How many seconds will the chime sound at base unit? Is it long enough to be noticed? and loud enough? Try to compare with Driveway Alarm product.

The first chime will sound for 5 to 6 iterations (about 10 to 15 seconds). It can be heard throughout the house. The alarm function will tell your neighbors that a sensor has been tripped. It is so loud as to be something you won't want to use unless you're almost deaf. I only use the chime position.

It has two. One sounds like a ding dong chime. The other is really loud klaxon sound. The only issue i had with this was placement if the reciever. It "almost" had to be line of sight. It did work on small objects aka critters the size of house cat setting it off. Which to me is great. That small means it will get the bigger critters too. Was in an apartment and the patio was easy to get to. Thats why i got it and it let me know who or what was out there if i was in another room.

Did not actually time it, but it sounds at around 7 seconds. I don't know how accurate you need to be, but this should fit your requirement. The inspector I had was so impressed, he requested a copy of the specs to show other clients.

The chime is pretty loud. You can definitely hear it from another room. It chimes only once every time you open the door just to alert you. The alarm though is continuous.

No. Agree it's not annoying. It sounds like a standard two-tone chime--ding, dong. I have a rather large home and do not always hear it from the upstairs master bedroom--furthest room from chime.

Chime (chimes itself), Off and Remote (sends to remote) switch on the sender unit. My swutch is a bit difficult to operate but I have not bothered to replace unit. Low, Off, High switch on receiver unit.Chime on receiver malfunctioned and now just "blips". Again I have not bothered to replace it. Cheap unit but incredibly useful for a wanderer. Works from front to rear of house so range is adequate. Could be used as an intruder alarm I would think. Good luck.

Yes, it continues to beep for 60 seconds after it goes off. As I said in my review I would not buy this again because it has such a short alarm time. If you step outside or go to the garage for something you may not realize it has gone off for several minutes. The other one I have rings for five minutes and also has a countdown screen which continues to count down so you'll know how long ago it went off. Just my thoughts.

I really never paid attention until you posted this question. I just tried it and it chimes for one minute and not until you turn it off.

So I just tested mine and it does beep about 4 times every 10 seconds but it's not too loud or intolerable. Justenough to create a sense of emergency. I sized mine out for 60+ min of Critical Communications runtime but these are really meant to be used for short-term save everything and shut down functionality. You may be able to turn the beeping off but honestly, it's not too obnoxious.

The alarm will stop under 5 minutes of ringing. I don't know how long exactly, but under that.

Yes, I would buy it again - works great so far - had it for 8 months and no battery change yet. The alarm is a chime and we have it downstairs and are able to hear it fine....and the alert light flashes until you reset it. It will chime every time a vehiclepasses by the remote sensor. A strong wind will set it off sometimes, but I think I can mount it better later.

It has a doorbell setting and an alarm setting. I don't think neighbors would hear it. If you have two sensors, one will be single beeps and the other will be double beeps. You will know if it's front or back door.

It's not a great unit, I would look elsewhere. To answer the question more like 15 mins.

Yes, but it does more than just a short, small beep. See the manual at http://www.mace.com/pdf/80355_Product_Manual.pdf.If you just want something that makes a 10-20 second low beep, check out Harbor Freight driveway alert system.

I live in a more rural setting. Not sure how much leeway you have with your back yard situation, but it is loud enough to be heard and identified by neighbors. Not sure which, among the others you mention, is more quiet.

Maybe is defective cuz all you have to do is set the button on alarm, if the chime work, that means is installed in the rigth way. Make sure the alarm isnt on away mode

It's a quick chime, but it is loud. If you had the alarm setting on, yes, you'd lose your hearing and your mind if you let it run the whole time you were looking. But if you just have it on 'chime' you will have the quick chime notification (which is quite loud) but then it would be silent.
