does this system alert local police of a breakin?

You can set up the control module to call the police directly but all they will hear is the system message (ie. Alarm sensor # was triggered). Also the calling method is landline and you will need to tell the police dept that you setup your system to call them if alarm is triggered. My advice is that you setup system to call you and then you be the judge to call the police of it's a real break-in situation.

Yes. This is function is called Virtual Leash. Alarm can be sounded when either the leash is broken or connected.

You can log in and see what the camera is viewing from your cell phone or computer. It also has a motion detection setting that will email you 6 pictures that it takes when it detects movement. This is great because you get instant emails and you could have a picture to send to police of the people that break in.

Thanks for your interests. The window/door sensor can work as the glass break detectors. Because when the glass is broken, the parts of window/door sensor will be seperated, then they will send alarm to main device.

No, the system is good for monitoring, but it has no alert alarm or anything. It is basically plug in and watch through your computer. I bought the system for monitoring my fence line. It allows you to play back video so you can see what went on while you were out. Overall, its a good system for the price.

Not real sure as I have been recording off site to keep the information safe should I have a break in.

It sends an email alert to your smartphone with a pic. I found a lag between when the alarm was triggered and being alerted, therefore I use an inexpensive ' driveway alarm' with multiple sensors with separate sounds to be alerted and where. Hope that helps.

It may be, but I gave this device a fairly negative review after I mistakenly called the police department when I was setting it up for my mother. I would suggest reading the most recent reviews before committing to buying it.

No, the alarm is basically a deterrent to a thief. When the security is breached, the alarm does sound, but not loud enough for even a close neighbor to hear. I guess it amounts to a scare tactic to a thief looking for an easy break- in. Hope this helps

No, it is one way communication between lock and pager. The pager will sound if the alarm goes off, but pager does NOT communicate with lock.

I have mine on side gate and a shed. Both give an alert on 2GIG alarm pad and send notice to my phone.

Yes the panel makes beeping when there is an intrusion either from door/window contac t or from sensor.

Yes. There is a test mode which when activated chimes when any alarm is triggered (window, door and motion detector).

No, it detects motion, and sends a signal back to the master console, which handles all the alarm functions.

Yes, it beeps and a few seconds later the alarm goes off. Gives you time to turn it off or the intruder time to not be sure what exactly set off the alarm.

I have no problems detecting police . However if they don't have their radars on it will Not detect any even if they are parked on the road side awaiting you . They do however will surprise you with turning their radar on and off at random . Hope this helps you . If not maybe your detector is not functioning correctly ?

If they are hardwired they are designed to all go off if one goes off. This way if you are in another part of the house you know there is an alarm within the house.
