Can someone tell me if I can mount it and use it without connecting it to my alarm system. I intend to utilize it as a deterent!!!

Yes is can be mounted but there is no mounting hardware provided when purchased. To use it, a direct current (DC) power supply will be needed the voltage of which must be between probably 5 or ten volts minimum and 24 volts maximum - the higher the voltage the louder the sound. A switch will also be needed to turn the siren on and off.

This is not an alarm. It typically works in tandem with an alarm. It has canbus features. Different applications for different vehicles. Don't buy it I have one for sale (KIK - chuckholmes)

If you find out please let me know. You can use the light on its own if you turn it on by hand (not using the alarm) but I haven't been able to get the alarm to use the light only) Sorry, this wasn't super helpful, but at least you know you're not alone!

I tried to use without alarm but foind it would not dial without the 9 volt battery installed. I suppose you could disable the speaker or cover it with tape.

Yes, it can. This was my first install and I eventually figured it out. Not real intuitive but not impossible. If you have any experience with alarm systems then you will have no problem.

I ave no idea,really. I was driving, and it had armed itself. When I cut off the power, I was stuck at a shopping center, waiting for AAA to come and get my truck. The funny thing is, the AAA personal who picked me up, knew about alarms ,because he used to install them himself! He took it out there and then, I was able to go home. I knew I should have not bought that alarm! So, I went with a Viper alarm 2 way pager, until I can afford a remote start, then, IPhone comparabilities! I just wanted to ft it to start putting alarms myself. It was a simple process to hook up all those wires you would get from a remote start system! But, even with Al and Ed's hooking up the alarm themselves, it still didn't work good at all. Probably, it could be how sensitive the components are inside. Things aren't what they used to be anymore. Not that that is bad.

Yes and also allows you to place outside the area you are protecting. Like if you have the alarm in a shed, you could have this external alarm outside the shed under the eaves. Or if you place in a rv, you could mount this outside so it is heard outside the area you are prortecting.... Product Works Great for price!!!!!!!!!!!1

Hi! No, unless that door was never opened. The alarm would go off anytime you closed the door, so unless you're just protecting that door and not using it--I wouldn't buy it for that purpose.

"You are too close to the vehicle, please step away" lol. I had the alarm along time ago. Loved it. Yes both systems will work. You'll have a blue wire I believe from the remote start that will conect to alarm.

Yes, it can! I bought one of these and found the instructions in one of the reviews does work. Reposted here for your convenience... "Use the included strange USB thing to hook it up to your computer, then use the free PowerAlert software from Tripp Lite's website. Switch the software into Business mode, then go over to the Action section. In the list of actions is "Set Audible Alarm". Set the value to 1 (even if it's already 1, overwrite it), then execute the command. After a second or two, the program will unfreeze, and it will be completely silent when it loses power from then on!"

We hated this unit. We are using Chamberlain motion sensors outside in key areas. There is not arming or disarming they just let me hear when someone is by a window or on the property. I love it. The alarm system you are looking at stopped working. It was loud but we had the extra siren. We never hooked up doors or windows. If someone gets in, they would set up a motion sensor within seconds so we don't find the window and door alarms worth the hassle.

you can use it with z-wave, not with zigbee. i use it with with a z-wave controller and it works very well. you don't need a security (alarm) system.

The system will operate locally only without contractual monitoring. To use the monitoring functions you must purchase the correct cell card for your area. Before I purchased monitoring I trained the family in a local only configuration. I have it announce all doors and windows through the control panel. The system performs flawlessly. I don't think there is any option for a remote speaker to announce doors, etc. so place the panel where you can hear it. It gets fairly loud. I have additional "bell" tones before the basement door announcements since I can't hear those doors being opened from the interior of my house. I can hear the announcements throughout my ranch style house with the panel in the dining room.

You would have to buy an alarm. Make sure its compatible with the proximity sensor. It's good to have. Sometimes strong winds will make my alarm chirp. It's a good buy. I also bought a tilt sensor. Helps alert when shady tow companies try to lift your vehicle or someone tries to steal your wheels.

I'm really not qualified to answer that. Perhaps contact the manufacturer of the alarm to get their take on your idea.

I love the mount and it can be very secure. You may have to press down hard on the turned down end of the rail to disengage the rail, and then pull the unit away along the rail.Cheers, Tom

There is a risk leaving it next to the entry door. A burglar could smash the unit before the delay runs out. What I did was to buy a remote keypad for the entry door. I have the main unit placed upstairs where I can set it at night. To prevent a burglar running up the stairs following the sound and then smashing the unit I put a motion detector at the foot of the stairs with the zone set to zero delay. That way anyone trying to get to the main unit will set the alarm off before they get there.
