SABREWireless Home Security Door Window Burglar Alarm with LOUD 120 dB Siren, DIY EASY to Install

I debated on buying door alarms for too long. I had 2 boys... 2 under 2 is no joke hard work. Everything in our home was "babyproofed" EVERYTHING! We didnt do enough though... We stopped at the door alarms. Tragedy happened one day. I took the boys out to feed a bird... Out a door we never use. When we came in I failed to lock the top bolt like I ALWAYS do... ALWAYS. while I was tending to my older son, his younger brother slipped outside, I can only assume to chase the bird that was still hanging around when we came back in. I didnt hear him open the door... He was gone for about 5 minutes before I noticed that eerie "too quiet" lack of noise in the house. I found him almost immediately in the pond across the street from our house. I immediately began CPR and he came back to us for 28 hours but past away the next day. I am putting this in my review because door alarms would have saved his life. I debated about buying these too long. I thought... I am a giod mom and the doors are always locked where they cant reach them anyway so other than the chime annoying people, I dont need them... I am a good mom. I thought that there was no way one of the boys could "sneak out" without me noticing.... That happens to people that dont watch their kids as closely as me.... AND THE DOORS ARE ALWAYS LOCKED! I did everything I thought I needed to to keep them safe. Bathroom doors licked... My room locked... Outlets covered, cabinets and drawers locked, oven door and fridge doors locked... Everything anchored to the walls from furniture, tvs and appliances... We thought of everything... Except the doors. I even had a gate in the laundryroom doorway even though I knew they could knock it down... The reasoning was that I would hear it come down and be alerted to it... I stopped at door alarms and now my darling baby boy is gone at 19 months, 3 days and 38 minutes of life.Shortly afterwards I did order these alarms because I am no longer under the dillusion that these types of things happen to someone else and I still have another son to care for and keep safe.Please... If you dont order these, order a different set but get them. Even if there is no water near you, there are countless dangers outside. I am begging you if you are a parent... Please... Get door alarms as that extra layer of protection for your baby. I am begging you and praying you never go through the trauma of losing your baby... Knowing there was something you could have done to prevent it... Something so easily.Perhaps if I read such a review when I was debating about buying thembor not, I wouldnt have hesitated and my little Max would still be here. Yes they are loud and yes at times they are annoying but I will take that anyday over the alternative. Every time i open the door and hear that (incredibly loud) chime, I know it is for the best. I can hear it anywhere in the house. I wish I had gotten them sooner... I wish someone had mentioned them to me along with typical babyproofing gadgets.

Not worth the time to setup

These are definitely loud and will wake you if they set off. Just be mindful of placement with the sticky pads.

Installed these to keep dad with dementia from leaving without notice. The alarm is perfect and great that you can monitor battery life

This is plenty loud. It should scare the pants off a would-be intruder. Problem is it is so loud that I can see the chime annoying my neighbors every time my screen door is opened. I swear it's like Christmas bells ringing all through the complex. The screen door was just a bonus: the main reason I purchased these is so that I could feel comfortable sleeping with my bedroom window open. I live in an apartment that does not have central air. So sleeping with window open in 80+ degree desert weather is a MUST. I use this along with other security measures (make shift bars that I fashioned using 1/8 diameter steel rods). I have taped the smaller piece to my screen and placed the larger piece on my window ledge that way if the screen is removed the alarm will start to holler and awake me from sleep.The reason I don't give this product 5 stars is due to the following "Cons":1) Doesn't include a volume control option.There should be a way to control the volume. As I noted earlier the chime is so loud that I'm sure that I'll eventually receive a complaint from one or more of my neighbors. I have a couple of neighbors who are prone to persnicketiness.2) Doesn't meet the tamper proof test. The manufacturer should have included a way to hang these using brackets to make tampering with these much more difficult. Once the screen door alarm, both pieces can be accessed from outside my apartment, which makes the unit susceptible to theft, unfortunately. Anyone can remove both pieces and abscond.
