Yale IA-310 Sync Smart Home Alarm Piece of 4 Kit Includes Sync Alarm Hub, External Siren, PIR Motion Detector and Keypad Works with Alexa, Google Assistant and Philips Hue [Energy Class A+], White

This alarm system was incredibly easy to set up. Everything comes pre-paired, so all you have to do is pull out the plastic tabs that keep the batteries from draining during transit. You can stick the components up with the adhesive pads provided or use plugs and screws if you want something more permanent, I just used the sticky pads. The whole installation took me less than 30 minutes. Honestly, it took longer to get the ladder out than to screw in the outdoor siren! If your bundle includes a fob, it’s a brilliant little extra that makes arming and disarming the system so much easier, whether you’re coming home or heading downstairs in the morning. We’ve been dealing with a string of burglaries in the area, and they’ve been targeting back doors. Ours is very accessible, so I’ve configured the alarm to go off instantly with no delay if the door is opened. It gives me real peace of mind, and I sleep much better at night knowing it’s in place. I’ve turned off the motion sensors because I don’t want to have to disarm the alarm every time I walk into the living room or risk forgetting to rearm it during the night. For me, securing the doors is the priority, if someone tries to break in through a window, it would be noisy enough that the alarm wouldn’t even be necessary. At the end of the day, you can’t put a price on feeling comfortable in your own home, especially at night. Knowing you’ve got a good theft deterrent is priceless. Although, I’m not too concerned if someone does manage to break in. What matters to me is that I’d know about it right away so I can deal with them personally, rather than being asleep and unaware while my children are sleeping too. I can confidently recommend this to anyone. This is one of those items your gut tells you that you need, and you should always listen. Plus, the hub doubles as a siren, so it’s not just the outdoor one making noise. Together, they are incredibly loud, especially at night, when the sound would be insanely jarring, My kit also came with a dummy siren. Personally, I didn’t see the need for it, (AKA I didn't want to climb up the ladder again) so I gave it to my parents to use as a deterrent. Even though it doesn’t make any noise, its presence alone is likely enough to put off some thieves

The Yale Sync Smart Home Alarm system has two purposes. Firstly as a traditional "ring the bell" alarm and secondly as a smart alarm which notifies you on your phone and allows you to arm/disarm your alarm when you're out. As a traditional "Bells only" non smart alarm it is definitely worth 5/5. It was quick and easy to install, all the fittings were provided. I purchased additional sensors so I have installed 5 PIRs, 5 Door /Window contacts, the external siren and the keypad. All of these took under 2 hours to install (ignoring the external siren - it was raining, that was done separately the following day). The 'built in alarm' in the hub is 100db of loud and more than adequate alone, the second one is more of a deterrent than something that's required. I have successfully setup the part arm and full arm modes with ease. Being able to set multiple pins is a great idea, obviously however the more pins you have the easier it is to guess and your alarm is only as secure as your weakest pin. I have a pin for myself and then 2 family members have different pins so if they need to disarm it they can, but I will also know who has been in my house if they do. The only issue I have had is occasionally when using the App occasionally it says the 'hub is offline'. Which means I cannot get notifications or remotely arm/disarm the alarm. This is easily fixed by turning the alarm off and on again physically, just a pain. This is an issue with any smart device, whether it be blinds, bulbs, alexas, alarms or smart cars. Hopefully overtime this becomes less of an issue. This model is far superior than their old Yale Smart Home Alarm system and operates at a much better range and is more reliable. Ultimately it comes down to this: If you want a "Bells Only" alarm this is great, if you want an "alarm with notifications" this is good but not bulletproof. If you want the most reliable service possible you'll need to buy an ADT alarm with subscription and even then there is a slight risk of it going 'bells only'. For context, my setup throught ADT would have been £800 installed and then £40 a month £930 more in the first year and then £480 a year more forever... So I'd definitely recommend this unless you're a Jewellery store or bank. 4/5 would definitely recommend for most people. Would be 5/5 if the hub never disconnected, however overtime the server technology should improve this, I'd say my hub uptime is around 95% from what has been monitored so far.

