Easy to use do-it-yourself wireless alarm kit for home or business provides peace of mind without breaking the bank. Connect in minutes with easy mounting, pairing & convenient wireless operation (uses 3 x AA batteries for Receiver & 6 x AAA batteries for Sensors)^.

Looks nice. I just need to fix a few issues so I can try again sometime.

Nice looking kit and I'm giving it 2 stars because it actually works BUT. Swan needs to do a few things with this kit, like (1) there is no on/off switch for the alarm unit, you have to take out the batteries to turn it off if you don't want it to turn off (during the day?). (2) The motion sensor consumes three (3) AAA batteries (IMHO unacceptable) about every 2 weeks. (3) Although adjustable, the alarm clock is too loud on all settings, we have to put it in another room between the pillows and

Lots of problems with motion sensors

I bought two of these kits from Revain and one from Lowes which only had a motion sensor. I gave my son one of Revain's. We programmed 3 sensors to a receiver and everything worked fine for about two weeks. Then they began to work sporadically. Then you stopped completely. I had one in my driveway, one in my yard, and one on my porch. I called Swann three times and asked questions. What they tell us doesn't work. You've got all those calls too, but the motion sensors come with sound by default.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Expensive

Swann Extra Sensor Motion Detector

I love this motion detector. I have a 16-channel surveillance system with cameras inside and outside my home, but I still got robbed.

It wasn't until I saw in the morning that my cars were unlocked and my gear gone that I was able to play my DVR and see the hooded bastard break into my cars and take my gear. (Good…

Nice looking kit and I'm giving it 2 stars because it really works BUT. Swann needs work on this kit. For example (1) there is no on/off switch for the alarm box, you have to remove the batteries to turn it off when you don't want to turn it off (during the day?). (2) The motion sensor consumes three (3) AAA batteries (IMHO unacceptable) about every 2 weeks.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • weak
