sensor is exposed to the direct rays of the sun, it will likely go off because of the stray infrared rays. You might want to move your sensor to where it is not exposed to the direct rays of the sun, and read this: http://www.ehow.com/how-does_5748164_infrared-alarm-sensor-work_.html

I use these nearly every night and I have no problem hearing my alarm. They are an absolute necessity when I travel because they block out the noise of people from nearby rooms letting their doors slam when they leave their rooms.
