eufy Security5-Piece Home Alarm Kit, Home Security System, Keypad, Motion Sensor, 2 Entry Sensors, Home Alarm System, Control from The App, Links with eufyCam, Optional 24/7 Protection

This system is a great option for small apartments. The app interface is easy to navigate and has customizable security settings for all devices. The alarm is loud, especially in a small space. I’d imagine the complaints of inadequate volume apply more in a larger space. It is a self-monitoring system and does require WiFi, but it will still notify you when you’re away from home. All and all, it’s an easy and affordable way to have peace of mind.

After almost a year of use of Eufy alarm system I would say its a great system for limited purpose. It will NOT replace an exterior alarm system. The sound of the alarm is low, which is great for apartments or if the use will be more for monitoring than deterrence. Here I share some pros and cons.Pros:• Door sensor can be used as door chime.• Easy and quick setup.• Small and lightweight.• Quickly notify any setup event to the phone. Even when the Homebase is not working properly (see cons). i.e. if a door is opened a notification is received within a second.• Schedule modes, setup multiple users/ passwords.Cons:• Homebase reliability: Once in a while I have had to restart the Homebase because the chimes are not working. I have been unable to restart the homebase thru the App even though it has an option.• Automation limitations: Some devices can be linked to the Homebase, others can not. Read carefully before purchasing. But it is easy to control each device within the App.

Nice little system for the money. For design, I'd give this 4.5 stars, taking off half a star for the low alarm volume, as the other reviewers said. It is weird they don't have an add-on siren. I have not tested the motion detector as extensively as I would like to, but it seems to work fine, and I like the fact that the sensitivity is adjustable. The door sensors were easy to use.I found the manual a bit irritating-- both the online version and the paper version. I would have liked more detail: Does the system send a signal to the base station through wi-fi, some other RF frequency, or is the wi-fi just used to send the alerts? But I was able to get it set up, once I figured out that the batteries were dead and I had to order new ones. Minor quibble.The biggest issue is that the batteries were DOA, so you're not really getting a $150 system on sale for $110. To get decent batteries, you'll have to pay at least $10 to $15. So let's say it was $125, and still a good deal for that price.-- You will want an UPC (uninterruptible power supply) for the home base unit and for your wi-fi if you have a breaker box outside. And if you're going to be away for a while, I'd disable the alarm on that UPC. So if the thief shuts off power to your unit, they won't hear the alarm of the UPC, and will probably figure there's no power to the alarm system. And be wrong-- if they break in, the system should still work, still sound the alarm, still send you a notification.-- I think the alarm volume could be solved, though it would cost some money: Get a little guitar amp, either with a rechargeable battery or on another UPC, get a little lavalier microphone (that is the correct impedance for the input, which will be a PITA), put the mic under the Home Base, and just leave the amp on, cranked up, all the time.

Easy setup and adjustment.Some features Seem redundant.Good non monitored option.

The item is as describedand I got my order in a timely manner.

The door chime and motion sensor only chime on my cell. The alarm when activated is too low with no volume button. The chime or signal that your door or window receives is just an ordinary corny sound. It would be nice if it could let you know with a voice, telling you what door or window is open and close, so you don't have to keep checking your phone each time it belches. Besides these inadequacies it works. The keypad is wireless and very simple to operate. The home box connects to your router. The motion sensor and the two sensors you could use for a window or door works well. There's no monitoring fee unless you want one. The self-sticking backing included is very strong. Or you can screw them in with the included screws. Hope this help.

I purchased this alarm kit since I own a set of eufycam 2C at home. The good thing is I can use my existing home base to add this alarm system under the same eco-system. This alarm kit is easy to install and setup. The quality is solid. So far, everything works well, tried the alarm, and it sounds loud. Besides, it seems the battery life of the motion sensor and the entry sensor is quite long, which is good considering the price point. No monthly fee is good. The eufy security app is easy to use as well. The only complaint so far is that the eufy home alarm kit has not added any options of 24/7 professional monitoring services. I really hope eufy can add this feature in the future because I do wish there is a professional team that can back me up in case something bad happens. Overall, this product is good and very easy to install and setup. This is a good option for DIY home alarm systems for the price.
