Looks good and quality is good for a job

I have searched intensively for a smart alert system. My goal was for a system that has (1) Resnobile price, (2) High quality, (3) Easy to manage by mobile.I have decided these three criteria because (1) I do not want to wast a lot of money for a small house and only two persons live on it. (2) I do not wast my time with a rubbish system and lose time, which is money. (3) I am new in the UK, and I do not know anyone who could turn the system off if I am away. I do not want to bother my Neighbors.I came through this system in Amazon many times. What put me off not to buy it is negative reviews and 3.5 Stars. I kept searching and searching until I needed a system for critical security concern.I bought this system one week ago ( I will return to update this review after six months ) and here are my comments :Pors(1) Reasonable Price compared to its features and quality.(2) Easy to install for someone familiar with technology in General ( Total time of Installation & Testing & learning features was 6 hours)(3) Endless of amazing settings makes you have 100% control over the system(4) You can control the system from a keypad or your mobile. You can control this system from anywhere! Do not worry if you forgot to arm your home.(5) Very Expandable, you can add devices as much as you need ( up to 40 ), which I found it give you the ability to design your system based on your need and cost.(6) Multiuser setting. For Example, I can give the estate agent a separate password, and I can know if they ( for any reasons ) entered my home.(7) Full ability to control notification by many methods, Email, SMS, or Push to your mobile.(8) A lot of people comment negatively on Yale mobile application. I found it AMAZING, but you need an average mobile.(9) Very high-quality material that you can feel it in every part of the system, Even the security stickers!(10) As this system give you instant alert on your mobile, buying security camera which can be accessed by mobile will give you full control of your home.(11) There is no subscription fees for their mobile application and online services.Coins(1) The person who is not familiar with technology will find this system complicated ! not because it complicated but because of its endless features.(2) The guide (which is printed in high-quality material ) is not comprehensive. They have tried to make it simple; they do not explain all features of their mobile application in their simple guide.Bottom Line: I would recommend it for any person who needs full control of a security system.Update after 5 months : I could not say more than THANKS YALE! This system worth every penny spent.

Looks like the original working item, I have not used the flashing light option as this denotes the alarm has been activated.

The Yale Sync Smart Home Alarm system has two purposes. Firstly as a traditional "ring the bell" alarm and secondly as a smart alarm which notifies you on your phone and allows you to arm/disarm your alarm when you're out.As a traditional "Bells only" non smart alarm it is definitely worth 5/5. It was quick and easy to install, all the fittings were provided. I purchased additional sensors so I have installed 5 PIRs, 5 Door /Window contacts, the external siren and the keypad. All of these took under 2 hours to install (ignoring the external siren - it was raining, that was done separately the following day). The 'built in alarm' in the hub is 100db of loud and more than adequate alone, the second one is more of a deterrent than something that's required. I have successfully setup the part arm and full arm modes with ease.Being able to set multiple pins is a great idea, obviously however the more pins you have the easier it is to guess and your alarm is only as secure as your weakest pin. I have a pin for myself and then 2 family members have different pins so if they need to disarm it they can, but I will also know who has been in my house if they do.The only issue I have had is occasionally when using the App occasionally it says the 'hub is offline'. Which means I cannot get notifications or remotely arm/disarm the alarm. This is easily fixed by turning the alarm off and on again physically, just a pain.This is an issue with any smart device, whether it be blinds, bulbs, alexas, alarms or smart cars. Hopefully overtime this becomes less of an issue. This model is far superior than their old Yale Smart Home Alarm system and operates at a much better range and is more reliable.Ultimately it comes down to this: If you want a "Bells Only" alarm this is great, if you want an "alarm with notifications" this is good but not bulletproof. If you want the most reliable service possible you'll need to buy an ADT alarm with subscription and even then there is a slight risk of it going 'bells only'. For context, my setup throught ADT would have been £800 installed and then £40 a month £930 more in the first year and then £480 a year more forever... So I'd definitely recommend this unless you're a Jewellery store or bank.4/5 would definitely recommend for most people. Would be 5/5 if the hub never disconnected, however overtime the server technology should improve this, I'd say my hub uptime is around 95% from what has been monitored so far.

Emits very low flash every 9 seconds needs to be brighter. Not had it long enough to report on battery life
