Easy to install had a few problems kept arming itself and siren would go off unable to stop siren with key fobs would say alarm disarmed but siren would continue to sound good quality flashing lights siren is not very loud got in touch with sender about problem gave me advice to sort it out I think it's worked had no more problems

So £149 for the 8 piece Alert system, I thought is a bargain. My existing alarm is 20 years old so I thought I'd update it with this.Installing the door/window sensors and the PIR units were really easy. I bought an extra PIR unit so there are now 3 to match the old system. Getting them all scanned and recognised by the app was without fuss, though it took a while for the green light to come on on the main unit that plugs into my router.The last thing I installed was the siren. I noticed that it's constantly flashing left and right every 3, 4 seconds. I thought that must be a drain on the batteries? The siren I've installed in the same position as my old one and needs the long step ladders which I don't enjoy climbing, so I hope they last.I purposely triggered the siren to see how loud it is. It's about as loud as a car alarm, so not crazy loud. Again, it's probably to save on batteries.That's my main concern, how often I need to change batteries. Other than that, it's all good. Maybe I'd also prefer to screw on the door/window sensors rather than using sticky tape.Good deal though.

Very impressed with the customer service. Was easy to install and operate and the only problem I had was with a faulty device (an additional add on purchase) customer service resolved the issue promptly and without quibble. For that reason 5 star rating.

Simple to install and set up. Worked perfectly for first 18 months. Noticed that lights had stopped flashing on outdoor siren. Set off alarm and siren didn't work. After removing and refitting siren everything was ok for a couple of weeks. Then had same issue. Haven't tried removing it again yet. Also one of the PIR detectors has started to randomly set off the alarm. Don't know why yet

The alarm is so easy to set up and install, I have had this installed in an outdoor office for around 4 weeks. So far I have had no false alarms or issues with connection. The app is very simple to use, as a few others have mentioned, the alarm box has a continuous flash, as the box is battery powered, it would have been nice to have an option to either turn it off or at least to increase the frequency time in between flashes.

I own the ERA Pro alarm system for one of my properties which works very well.This model however is completely different, yes it’s easy to install, yes it’s easy to alarm/disarm, yes the door breaker alarms work fine..BUT…the pir motion detectors are absolutely useless!! Once armed you can move around no problem for quite sometime before they even pick your movement, I timed over 6 minutes of movement before it activated the alarm, this is plenty of time for a burglar to get in and take what they want.Useless, this item is not fit for purpose and should not be sold to the public, especially from a renowned brand such as ERA.Avoid it

Good quality, very easy to install alarm system with clear instructions. Value for money compared to the big installers for a similar product. My only criticism would be that the alarm box cover screw should be encapsulated so that it cannot fall out during fitting when at height. Mine went on the gable end. Tip ... I tied a piece of cotton to it then held the end in my teeth so if i didn't lose it if dropped. Alarm box periodically flashes at night whether armed or not so a useful deterrent. Would definitely recommend.
