While hanging on the doorknob from inside the home and If someone just knocks on you door from the outside will it set off the alarm .?

I think it would take more movement than that. The unit has to be moved around alittle.

The alarm can be turned on and off from inside. The bell/ chime is probably loud enough to wake you up, but shouldn't be "scary." It reminds me of the sound when you would drive into a full service gas station.

No unfortunately it does not and I have set off the alarm so many times that the neighbors no longer are responding to it siren, so I had to go with a national monitoring company.. To make this alarm effective, it needs to be used in the environments like a collage dorm as it was first was introduced... Or in a apartment building setting where it would make enough noise, that neighbors would call police complaining of the noise and send officers to investigate its origin...!

I can't be completely sure, but I'm leaning towards yes--it would set the alarm off. This hasn't happened to me, but I've seen where other people have said that a strong wind has set theirs off. So I believe it would work for you.

From my experience it will go off with almost any movement. Even a strong wind blowing against the window will set the alarm off.

that's a good question, and i'd say probably "yes". but if you've already pulled the pin, the alarm will sound at least until the unit is smashed. once it's smashed though, I don't know if it will still sound the alarm. and if it does, I don't know how one would make it stop considering that you couldn't put the pin back in.

Pretty much yes, con sometimes it go off by it self maybe because I had another alarm that was ready install or the person didn't know what he was doing. It's really good product yes I would recommend it

if you touch the alarm when it's on it will go off and will scare the crap out of the theif before he can turn it off it is very loud. i have placed it to where it can't be seen so there is no chance of anyone turning it off with out alerting me.

as soon as the unir is hungo nth e door knob, give it 15 to 20 seconds, and any movement will sound either the loud alarm or chiming of the bell.put it on the inside or out, and movement will set it off

hello, the system has sensors, that you install where you need them, when you activate the alarm, if anyone tries to enter thru your door or window, the siren goes off , and it is loud enough to scare anyone off, not to mention alert your other neighbors, you can set it up to call your cell phone, or the local police dept, just make sure that you ok it with your police dept, every city has different rules. good luck

Yes, the alarm will stop sounding after 45 seconds. It will be activated again if it experiences further motion.

It might if the door was jarred or thumped hard enough, but I suppose if they were able to do it gently, then no. Just my guess, haven't tried it personally. :) I've triggered mine mistakenly on occasion by bumping it or hitting it with the dog's fetch toys, but it's smart enough not to sound when the sliding glass doors are opened. Ultimately I think these alarms are designed for sounding upon breakage of the glass, they are definitely a good deterrent in that regard, but for covert entry through doors being opened(or removed) they probably won't fare so well, unless it was done in a forceful enough manner. Hope this info helped!

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 believe this person is refering to a bump key. In which a person makes a bump key which can open any deadbolt. I would think not because whoever makes a bump key needs to bump it with an hammer which will probably set off an alarm. Anyone else has an idea?

No, "alarming" is not a motion detector. It's the bell when someone press the doorbell. thanks.

If you did this it probably would set off the alarm and I am not sure you want to do this if you do not need to. It is a very loud sound.

No it doesn't. The alarm goes off and you can hear it anywhere in the house so you run to turn it off LOL
