Doberman SE-0101, Door & Window Defender. Silver/Black

by Doberman

Product Description

The Doberman magnetic Window/Door Alarm is a sleekly designed unit enabling it to function with many sliding glass windows and doors. The magnetic Window/Door Alarm is triggered by both window vibration and entry opening. Place the included magnet on the outside frame of any window or door you wish to protect. When opened by an intruder, the magnetic circuit is broken and a loud alarm will sound. The alarm unit will also sound when window vibration is detected. Printed on the reverse side of this product is a red warning label that can be seen outside through the window. It notes that your property is protected by Doberman and deters potential burglars.

This unit is NOT intended to be used outside. If used in an outdoor setting as mentioned in another review, it will suffer the same fate as any other electronic device not designed to be exposed to the elements. It is also not a replacement for a home security system. This device was designed to warn a homeowner of a door or window being opened or tampered with, and perhaps give him/her time to call 911 or get away.

The alarm is loud enough to be heard one or two rooms away and probably loud enough to give any would-be intruder second thoughts about entering a home. The vibration detection seems to work pretty well, but isn't overly sensitive. A light tap on a window isn't going to set this thing off and it seems to take a pretty solid thump to get the alarm to sound. I actually think it is tuned just about right as far as sensitivity goes as it will definitely detect someone trying to break the window but won't constantly be going off every time a truck drives by.

The magnetic contact is a plus, as it can be used to detect glass breakage or a sliding window being opened normally. I have mine positioned so that I can leave my window cracked open for ventilation but get a warning if the window is moved. I have had these up for a couple of months now and so far every alarm I have purchased is functioning well with no problems.

Purchased three last week, delivered and installed this week end on mobile home in a college town.
For the money, an excellent deterent to complete entry. I expect intruder would back off and try another target instead. Anyone inside would be well notified.
I read the posted reviews, before making a purchase. I think someone commented that it wasn't as loud as expected... It's a relative thing I suppose. It met my expectations. Good product.

This door alarm is very loud, but then it's supposed to be. If you have a kid who is an escape artist like Houdini, this thing will let you know every time he/she tries, and in some cases, they won't follow through with their escape plan. This is a very valuable tool for us, and I recommend it to all who need to know when that door opens.
