5.0 out of 5 stars BEST WIRELESS SECURITY SYSTEM!, August 6, 2010

I have read all the security reviews on Amazon from all the different security MFG's. Skylink, GE, Bulldog Security etc. I was impressed that the reviews on this product did not mention anything about poor quality, poor range etc. I first called the AAS security people and was impressed that over the phone they could answer all my questions. I would like to let you know that the main programmer/ auto dialer is the same on all their units from AAS100 to AAS600 systems. The only difference is the amount of door sensors, motion detectors, sirens etc etc. They have so many additional add on's for their security system it is incredible, such as remote wireless sirens, smoke detectors, gas detectors, water detectors and more and more. So I ordered a custom unit from them: 1 main programmer/dialer, 1 remote siren and 3 motion detectors and 2 remote key pods. I setup the system on my kitchen table in about 1/2 an hour. The siren is loud, since I purchased the separate wireless siren unit it can be placed anywhere you have an AC outlet. The motion detectors work beautiful. Not too sensitive but work at long distances. I put one on the motion detectors in my den and it looks into my kitchen and will detect you if you walk at the end of the kitchen 40ft away.The main programmer has built in battery backup. I have a 3000 sq ft house and I don't know where to put the 3rd detector, the other 2 detectors cover my entire first floor. I've only had it for a week but I am impressed. You have the ability to dial into this system and listen to what is happening, works with my blackberry cellphone. You can set the exit and entrance times and many more nice programming tricks that you do not find in other systems.This security system with my Avaak Vue wireless cameras are perfect. When the alarm goes off I am able to look in and see what's going on from anywhere. Will update in a few months.

UPDATE:
The system is great. No problems. I use VOIP Vonage for my home phone and it works great on out going alerts from the AAS 100 security system, but on incoming calls the Vonage answering service will answer and I can't dial into the AAS 100. SO....I bought the VOIP Grandstream Handystream 286 adapter from Amazon went to CallCentric and signed up for their VOIP phone #. Its perfect for a alarm system because it will dial out and I can now call in to my alarm. Cost? $1.95 per month. GREAT! If anyone finds a better VOIP source let me know!

Second update:
Found out my dog can set off the motion detectors. No problem, raised the pointing angle and now my pug does not set off the alarm. My wife and I set it every time we go out. Even with the dog at home. Love this system.

Third update Feb 2011:
System still working great. Had to replace the 9V batteries for two of the motion detectors, so I would say they last about 6 months. I replaced the batteries on all the units anyway. Easy to do, and I did not have to reprogram any of them. Amazon has some great deals on 9V Alkaline batteries. I also dropped my VOIP CallCentric and I just use the Vonage VOIP. No need for two systems, I never had to dial into the security system, no false alarms!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Alarm System - AAS 100, September 1, 2009

I am very pleased with this alarm system. It offers the same things that Brinks, ADT or any other professional security company would do without the monthly bill. After doing a little research I found out that rather if you hire a professional security company or install your own alarm system, it is against the law to have a alarm system dial directly to the police or 911. They will not respond to a pre-recorded message. That is why any professional security company will always call you first before calling the police and that is the same thing that this system will do. It calls you (with your prerecorded message) than you call the police. You also need to contact your local police department to find out if the city you live in requires you to have a (ALARM PERMIT). It only cost an average of $25.00 a year. Without an (ALARM PERMIT), you can be find heavily.

The alarm is easy to install, easy to program and it has a number of great features. If by any chance, someone managed to get in your house with out setting off a door or window sensor, they still won't get passed the motion detectors. The alarm will sound off (which is very loud) and the system will continuously dial up to 6 phone numbers (people that you know) to call the police. If your phone line is cut the alarm will sound off. If someone tries to tamper with the system the alarm will sound off. If you are at home, it can be set to turn off the motion detectors and still arm the door/ window sensors so you can move about your house freely. There are a few other features for personal preference. All in all I think it is a very good system and would recommend it to anyone. AAS also offer a number of different size packages to meet your needs.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Alarm System, June 16, 2010

Had this alarm system for the last two months. Also, bought the GSM Cellular Module, because I don't have a land-line.

After being broken into my previous place, an alarm system was a must have for our new apartment home. Before moving in, I began the installation. At first, I was concerned with the directions which mainly consisted of a photograph example, but the installation was a breeze. The door alarms are simple to mount and based on a flawless technology. The motion detectors were a bit more difficult, but I once I figured out how the jumpers coordinated with the spectrum of detection (which is enclosed in those directions), it was fine. I set mine to a large distance, so I should not have been shocked that the cat set it off. At a mid-distance, my cat didn't trigger it at all.

Although I could have used a bit more description of the modes (HOME, AWAY, etc.), all of the directions for programming the system were clear and concise. The flexibility of this system is amazing. You can program up to 10 phone numbers and customize the timer delays as much as you need to. The key fobs are awesome. I have friends that paid $800.00 for their systems and having had to come by while they are gone, I hate the keypad-only systems. You can set this system using the key fob, which can transmit through our metal door or arm it by phone.

As for the alarm part, I have had this go off accidentally and by design. The accident part had to do with guests who didn't follow directions and my cat. In every case, I was notified soon enough to disarm it relatively quickly. The alarm is loud and deafening inside the apartment, and is certainly loud enough to be heard within the building.

I would highly recommend this system. You can use it with a monitoring company because that is supported, but it certainly beats the $800.00 models that these monitoring companies charge for their systems. Plus installation is easy and DIY. I feel safe at night and when I am away. The day-to-day use is simple and easy to work into your morning/night routine.
