Having bought this alarm for my own windows, slider and screen doors, I recommend it highly. It is a very simple system and inexpensive way to secure your home, alerting you to an attempt at intrusion with a loud alarm.
When installed, the magnetic field is broken when the window or door opened and the alert sounds out.
There is a simple on and off switch when you do not want the system active.
For hotter, humid climates such as Florida, I have found using heavy duty velcro a more reliable way to secure the alarm for the long run than the double sided foam provided.
Buy this if you're worrying about breakins! You'll sleep better.

5.0 out of 5 stars No one's getting in our window without us knowing, March 2, 2008

We bought this for the room at the far end of the house from our bedroom. I've long worried that if someone forced or broke that far window at night, we'd never hear it. With this alarm there's virtually no way someone will get in that window without the siren going off, and that should be enough to scare them away. If not, we'll be there with our dogs and baseball bat to welcome them.

This window alarm is very easy to set up. Because we live in hot FL and it's a south-facing window, I took the advice of some other reviewers and fixed the halves with velcro rather than using the included sticky foam. I also placed it at the bottom of the window rather than either side to make it even more difficult for an intruder to avoid tripping it.

This product, in theory is a wonderful idea. However, the double sided tape fails miserably to hold the two sides of the alarm to the window/door surface. Indoor house temperatures were normal, no severe cold, heat, or humidity. But upon returning home the first day, one alarm had fallen and rung to the point of a dead battery. Within the first week, all four had fallen and were ringing their alarms -some faintly by that time and others at close to full decibal level. Would hot glue or that super tacky stuff the infomercial pushes be the answer?!?
