A motion sensor detector. A motion sensor detector can be placed in a room or hallway. Once the detector is ‘armed’, it will alert you via your phone that movement has been detected.

Yale HSA Essentials Burglar Alarm Kit - Screwfix

The good news however, is that this kit is again modular, and is designed with expansion in mind – you can add different functionality and additional pieces of kit as and when needed, so you could technically start with the smallest, 4 piece kit, and then add to it over time when budget allows. The Kit You Get For this article, I have chosen a comparable kit, the 11 piece kit which I believe offers the best value for money and the best all round functionality.There’s 4 different offerings available here, with the basic system the one I will be looking at here. Again, like the others, you can add aditional functionality to the system, but you are somewhat limited for choice as it is not as expandable as the others above. The Kit You Get & What It Does If you really want to, you don’t have to drill into anything, and simply use the mounting tape adhesive pads and strips supplied to mount the indivdual pieces of kit to walls or door frames (apart from the outdoor siren, which will need to be fixed to the wall using screws). If you do want to screw the baseplates in, that’s also fine, as everything that needs to be fixed in position also comes with screws and rawl plugs or adhesive strips. Please note, the kit you get depends on the variation you buy. Choose the kit that is best suited to your home.

A Siren. If a sensor has been activated whilst ‘armed’, the siren (which is usually placed on an outside wall of your home) will sound an alarm (like a burglar alarm). This is a huge deterrent and will alert anyone around your home that something is wrong, and will hopefully force any intruder into retreat. All items can be easily slid on and off the basplates that are provided for charging purposes, and all apart from the range extender and base station are rechargeable via the supplied USB cables. Pricing Table – Ring Alarm System Kit Comparison Our first area to study is normally the features. We’ve given a full list of features for YALE HSA Essentials Alarm Kit above. This should give you a good idea of how good the product is in terms of features and functionality.

The eagle eyes amongst you will also notice that the ‘5 Piece Kit’ actually has 6 pieces in it. And the ‘8 Piece Kit’ has 9 pieces in it. In fact every one of them has an ‘extra’ piece in them, and I can only think it’s because the base station in each kit is counted as ‘standard’. More information on quality can be found in this old but still very helpful article from Harvard Business Review. This is a great bit of kit, that does come in more expensive than the Ring offering, yet offers a little bit more with certain kits (like the doorbell camera and light).
