Can you add an external alarm that can be installed on the exterior of the home? If the alarm is inside the house no neighbors will hear it.

I don't know, but if you can't, forget it. According to police (and common sense), external sirens are highly recommended. In fact, anything external is highly recommended: strobe iights, motion activated flood lights (the brighter, the better!), rotating red lights, lasers, you name it! The best would be to be able to hook up your stereo with exterior loudspeakers playing hard techno. Better to have your neighbors call the cops with a noise complaint than getting your house emptied, and/or your family killed. Just make sure to check with your local police first. They might have different rules... I don't know, but if you can't, forget it. According to police (and common sense), external sirens are highly recommended.

You'll need to contact the manufacturer for an answer to this question. The model that I own only has an alarm on the main control module which is attached to my router in the basement.

Currently no. However, according to their web site's forum, it's in development.

I wouldnt be sure about that. All my three movment sensors are in the same floor the only way to know would be trying. Sensors are infra-red so no objects as wins moved courtains trigger the alarm. A living animal like your pet will butvyou can desable areas where they move. I have two alarms conected to the main unit (wireless) and believe me the noise would frighten any intruder.

Hellow!! I believe not,this alarm is wall place installed, it sounds if the wall move, but if you have a powerful sound equipment that make the wall move, may be it's will sound.

I think,that this earthquake alarm need a strong movement to sound, it is supposed to be attached to a wall, if you are 5 milles away i believe that it not going to sound by airplanes movement, i live a few feets of a street where all type of cars and trucks pass,i had never hear since i installed to this date.

My experience with this is you have to use a 3rd party company, like alarm.com. They provide the app you download.

The alarm has exposed wires, no plugs. Setting this up with an adapter would require some creativity and would probably be a fire hazard. You could make it work but there are better solutions for an interior alarm.

I would say no. If this helps this is how ours is set up. The alarm is on the inside of the door of the mailbox which is kept closed. The beeper is in the house by the wall, so the alarm and beeper do have a wall (and a 88 foot driveway plus width of road between them). We love it!

My is at the entry of my house - also not such a great idea although it will alert you if the power is disconnected from it and there's a battery back up -- a burglar could still have enough time to take off, unplug it, and remove the chip before the system has time to react or sound. I think the best thing to do (and I need to do it myself) is maybe install some screws around it so it cannot be removed from the wall too easily or too quickly. I'm worried if move it far from the entrance or "hide" it -- it will be found anyway as soon as the alarm sounds or I won't have enough time to get to it and turn it off before it sounds. The only issue I see with this alarm is that a burglar w/ half a brain could destroy it before it was time to do anything more than send you text message that the power has been disconnected from it -- but it will also send you that message when there's a power outage.

You can use an existing doorbell. That is what I did and it works beautifully.

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.

Their is no alarm built into the switchYou could possible add an alarm thru a contact block. This is a 16 volt switch that simply breaks the connection if water is presentThe switch is designed for shuting down a furnace or AC unit if water is present. I have mine connected to a motorized valve that shut off my city water if water is present Good luck

Yes the external siren needs to be connected to the main alarm but I haven't try it yet and I am sure it wouldn't be any problem good luck

I had no problems with false alarms. I suppose if it was on a door that was very loose in its frame or a gate that might sway in the wind, it is possible. For a typical home/apartment type door, there should be no problem. The only issue I had was not being able to turn it off, without triggering it briefly.

Probably not. While its loud enough to hear clearly from the other end of my apartment I would think you would need something significantly louder to hear from a greater distance outdoors.

The plug for the alarm does not have a secondary plug, so you will be using one of the circuits (plugs) in a standard duplex outlet. The system worksgreat.

The short answer is "Yes". However, the unit may be too sensitive and sound the alarm because of the carbon monoxide gas emitted by your vehicles. I use mine in the kitchen area of a park model mobile home to detect any propane leakage. Any inconvenience caused by a false alarm is insignificant when compared with the alternative.

I haven't tried it outside. The sound is loud enough to hear a couple of rooms away inside the house.
