When tripped, does the siren make noise continuously until deactivated? Hours? Or a few minutes like a car alarm?

Just go in to the program menu, find sirens, and there you can set how long you want the siren to sound when activated. You can set it anywhere from 1 - 999 seconds

Mine lasted about 3 minutes. Alarm sounded and wouldn't shut off. I haven't tried returning it yet.

Set the alert feature to "siren" mode and it will sound relentlessly. At its highest volume setting, I can not fathom anyone sleeping thorough the siren on this thing. If you do, then you need to have your hearing tested!

Yes, the receiver (base unit) is in the house and has a selector switch to set the unit to a constant beep, to a siren or to OFF when a sensor is tripped! You in effect are not turning the sensors off, you are turning off the "monitoring" of the sensors.

Maybe like 3 seconds when it goes off. The sound will activate only when motion is detected.

No, it well delay about 20 sec. To make a call then it will sound the siren

There is no Delay and it has a loud siren like sound that shut off after about a minute and a low beeping alarm that stops after about 15 seconds!I keep mine on the second setting!

Michael: Yes, the alarm unit resets after going off. It sounds for about 1 minute and it has a setting of high or low. I bought 4 of these units, 2 for RV and 2 for home. It can also be used for doors too as it can 'hear'. It uses 2 AAA batteries. Great product for security and advance warning.

It goes off for at least a minute if you do not reset the timer. I've never let it go longer than that because it's pretty loud and annoying.

I don't know. I use it as the alarm and it gets louder until you turn it off.

There is a delay when the siren sounds and the call is made. I do not know if that's the question?

The only "noise" this unit makes is when the alarm goes off after being set.

Like the others, I haven't had mine trip yet so I can't answer about the duration of the alarm. According to the paperwork that came with the unit, they say to replace the unit after it's been tripped.

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

I leave mine on all the time and it draws less amperage than an alarm-no moving parts whatsoever. You can set it to shut down after the vehicle is stopped too. I bought another one for my other car too.

The horn connects to a Security System as a second siren. It is not a stand lone piece. It goes off when the alarm is triggered. We have our set up with Motion detectors but the fortress systems have other options as well.

When the power is cut, the external siren is inoperative, but the siren in the control head continues to operate (internal battery) if triggered. I do not know how long this battery lasts.
