Smart Home Security Systems, Wireless alarm systems, Works with Alexa, Supports Mobile App Alerts, Includes 1 Base Station, 2 Door Alarms, 1 Motion Alarm, 1 Keypad, AS05

I compared several budget alarm systems to replace an ageing BT setup. What I wanted was straightforward: a simple keypad alongside smartphone control — and this system fits that brief well. Setup is fairly easy, and the base station doubles as both a Wi-Fi hub and the internal alarm sounder. It’s true there’s no external siren, but realistically most people pay little attention to outside alarms anyway. Yes, the base station could theoretically be unplugged by an intruder — but if I wanted something close to impenetrable, I’d be looking at systems costing £300 or more. This is about peace of mind. Asleep and alone, it’s ideal. Away from home, a quick glance at my phone tells me all I need to know. Best feature-scheduling the system to arm my doors at night. The system is well presented and clearly well thought out. That said, I did need to make risers for the door sensors, as uPVC doors aren’t always flush with their frames. Ring supplies risers as standard, and X-Sense could easily include them for pennies. A bright, visible window sticker would also have been a welcome addition. For the price, I’m very happy with it — it’s another sensible layer of home security. One week on I added a Leak Detector to the system..top notch!

A brilliantly simple security system. Perfect for a workshop, garage or flat. It took minutes to set up and has detected intrusion every time I have tested it. The door and motion sensors are reliable and I haven’t had any false alarms since I installed it 4 weeks ago. There’s no outside siren but the base station is quite loud and if you link it to a smoke alarm it sets that off too. It also sends notifications to your phone via the app. It came with a keypad for setting/unsetting but I use the app instead. The only thing it’s missing is a battery backup to keep it working if the power goes off. I have connected it via a USB power bank, leaving the powerbank charging all the time. That does the trick nicely.

Fantastic and small essential equipment for a flat and such a bargain for the price. All items came in one single box secured in its own plastic holder. The items came all supplied with a set of batteries and a power supply for the hub, all other items are mountable and are powered by batteries. The key pad is small and so easy to operate and use, it also comes with a panic button on the side of the pad. Once the key pad is set up and connected to your phone you can set the alarm without using the keypad. All mountable items can be secured with the 3m sticky pads or you can secure it with screws. The only concern is with the hub as it is powered by the house electrical power, when a power cut happens will the rest of the equipment work as there is no ability to install batteries ( this is the only reason I knocked a star off, if it had this facility it would defo be a 5/5)

This was so easy to set up and works great. Able to activate and deactivate the alarm from the app and rename the sensors in the app to which door has been opened etc. Very well thought out system and gives me peace of mind that my garage is secure. The motion detection is quick from been tripped to notifying your phone.

Good piece of kit.fairly easy to setup as i am not very good at this sort of thing.really good can be controlled by phone only just installed so can't say anything about reliability but certainly would recommend only minus no outside alarm box

Easy to set up, easy to test. Decent value for money, would recommend the base unit have a back up battery (even 30 mins) and or tamper alarm if unplugged- could be a future development. Main purchase reason was app communication and alerting phone remotely- all worked as expected during test. Kit feels robust and quality. Remote access all fine. Can’t comment on battery life yet as only installed today.

I bought 2 kits in order to secure my house and a selection of outbuildings. I am delighted with one caveate; the system lacks an external siren. It is quick and simple to install, intuitive to operate and the sensors have good range to cover a reasonable sized house. The value is excellent, I have too systems working off one easy to use app for a price less than the annual service fee of my old system and with no subscription fees for the app or notification service. I am looking forward now to adding sensors for a fire alarm system. I am happy to recommend the X-Sense system
