Does this have an alarm mode? We are only interested in it for security purposes in an apartment setting to be alerted if the door is opened.

This chimes when the sensor is broken. You can change the chime but it doesn't keep going off.

No, it only alerts the system. You can connect an alarm to a controlled outlet and switch it on automatically when the contact is opened or the sensor is moved

No. There are two settings, beep and alarm. Beep just beeps while the door is open and turns off when closed. Alarm is a jarring, loud ALARM that goes off until you turn it off. It wakes me out of a sound sleep.

No. I beeps at the end of the time only. BTW, I discovered that it also can act as a stopwatch (i.e., counting up). I don't think there's any alarm in that mode, although I haven't let it go to 99+ minutes to see. (grin)

Yes, and yes. There is a very loud speaker built into the base unit that sounds if the alarm is triggered, and I can hear it from anywhere inside, outside, and around the house when it goes off. Additionally, there is a log you can view on the device itself that shows every door opening/closing, window opening/closing, sensor tripping, etc. And, when a sensor triggers a change, it shows that in real time on the display. Very handy when testing and setting things up, too!

Yes. Sometimes the vibrations from closing another door or dropping something set off the alarm

I had no problems with false alarms. I suppose if it was on a door that was very loose in its frame or a gate that might sway in the wind, it is possible. For a typical home/apartment type door, there should be no problem. The only issue I had was not being able to turn it off, without triggering it briefly.

Yes, there is a beep option. Alarm repeats ever couple of minutes for about a half hour in case you have been out of range, outside or such. I find the latter very helpful.

Yes, it's called test mode but works just fine. It's meant to test a sensor but I leave it on all the time to be notified when my kids open a door. It's actually a dual chime like ding...dong. Not ding. I don't have a motion sensor installed though. If you are familiar with programming alarm panels you can configure the motion not to chime when in test mode.

There is mute button on the back of the main unit. It is there because it is the ONLY way of turning off the alarm. Unlike what other people have stated the Alert mode goes off every second when the door is open and shuts off when closed, It is about as load a loud microwave ove, louad enough to wake you but not ear piercing like the alarm mode. The Alarm mode triggers once the door is opened and does NOT shut off even after the door is closed. The ONLY way is to press the mute button on back. It is very loud!! It's loud enough to be scary. I recommend you use alert mode for wandering children or pets. Alarm mode is only good for serious break-ins not for wandering children or pets. There is mute button on the back of the main unit.

Yes, it does. The description is something like "Turning this feature on or off for a particular sensor zone causes the Main Panel to emit three beeps if the sensor is triggered while the system is disarmed. It can be used to remind you to arm the system when you leave by a specific door. It can also act as a bell, such as when a customer opens a door and enters."

I lined it up, opened the door. When the alarm went off, I took the backing off and stuck it permanently. It works perfectly. Someone opened my door one night and I heard the alarm from upstairs. The intruder left promptly. Also, it alerts when children leave or enter the house, or leave the door open.

Yes it does but alarm goes off for no reason n sometimes doesn't want to shut off...I don't recommend this particular product. Try another brand..good luck

There is no alarm or anything like that, but it does shut off. If you are near, you can hear it click off. Hope this helps

It has settings for Low, High and Off.To avoid false alarms, you have to "aim" the sensor at the door. That way it doesn't matter if there's movement in the room.

Yeah, it's built to do that. There is a 'home' and an 'away' mode. You just assign which triggers you want to be active for each one. For mine I have doors and windows only when we're at home and when we are out the away setting will trigger the alarm with doors windows and the motion detectors.

It has a doorbell setting and an alarm setting. I don't think neighbors would hear it. If you have two sensors, one will be single beeps and the other will be double beeps. You will know if it's front or back door.
