When a zone is breached, a signal is sent up to 1000 ft (300 ft through walls) to the remote Base Unit which plays one of six user voice-recorded messages identifying the zone.
Common applications include: Wireless Driveway Alarm, Perimeter Security, Customer and Visitor Notification, Customer Greeting, Child Safety, Pool Security, Delivery and Supply Room Monitoring, and
Annunciation of activity at CCTV Camera.

To install, simply mount the PIR where you need zone control, plug in the base unit and then record a voice message to identify each zone. Other features include: on/off switch, audio line output connection, adjustable volume control, missed message indicator, missed message playback, one button message check, enable/disable PIR switch, and low battery voice notification. Voice Alert System-6 is an excellent plug and play solution for hard-to-wire areas.

I bought this system online no less than 8 yrs ago and I am looking to update. At present I have two monitors outside on two different gates, when I change the batteries I see that I will need to look at getting new ones in the near future because of outside wear and tear. These monitors have been outside and have endured -45 below air temps, straight line winds, thunderstorms and everything else that we get up in northern Minnesota. They work as well through the winter as they do in the summer. I never dreamed they would last so long! A very good product.

Had this for about 5 months now. Would have given a five star all the way exept for a few points. These sensors are easy to set up. The instructions are good and very detailed. Several things would be a needed improvement. First is a day/night setting. As is they are on all the time. A day/night switch would double the battery life, which is about 2-3 months. (It depends on how often the sensor is activated.) Changeing the battery is a bit of a hasstle as you have to take the sensor mount and all down. Which is a pain due to the screws that attach the mount can not be reached unless the sensor is moved in the all the way down position of it's adjusting slot. Pay close attention to the part where it says mount out of direct sunlight and weather and do not mount on metal. I built a wood stand with a cover. The single biggest drawback is the sweep. It takes three of these to get 180 degree coverage. At their price thats almost $200 for a complete side to side coverage. They work great at night and it seems like the colder the better the range. They work VERY POOR in fog. We had a blanket of fog with about 25yrd visability and their range was about 10 feet. The six voice messages is nice and anyone who considers buying these should know that's six messages. You could have 5 sensors activating one message. Two on another and so forth. Watch out for cell phones. They WILL reset the receiver if you leave them close to it and you get a incoming call. (Blank out all the messages) By close I mean within 6 inches. Volume control on the base is a great feature. Transmission range/ability is real great. I have one about 90ft from the base on the corner of a garage. It tramsmits through the entire garage (the walls in the garage lined with metal tools, etc.) and through the house. That's three walls and a load of objects. Overall the biggest draw back is the price of the sensors. You can make a great security system with these and even for the moeny you can't go wrong.

My truck was stolem last Feburary so I bought tis system to warn me if anybody tried to steal my new truck. One week after the install the unit prevented my new truck from being stolen. I bought anouther unit to mount in my garage ( pluse it gave me another sensor to monitor both sides of my driveway) so it could be heard outside so they know their motion has been detected. Dogs & cats will set it off but I have mine set to the minium delay time so if it goes off more than once I know there is a problem & not just a false alarm.Setup is fairly easy but take time to adjust the sensors & the unit will work great.

I purchased this system as a simple driveway alarm, but soon realized that it can be used as an inexpensive, but very effective perimeter alarm for the house. After adding 4 more motion sensors, I now have 360 degree coverage of my house and ample warning when anyone approaches. Great product!

I purchased the Voice Alert system because there have been a couple of break-ins in our neighborhood. One of them occurred while people were in the house. This system is a good way to monitor the perimeter of the house. I have been getting a couple of false alarms due to stray cats in the neighborhood; however this may be due to the mounting locations of the sensors.

Just installed this thing a few days ago. Very cool system. Pricing is kind of steep, but well worth it knowing that is someone is in my backyard I will know about it. Very easy to install and set up. I had it all programed in a flash. Had one complaint about the grey motion detector / vibration sensor... This does not actually pick up motion from people walking around (like the white ones due). It is more for placing on doors or gates. I ended up using it on the back of my gate... If someone opens the gate, trys to jump over the gate or shakes the gate to see if it is locked... Then the detector will go off. Again, very cool product, I am very pleased so far... Best of all, it has a volume control on it so if it goes off in the middle of the night it doesnt scare the crap out of you. Buy it, you'll like it. Carlos.

Pretty good system. Easy to set up. The sensors detect people and vehicles at 70 feet, more than what is advertised. I get very few false alarms from blowing leaves, branches, or birds. One complaint is that the sensors have failed temporarily: once after an ice storm and this morning when the temperature hit 17F. Otherwise, the sensors are pretty good. The monitoring unit is reliable. Could be improved with a battery backup in case power fails, and by recording the time of each alert, especially useful when you've been away for the day.

Have been looking for a reasonable system for traffic control in an industrial environment where the security contract didn't include a more elaborate gate motion detection system. Have tried several other over the counter detectors and found they don't stand up well to outside use, eat batteries precociously, and faiil to alert on too many occasions. The voice alert sounds good because each of up to three monitors can be individually programmed, setup is quick and highly intuitive and the monitors come with swivel heads that make adjustment quick and easy. Overall have been pleased with the first month of use. The detector beams are rather short ranged and need to be fine tuned. A little experimentation and we found ideal sites to post them to. Am concerned with the robustness of the monitors. Their rather plain plastic and the seal around the front face is cheap. It's a pretty good system. Think the monitors are grossly overpriced. The base station is well worth the cost. All my gaurd crews have reacted favorably to it.

I set it up and tested it. It has passed all of my expectations. Last night was the first night of use. I have some very big dogs roaming the area to include my yard and pool. It did detect some activity which I promptly got up and looked out my back window with gamo pellet gun ready. I believe what was back around behind the area was probably a rabbit because I never saw a dog. I bought an extra IR unit giving me a total of two and use the first one down further in my woods as an 'early detection' unit. I like to know before whatever 'it is' gets close! I feared the signal from the IR units to the unit in my bedroom might be weak because of the distance and outer brick walls and then two other walls into the bedroom, but that was not an issue at all. I would highly recommend this unit to anyone. It is inexpensive and easy to set up via the quick start guide.

We purchased this product in early January and have never had any false alerts. We are very please with the security it provides. At the same time I purchased this alarm, I purchased an expensive camera system from Costco. We never installed the complicated system of wires and actually returned the cameras last week. We decided to just buy an additional sensor for our voice system and feel very secure with our decision. Our only regret is not taking home security serious enough before our robbery occurred. This system is very inexpensive compared to the amount of loss we encountered, not to mention the insurance hassle.
