Straight Talk Remote Alert System

This system actually senses the activities and sends an alert to advise that an intruder has been detected.

Recently, I had some items stolen out of my truck parked inside my detached garage. If I had only had this system sooner I would have known about it and could have stopped the theft. I first purchased a GE brand system from Lowe's and that system was cheaply made and the range would barely reach to my house 40 ft. away from my garage. So I took the GE system back and called Wal-Mart only to find out that the only security system in store were by Straight Talk in the Electronics section. The initial price of $130 for the base keypad and one motion sensor seemed a little high but, take into consideration that the base has a cell phone built in and can call up to 5 numbers if there if a sensor is triggered or it can text up to 3 numbers for the same reasons. It can also be armed or disarmed via a smart phone app. The base has all the features that most professional systems offer except it calls the number you specify instead of a high priced monitoring service. The motion sensors can be adjusted for more or less sensitivity by moving some jumpers in the sensor and you can also turn off the LED light in the sensor if you don't want to draw attention to the sensor if someone triggers it. The manual does not tell you about these features but, they are right there inside the battery compartment for the motion sensors. The sensors are supposed to be able to reach back to the base from around 320 feet. Probably a little less if you are going through very many walls etc. You can also buy a key fob remote control to arm or disarm the system for $25 and additional motion sensors or door/window sensors are $30. I have since purchased 3 additional motion sensors and am thinking about buying a few more just to be able to monitor more areas for intruders. I work nearby my home so this is an ideal system for me. This would also be a super system for people who have a lake house/ vacation home that needs monitoring but, you don't want to spend a fortune. No phone lines are necessary since the phone is built into the system and it will even tell you which sector of sensors was triggered. If you want to go crazy you can add up to 16 sensors to each of the 4 sectors. I only wish that I had this system before I was robbed recently. I've been telling all my co-workers about it recently and some of those guys are paying in excess of $30 for monthly monitoring. This system is only $10 monthly or $100 for a whole year. I paid for the $10 card when I bought the system but, I will be buying the $100 card for a whole year within the next month. Some of the best money I have spent in a long time.
