My mom lives alone & gets home from work after dark. She wants to make sure nobody is in the house waiting inside to ambush her, will this work?

Yes. There are two ways she can check. Easiest would be before she enters but has wify access to the house. This will have the quickest feed and she can easily pan the camera around. The other way is you can check the camera remotely from any internet access but the setup is slightly trickier and camera response is slower based on your internet speed.

Maybe.There is configuration that will instruct the camera to send an Email when motion is sensed. You can use this between the hours she is gone, so the camera will sense motion between times it should not.However, please be aware this camera is not for a beginner to configure. Someone with technical knowledge will probably have to get involved.

The easiest answer is to buy some extra presence sensors. Then when they are detected you can have the home disarm. For example, I keep one on my keychain (mostly because from your phone you can make the presence sensors beep to find it) and one in the glove box of my car. When my keys and car are both gone, it activates away mode which arms the alarm and locks any doors that i left unlocked. It also turns off all the lights in the house. When the sensors are detected again, the alarm disarms and the door coming in from the garage unlocks, and the system is changed back to either night or home depending on the time of day. Does this answer your question? As an added bonus, you'll be able to check the app on your phone to see who is home.

There is no off/on switch on the sensors but if she got creative she could trick the sensor with a magnet but you could use a motion sensor in the area of the exit and let her know that area is out of bounds or the alarm with go off.There are ways to make the system redundant.

Most definitely will. The best strategy to counter that would be unplug all electronics at your house.

My mother just pushes the button from another room without a direct line of site and it works for her.

Lol,it's best you turn the light off so they don't know it's coming. It won't tase if the light is on.

If it is inside the home, any detector will be difficult to locate the ring. This one will definitely pick it up, however it will ring up nearly the same as a nail or pull tab.

absolutely simple to destroy this simple device. however, the shrieking alarm is deafening...it could frighten a novice intruder to leave or awaken the owner. basic device, but to alert someone it is good. it might be good on a door of the house to know when kids are entering an "off limits" area or perhaps on the inside of a gun safe, etc...

Hello, i dont think this is an option. I think your first concern in this situation should be your safety (i.e. locking the door) and getting somewhere safe. Step 2 should be dialing 911. Step 3 Accessing your firearm locked up in wall safe. If you want something more handy and quiet, you may want to look at the Gunvault products. They are table top and can be placed right on your night stand.

It will alert you if some one tampers with the vehicle only with the two way remote once its within range. but it will not stop a thief from smashing your window n stealing stuff. It just might make them think twice wen they see u have an alarm system..

No. It has a few red lights that come on. Very quickly. They won't see it unless looking directly at it. The video option makes the light come on longer. I wouldn't get this one for your purpose. Get a blackout one. More expensive but will work better for thieves. Or put it up high pointed down.

I'm pretty certain this only works as a second control. But since most of the DYI alarms are keypad + system all in one box, it allows me to hide the main one in a closet and just use the touchpad near the door.

Apparently you are determined to WASTE YOUR MONEY. Since the system is total junk and does not work, the sound is not likely to be heard at all. Now if you would prefer to believe that this piece of garbage has any possibility of actually deterring a burglar, then you might as well also make believe it is as loud as you want it to be. The only way to make this system act in any manner as a deterrent would be to leave in in the box, leave that box on the floor, and then hope that your prospective burglar trips over the box.

I am not sure that would work. I think this device uses temperature changes to detect movement. For example, I have this right next to my front door. If I open the door (and it opens into the sensor) nothing happens, as soon as my body is clear from the door then the device detects something. Perhaps something using the contact closure module will be more effective.

I bought this item . This would work for your mother if she will respond to your command. If she does not want to respond to your command this item will not solve your problem, This unit is simple to use. Good luck!

This unit should work just fine...it just needs darkness and motion. I have been using the Mr. Beams (MB723 Battery-Powered Motion-Sensing LED Stick-Anywhere Nightlight, 3-Pack) for inside my house and they work great and are a cheaper option.

it is a motion sensor, once you put your telephone numbers it will cal you and leave a message. the sound alarm can bve turned off. but if you have a pet it is not a good idea. get a IPcam to monitor home
