It is so much less then some other pool alarms. Is it as good the more expensive kind?

This was recommended by the people who built our pool. I suppose it depends on how much "alarm" you need, but this thing will wake the dead.

It is easy to install, noisy and obnoxious, and it passed the pool final inspection. It was a lot cheaper than installing auto door closers on 8 foot high sliding glass doors. I left them on for a couple of days and then disabled them, keeping the parts if I need them again. Much more reasonable than $600 door closers!

It is a very good product. I installed 13 a month ago and they are working perfectly. It is very easy to install. I highly recommend it.

Other alarms will work i had to obtain this particular model to pass city inspection.

I don't have a more expensive pool alarm to compare it to, but I can tell you that it works really well for us. It will work with either one or both of the alarms - although, I bought it thinking it could work for two doors side-by-side (I have 2 sliding doors right next to each other) and it does not, it is meant for one door and has the extra set of alarms for a screen door.

Yes it is as good. It definitely lets you know when a door or window has been opened when the bypass button has not been pressed. I would recommend it.

Works fine. I've never used the more expensive ones but I can't imagine that big of a difference to pay 3x more... Uou have to push bypass button to exit, so you have to get used to it...

I don't know but what I can say about that piece of junk is: It developed a problem after about a month Cobys warranty wanted me to ship it to them for service at my expense (which is normal) BUT they wanted me to send them money for the return ship to me. AIN"T GONNA HAPPEN! I sent it back to Amazon for refund and bought another brank thats been fine for, I think 1-1/2 to 2-1/2 years now. I'm sorry but I don't use it for an alarm so can't comment on that.

We Recommend that you drill a hole and use the ASP (pin) which is 2" long and takes a 5/16" hole. If you cannot use the ASP then you can remove it by turning it counter clockwise and put a weight (small sandbag as an example) on the alarm to hold it steady. This alarm comes with a 3 year warranty and we will cover the alarm if it falls into the pool, even if the ASP has been removed. Thanks

Nick, I really don't know. The landlord installed these ones to replace exactly what you have. Sinerely, has been an excellent choice since he does not want to be called in the middle of the night when the other alarms failed or run out of batteries making that bothersome beep beep we all have heard at 3 am, lol. I believe they are a thousand times worth the money invested and as a prime you may qualify for an extr discount on your homeowners insurance.

No, I have had no problem with false alarms. I am very satisfied with this economical product.

I Wish I had the answer but I took mines to an auto alarm installer and they hooked it for 200.00 they did a great job.

I don't know since I am installing it in a travel trailer and I have only used a small part of the alarm.

I haven't had ANY false alarm. I LOVE this! It was actually used in a research study!! Well worth the money. I LOVE that you can roll over and see it blinking to have peace of mind. As a NICU mom that came home with babies on medical monitors.. I feel this is just as good. Be careful of the sensitivity though. It can pick up fans and if the bassinet is close to your bed it can pick up your movements. So be sure to test it without the baby in while the fan is going and other regular movements around it. :-).

I think it is great compare to other cameras I have seen. I have 5 at customer site and they think that they do the job very good. Nice and clear over the net as well. I have one customer that monitors there pool area and it does a good job.

No. This device is pretty basic. It does not alarm for low oxygen saturations either. We just use it for checking my husband's oxygen levels, because he has significant lung disease, and we want to be able to correlate how he is feeling and looking with what his oxygen saturation actually is. It works well for that purpose. Devices that alarm for high pulse rates or low saturation levels start in the 350.00 plus range the last time I priced any.

I went with AlarmSim, but as @LeppardQueen said, it will take a while to pay off.. I figure either way is less expensive than getting a new system.. I'll report back once I receive it an set up.

It's not bad as far as noise goes. It's a white noise that doesn't bother me. The first one I bought rattled so bad I had to return it. As far as reliable, it works very well. I just didn't like how everything that was included with my last Ac, was an extra charge. They charged extra for the flimsy sleeve, and the just as flimsy grille on the back of the unit ! I resented the slimy marketing scheme they used to get their hooks deeper into the consumer. If I remember correctly, these two items added 100.00 extra to the cost of the unit ! If I didn't need mine in a hurry, I would have shopped around a little more. It's not bad as far as noise goes. It's a white noise that doesn't bother me.

The HF3520 has a 2nd alarm setup which, in theory, could be used to wake up your mate, or as an alternate setting (weekends, school days, etc). The HF3520 also has a sunrise simulation which changes the color of the wake-up light from a dim reddish glow to the same slightly yellow white glow as the HF3510. That's why I opted for the HF3510 since the extra features weren't useful to me. Over the last month, the pricing has fluctuated a lot for the HF3520 but not for the HF3510. The pricing seems to have dropped for the HF3520 to the point where it could be cheaper to get that model over the HF3510 had I not gotten a good deal. Do your homework before buying.

To test my alarm I quickly submerged a 3 gallon bucket of water across from the alarm (about 15 ft.). In about 5 seconds the alarm went off. In my pool, this 25 lb. weight sets off the alarm.

We have a 4lb and 5lb chiuahuah and the alarm works fine. However, placement on the pool, water level, and wind are all factors that can affect performance. Follow the directions closely. An occasional false alarm seems normal.
