Great bit of kit, the alarm has a good loud pitch , the various sensors are easy to install & it is a great price.

As there is no wiring involved, the installation is straightforward. Yale designed the alarm system with all the main electronics located in the external siren, rather than in an internal control box. This arrangement does have a disadvantage in that the siren needs to be accessed not only to change its batteries, but also if extra detectors are added post-installation, or if there's a malfunction of any sort. Another downside is that the siren beeps when it's armed or disarmed, telling potential intruders when the property is vulnerable.

I've had mine 2 year now absolutely brilliant hasn't missed a beat no false alarms never had any problems with the kit at all. And the batteries are still going strong have not had to change them yet even in the FOB. I've left it a while before reviewing so I could give a 100% honest review I would highly recommend brilliant deterrent

I needed a very simple alarm system for my cabin. This looked to fit the bill and has given me some comfort knowing it is quite loud when activated. Another reviewer said read the manual, seems silly but actually sensible. It's plain English (and clear) and there are some good things to know before you start.There are two PIR sensors, but one of the them is a pet sensor. You only know by reading the model number. I didn't see this until I had put up the pet sensor, so needed to change that. It's fairly straightforward to add and remove the gadgets. I also purchased the keyfob suggested as a package but this was not compatible with the alarm - excellent. I used the Yale technical contact form and they were brilliant. Told me what model I needed and therefore sent back to Amazon and bought the correct one. So, its a good inexpensive system. Easy to install, very easy in fact. It's loud so although someone might get in they hopefully wont stay for long. Don't trust the amazon suggestions they are wrong! If you are looking for extra gadgets for the system looks for ones that are compatible with the HSA models.

Installed after an attempted burglary and looks a good quality system, took a while to get installation correct but it should give me the protection I need,

Great value, simple to install and works well, although previous one started false alarming after a few years (but for the price, not worth repairing). Current Amazon description on the new Yale system is misleading, as it claims 6 x AAA batteries are required (included), whereas the main unit runs off much larger 'D-type' (formerly U2) batteries (included). I nearly ordered incorrect AAA lithium cells to perform better in cold temperatures. Other accessories are run off button batteries (also included). BIG ISSUE is that Amazon offered the (compatible?) Key Fob at point of sale, which I selected as part of same order. After spending over an hour during installation and failing to configure the key fo, then on phone to Yale Tech Support, it seems AMAZON IS SHIPPING WRONG KEY FOBS. They look identical, but for this system, it requires HSA6060 (not EF or SR systems) Key Fob. The Yale Tech Support guy seamed fed up with all the calls received recently. Frustrating & waste of time for me too ! ... hence 3-star review.
