"..Alarm will wake you up in case collapsing walls fail to do the trick" Will it detect 3-3.5 quakes in N Texas? (No collapsing walls yet).

if the wall collapses, as you say, a strong earthquake, pray much for you to be alive the next day. if you have detect earthquakes in north texas, would not know say that I live in the Caribbean.

Hi,The quake alarm comes with instructions on how to set the sensitivity. It could pick up waves from a very small earthquake if it is set to a high sensitivity or be turned on a lower sensitivity if you prefer. Please let us know if you need more information.Thank you,Amanda More Prepared

Yes, you can set the sensitivity to your preference.... In fact, it can be so high that it will go off if someone slams a door in the house!

idk, probably, depending on how loud is loud, how close to the monitor it is and most importantly how thin are your walls ?? If the music is that loud, that you are "bringing down the house", I doubt you'd hear it at all if there was a simultaneous earthquake, God forbid......in my unprofessional opinion. Hope this helps :)

I didn't see anything in the manual that it would provide an alert. No failure yet, so I can't say from personal experience.

Hellow!! I believe not,this alarm is wall place installed, it sounds if the wall move, but if you have a powerful sound equipment that make the wall move, may be it's will sound.

The sensor will not directly make an alarm trigger, but with the SmartSense Hub and a little bit of work with the SmartSense scripting thing on their site you should be able to instruct an alarm device to trigger when a certain type of event is detected. There might already be examples of this on their developer site.

if the person lifts up to turn, it will go off, but normally shuts right off. I have not experienced false alarms. This was very beneficial to us.

Yes. You can set it to emergency alert mode and if there is a weather alert for your area it will come on. And yes, it will wake you up.

They all alarm simultaneously if one detects a problem, that is the point, so if the one in your basement goes off so does the one on your second floor (since you probably can't hear the basement one from upstairs while you are asleep). I don't recall if these have jumpers to change frequency, but if they don't I think it was that when you program them they will recognize if a neighbor has them as well and will pick a frequency it senses as open. Please read the directions from the manufacturer to confirm, but I'm sure it is one of the two methods.

Yes, if you turn it to "On", it'll play out the normal NWS broadcast. The "Alarm" button puts it in a mode where the NOAA alert broadcast will activate it and it'll start broadcasting. Or the weekly test will go off and terrify your wife. YMMV.

Hi, No it will not. It's for reading engine codes. The Alarm system is an auxiliary system is if it is monitored at all.

You probably need to adjust the sensitivity. Mine goes off if there's an earthquake close, but also it depends on if the primary waves reach me. Check other Q&A;'s here on how to adjust it. If it's set right, it should give you a few seconds warning before you feel the earthquake.

My is at the entry of my house - also not such a great idea although it will alert you if the power is disconnected from it and there's a battery back up -- a burglar could still have enough time to take off, unplug it, and remove the chip before the system has time to react or sound. I think the best thing to do (and I need to do it myself) is maybe install some screws around it so it cannot be removed from the wall too easily or too quickly. I'm worried if move it far from the entrance or "hide" it -- it will be found anyway as soon as the alarm sounds or I won't have enough time to get to it and turn it off before it sounds. The only issue I see with this alarm is that a burglar w/ half a brain could destroy it before it was time to do anything more than send you text message that the power has been disconnected from it -- but it will also send you that message when there's a power outage.

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

Our daughter's alarm went off once in her backpack...she was looking for something else when it happened. She has not had any other incidents when it went off unexpectedly.

I think,that this earthquake alarm need a strong movement to sound, it is supposed to be attached to a wall, if you are 5 milles away i believe that it not going to sound by airplanes movement, i live a few feets of a street where all type of cars and trucks pass,i had never hear since i installed to this date.

It is literally like the loudest alarm, it scares you awake! It is meant more for heavy sleepers, are you meaning to use it as a timer?

All alarms will alert in unison to let occupants know no matter where they are in the structure that an event is occurring thus giving them time to get out of harms way. I do not believe the frequency is adjustable.
