If someone broke into my apartment, would this deter them while I call 911? Also how far away does perpetrator have to be

This will not back fire on user even if the user is contacting the attacker at the same time, just be sure not to touch yourself with the stun guns pins.

No, just showing this device would not deter anyone who breaks into your apartment, you have to make contact with the invader to shock them. I would suggest the writer purchase a Taser gun or explore other defense options that can be applied from a distance .

Yeah it definitely would, but you do have to be within arms length obviously

You should get a whistle. It won't stop crime, but it will let someone know one is being committed and then, maybe, they might find your body later.

It depends on your surrounding ambient noise. We did hear ours going off in the basement from the upstairs and the other side of the house, but we didn't have much other noise on at the time. If we'd had the TV on, we probably wouldn't have heard it right away. If you change out the batteries For these when you do your smoke detectors, then it should sound the alarm for at least a day before losing power. Should be enough time for you to hear it when the house is quiet, like bedtime.

The front of the alarm is what senses motion and the sensing pattern will be cone shaped (starting at the alarm and getting wider out) so you want that pointing directly at the widest area possible. I don't set mine up by the door since I have several doors and windows a burglar could come in, what I do is set mine under my big screen TV that I want to protect. It's hidden in there with all the components but senses anything moving in the entire living room. If someone got in through a window, the first thing they would want to do is get electronics, tvs etc. so this will go off blasting the alarm so loud the burglar will be scared away. That's the whole purpose for it. I also set these up on some rental properties that I own but put it by the door like a normal alarm keypad. Makes it a nice touch for my rentals.

Sorry, I would need a sound meter to answer, as asked by Amazon. But the burglar probably won't have a meter either.

It is a recorded message to 911, then they can speak to you through the receiver. My mother in law fell and she pushed her button it went to 911 she could hear them but they could not hear her over the TV. They showed up so I call that success. The pendant does not receive or send audio

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 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.

you have to be in the house it will not work if you wanna go out and lock up your apartment. if you are in the house and put on the lock whoever is trying to get in with a key on the outside cannot get in. i have a nosy landlord as well get the camera from amazon that looks like a air freshner the camera is very clear when you go to review your pics

No. This locks the door from inside . Door opens in and basic use for when u sleep.. or just. Extra safety. I think you would bee better off with a door alarm and or motion alarm.. siren is loud and some will call your cell if activated. Good luck chris

The console can be as far away as your telephone cord (25) feet or whatever, it does not matter if the console can hear your father or not, any time 911 is called the police respond no matter what.

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.

Check the laws in your state. Now if you are asking if it would be effective against intruders in your home, in my humble opinion, it would doubtlessly be effective against intruders. It'll flat mess them up while you run and call for help.

they could very easily but im assuming the thief hears the alarm and assumes the cops are on the way...smashing it then wouldnt do any good....this may be a good assumption for soft criminals but for hardcore criminals maybe not. if you live in a bad area you may want a real alarm system. for the teenaged thieves inmy area I'm assuming this is enough...i have home owners insurance too so stolen goods would likely be replaced.

not loud, I don't think it would be heard by a neighbor, unless one was below your unit, there might be some detected through the floor to their ceiling.

absolutely simple to destroy this simple device. however, the shrieking alarm is deafening...it could frighten a novice intruder to leave or awaken the owner. basic device, but to alert someone it is good. it might be good on a door of the house to know when kids are entering an "off limits" area or perhaps on the inside of a gun safe, etc...
