If you are considering a wireless alarm contact - this is the only way to go! They are completely hidden when the window is closed and work well in doors. You will need the correct drill bit, which you can get from Home Depot. If you buy one that burns through batteries in a couple of weeks, it's probably defective. This occurs in a very small number of them. They should last a very long time on one battery.

The 5800Micra recessed transmitters were received within days of ordering. All transmitters appear to be working, in all 17 of them. It has only been a couple of days since they have been installed, but no problems yet. Programming with my security system that I had purchased was a breeze. Make sure you use a 3/4" Forstner drill bit per the instructions. When installing the magnet, I used silicone since my windows had an aluminum channel that prevented them from being able to use the peel and stick. The clear silicone seems to be working great.

We wanted our new wireless system to be as falsing-less as possible (nuisance to us and neighbors, police fee if they have to come for a FA). We consulted the Alarm Professor and the 5800micra was the best of his recommendations. Better battery life, stronger magnet, invisible when closed, better range, careful yet still simple DIY drill installation into wood frames, just read instructions. Less falsing! I've had no troubles with these. 5816/5's have had more troubles. Well worth the sl. extra money.
