How could this be used to trigger a loud alarm (as a burglar deterrent) when a door is opened?

The starter kit is weak on triggers, it is built more based on schedules, accessories can be purchased such as triggerlink which is a wireless trigger that can placed on the door jam that will cause an alarm. The software is weak on using triggers.

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.

I don't know, it's so loud I shut it down when tested. it's a great deterrent though.(even if it was a blinking light w/no alarm, it would work

you can use it as a entry alarm but you donot have disarm or arm its alarm or alert if its on alarm it can only work with you being in house now if you put it on alert it will let you come and go with just a beeping noise but once you close the door all the way it will shut off

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.

According to the paper that came with it, you press either the sounds or the volume key to stop the alarm,. I tried it, but it doesn't work very well. The tune usually doesn't last very long, but there is one tune that goes on and on.

I am not sure that would work. I think this device uses temperature changes to detect movement. For example, I have this right next to my front door. If I open the door (and it opens into the sensor) nothing happens, as soon as my body is clear from the door then the device detects something. Perhaps something using the contact closure module will be more effective.

Wayne. Swann has some other non-coded door alarms that aound immediately when the door is opened. I bought a programmed one and a non programmed one for my G/F's house.

Not necessarily. They are designed to pick up vibrations such as would occur when someone bangs on the frame or glass or if the window pane is broken. You would be better served if in addition to this type of alarm you installed the type that is specifically designed to activate when window is opened. Amazon sells those also. Again I would recommend using both.

It doesn't really work like an alarm that you arm & disarm. It's purpose is to remotely notify you that a door is opened. It doesn't make a noise at the door, only at the wireless signal receiving unit located elsewhere. I'm frequently at the other end of my house upstairs, so I use one on both the front & rear screen door to alert me of the door being opened. It works great, I set mine up this way over a year ago and I've yet to even need to change any batteries.

It works well but not specifically as a "freeze alarm." Can't answer your questions. rwe

I don't see why not. You would stick one part on the door frame and the other part on the moving part of the door, and when the door is opened the alarm should sound. The alarm is triggered when the two pieces separate.

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.

I dont have a door/window alarm, but I dont see why you have to buy a separate receiver. You have up to four zones, so you would just set up the door or window detector to anyone of those you have open.

its a siren which needs to be connected to an alarm system, the alarm gets disarmed when you enter your code into the panel/keypad, this is not a standalone siren

supposedly it will activate if the door knob is turned then the door is pushed but not successfully opened as in a door that is locked. In other words, the alarm senses the jiggle of the door. You'd have to tweek the sensitivity for it to sense the push of the door but not trigger as a false alarm.

this device is normally place within easy reach to access the key pad. With this in mind, burglars are able to smash them , hence deactivating it by force even after triggering the alarm. If someone is around the premises, he or she will be alerted by the alarm . Also the alarm may cause panic for the burglar. It is unlikely to fall from the wall if secured properly.
