Scout ARTIC Wireless Home Security Alarm System Review

This “smart” home security system from Scout works seamlessly with their APP, keeping you in control of your alarm system and your response at all times. Apart from the stylish minimal design, what stands out with this alarm system, is that you can program the Artic on how it should respond to an alarm.

Should it call the police, dial a specific phone number? You decide. Program it to contact you or the authorities, or a private security company number, or even your work.

The heart of the Scout system is the base station which acts as the hub and you connect your wireless router to it. From here it communicates with each of the sensors, and uses WI-FI and the cell network to send alerts or messages.

RFID SENSORS

Each door sensor has a RFID reader built in. These are used when you don’t have your smartphone or wireless devices near hand, you then use the  RFID keychain fobs to arm and disarm the system.These sensors will trip the alarm once it’s armed if they detect any opening or closing of the doors.

The motion sensors are ideal for securing rooms with glass doors and full length wide windows. They are great for securing multiple entry points in one room so you don’t need more than one sensor.

If the power goes out your Scout alarm has a battery back up. Also great if the power gets cut by a criminal. Your alarms stays up. The hub and the sensors you get with this system are white discreet and exquisitely designed. They look more like an ultra modern surround sound speaker system than an alarm. The 3G will also work if the internet goes down, so you have dual protection here to monitor your home from afar.

This Scout security system has been  designed by one of the world’s biggest technology manufactures, GE. They have made a really professional, robust and extremely portable system here. Pick it up if you are moving home, or renting. Also landlords will find it hassle free to install and easy to move. It can even be taken to your holiday or vacation home.

GE Personal Security Alarm Kit Review

The GE Personal Security Alarm Kit is an all out the box complete security alarm system for your home. It integrates a doorway alarm system with a 4 digit keypad and it includes 3 independent sensors for your windows. Most importantly, there’s no circuitry or wiring needed for this to work so you can down tools for now!  This system is good but missed a trick in the form of motion alerts via the 3G or wi-fi network. But that is reflected in the price.

ge alarm kit door unitWireless systems are hassle-free to set up and operate and they provide excellent security for your family as you can monitor them and receive alerts via the internet that get emailed to you. So if anything breaches the alarm system you can have an alert forwarded to your email. This can buzz you on your smartphone, so you will immediately know if your alarm has been triggered. Here’s an example of one here.

But this system isn’t trying to compete in that market, which is reflected in the price, what it does have however is an ear shattering 120 DB alarm. The neighbors will no doubt hear that!

So you can either mount the sensors and the keypad with screws if you are DIY savvy or use double sided tape. They require batteries, and there is a battery test switch plus a low battery warning indicator which kicks in once they are running low. There is a mounting plate on the back of the keypad so it would be best to screw this onto the wall. Well not bad for A DIY alarm kit- 1 screw is the least you can get away with! Once you hit the “AWAY” button on the keypad you have 45 seconds to exit the house before the alarm is armed. Upon returning you have 30 seconds to put the code in to disable the alarm.

Switch it to “HOME” mode once you are in the house. The system will chime each time a doorway is open. Great if you have young kids  and you want to know if they are sneaking out or you notice a door has opened when it shouldn’t have. So a cheap as chips system which is better than no system and it frees up your budget to purchase extra security items.
