Works as advertised, and very inexpensive,
This does exactly as it says. The chime is kind of annoying (and it’s pretty loud), but the alarm is mainly what I wanted it for, and it’s loud. Yeah, the unit is not the greatest quality, but if you are looking for something cheap that can be armed/disarmed remotely, and just makes a whole ton of noise if someone moves into an area that you don’t want them, this will do the trick. One good whack, though, and it’s probably done for. So, just put it up high, where it can’t be reached. Mount it to the ceiling if you’re at all worried about that! Heh. It makes a ton of noise when motion is detected…job done. The wall-mount has a swiveling arm that connects to the unit, so you can move the sensor left/right up/down to your desired position. This unit seems to work best indoors…range doesn’t seem as strong as advertised for outside, but for indoors, it’s perfect. As for long term, I’ll return to this review if anything occurs, but as of right now, it’s fine and easily earns it’s 5 stars. I mean, come on, it’s $12 (at time of purchase), and very effective. Don’t expect ADT, and you’ll be satisfied. It’s $12!
As of June 27th: it’s still going fine…put good batteries in this thing and it lasts a while. With cheap or nearly dead batteries they seem to get finicky when arming/disarming.
As of Nov. 1st: I’ve got 2 covering different parts of my house…I only arm them at night and I haven’t had any problems. I’ve also noticed that when the batteries in the remote start to go, you’ll lose considerable range/consistency of arming/disarming. But replacing these are cheap; they are those little button cells (each remote takes 3), which you can get a 10pk for a couple bucks. Otherwise, still no complaints here.

|Great for Caregiving of Seniors,
My mother-in-law (age 92) lives at home with full time caregivers and lately she has been getting out of bed by herself in the middle of the night, gets dressed, and heads into the kitchen. 2 or 3 times she has fallen, thankfully only with scrapes and bruises, but she could easily have broken a bone. We needed an inexpensive way to inform the caregiver that she was up and about.
My husband spent hours visiting every home improvement store, garden shop, baby store, and big box store looking for a motion sensor that (a) wouldn’t wake the neighborhood, (b) would alert the Caregiver of movement in the room (baby monitors work with sound, not so much with movement), and (c) is easy to use. This Motion Alarm/Chime is perfect! We set it on the chime mode and placed the unit below bed level so it won’t go off when she rolls over in bed, but does chime if her feet touch the ground. The remote control is easy to use and we hang it right outside her bedroom door so the Caregivers can arm it or disarm it when they leave or enter the room.
The unit probably wasn’t designed for this purpose, but it’s working. Glad to have found something to meet all of our criteria.

|Nice product but would change chime,
Purchased this product for our second home. Have the GE comparable item at our front doors and the chime is pleasant. This product is installed in the lanai and works well as the GE but the chime is continuous as motion is detected. Little annoying but it does what it is supposed to. Works well outdoors in a covered area in FL even when we had a cold spell for a couple of weeks. If you are using this product for the chime, I would recommend the GE, it is a little more pleasant. Have tested the alarm function and it is loud. This product comes with two remotes. One of the remote came with a dead battery.
Its a little difficult to arm and disarm. Only one button on the remote and it takes a few tries to know when it is armed. The GE comes with one remote that is a little more simple to operate. It has an arm/disarm button also a switch on side of remote for chime or alarm. This product you have to go to the main unit and manually switch from chime to alarm. If the unit is placed high, you have to get a ladder to activate the switch. Would recommend the GE, the range is much longer and it is great to announce if someone is at your front door.
Overall the product does what it is described to do.
Hope this helps with your purchase.
