Small but mighty!
We're moving from a house to an apartment soon and I was looking into affordable home security options. These alarms are perfect for renters and homeowners alike. The alarm is battery operated, so there's no need for expensive installation. Below I've listed my pros and cons of these awesome little alarms. Pros: Small, discreet design. 3 settings - off, chime, alarm. Easy to toggle between the three settings. VERY loud chime and alarm settings. (I jumped when the chime went off for the first time.) No-brainer installation. (Stick on) Cheap in price but not in quality! Cons: Depending on how your door/window set up is, it may be difficult to position the alarm at the correct distance for it to work. (I included a picture showing the max distance I could position the two pieces without disrupting the link between them.) The alarm turns off when the two pieces are put back together, which I can't decide if I like or not. On one hand, it's more convenient if the shrill alarm can be quieted quickly, but for security's sake it's not the best deterrent. The alarm is loud enough that even if it's turned off quickly, you'll be alerted that your door or window was opened. Overall, I love these little alarms. I plan to order more and install them all around my house. They are smaller than I anticipated, but I'm pleased with their quality and functionality.