I had an older version of this alarm (about 10 years old) and it has worked perfectly well, but I wanted an internet connected system, and also one with a longer range so I could include my shed which is at the bottom of my garden. This alarm works well and easily reaches my shed, as well as allowing me to use it via the internet on my android phone app. A major bonus is being Alexa compatible, as we now always set and disarm the alarm using Alexa - much easier than typing in a PIN number. I'd recommend a look on YouTube as there are some excellent videos about setting up Alexa to work with this Yale Alarm. I also found a great tip on YouTube to run a cable from the siren through the wall into a battery holder mounted inside the house. It can be a bit of a pain to drill the holes etc., but you have to drill holes to mount the siren anyway, so you're already up the ladder. This means no having to climb a ladder in future years to change the batteries, just change them from inside the house - thanks YouTube :-) Setting up the sensors is very easy and made easier that you can have you phone with you when you mount them, so even easier. Now, the minor downsides I have come across: The app can only control one alarm system, and I have a second system in my holiday home, so I have had to set up the app on a tablet. Not a big deal but minor inconvenience. No easy, or official way to wall mount the control hub. I'd have liked to put it where the old control panel was, but it just has to sit on a horizontal shelf. Both the keypad and key fob would be much better if the alarm/part-arm & disarm buttons were coloured for ease of use in limited light. Not much of an issue as we always use Alexa anyway, but still.... Only the contact sensors are "devices" in Alexa, not the PIR sensors, so you can get Alexa to "Front Door open" but not movement it a room. Overall the good points far outweigh the minor issues listed above, and I am convinced enough to upgrade my holiday home alarm system to this type. Highly Recommended.

I highly recommend this product because with little to no expertise required, it works straight out of the box. Set up is easy and simple thanks to the how-to install video on YouTube and the super handy question-mark help area in the app. The ability to control my alarm from my smartphone (remotely arm/disarm is my favourite feature!) was the primary reason I wanted to buy a smart alarm and being world renowned for security, Yale fit the bill. Sync is their latest offering and I'm thrilled to have secured my house with a top notch system - without drilling through walls and redecorating! Despite the negative reviews on here (issues experienced probably due to factors that are not related to the product, such as wifi connection) Sync is an excellent option for a family home with the multiple methods of arming and disarming, there's a physical keypad and key fob (optional accessory) as well as the app to offer secure access regardless of your internet connection. Along with the added integrations with Alexa and Philips Hue to upgrade my home in the 'smart' stakes, it's an exciting piece of kit.

We purchased the Yale IA-320 Alarm with the additional 3 pack Motion Detector Kit AC-3PIR and the HD1080 WiFi Indoor Camera SV-DFFI-W as our previous alarm system had packed up after 15 years. On unpacking I found all the components to be of very good sturdy quality and aesthetically pleasing to blend in with our decor. I personally found the set up procedure was pain free and I didn't encounter any issues with registering any components to the base station and like wise with the physical installation of all components if you are competent with a drill you'll have no issues just ensure you choose the correct fixing for your application, honestly there is nothing technically demanding about it. The operation of the Alarm is simple and pleasing and depending on your home tech you'll have a number of ways to arm/disarm the system. We use the application on the iPhone and Apple Watch, Alexa or the physical Keypad and all work perfectly but what I do like is the geofencing feature where if you leave the house without arming the system it will send you a message to warn you and gives you the option to set it also you can log into the phone app and monitor your system from there. We added the indoor camera for addition protection plus it gives you the option to open the camera viewer should you have an alarm trigger whilst you are away from home then you can check if someone is in your property or if it's a false alarm, luckily we've not had to use that feature! You can configure the system so that each different components activated or deactivated depending on how you set the alarm for instance when we put the system in part arm only the motion detectors and door contacts on the ground floor are activated allowing us to move freely upstairs without the alarm activating and then when we leave the house and put it into full arm all motion detectors and door contacts are active across both floors giving full protection, further to that you can set up the system to give audible bleeps from the external siren so once you are outside it gives confirmation that the alarm is set. We did have an issue with the door contact so I contacted CS and the very next day we had the replacement in hand so kudos to the team for that quick response. I have looked into the battery replacement when that becomes required and it is a very easy procedure and all batteries are readily available from local supermarkets and DIY stores so the downtime on the system can be kept to a minimum in-fact the system sends you a notification that batteries are running low so you can pre plan and get them in ready for changing. All in all we are very pleased with every aspect of the alarm system thus far and if the complimentary service I've had with CS to date is anything to go by I don't see any issues going forward. We are just waiting for the Smoke/Heat detector AC-PSD to come into stock then we can complete our system

This was my first alarm, and I found it very easy to setup. Bought as a lightning deal for £234 it was good value. I bought an additional sync module to add to my Yale Conexis L1 lock and an additional door sensor for the patio door, so for less than £300 I now have a connected alarm that can check the lock status of my front door and will also automatically disarm when I use the fob to unlock my front door. I highly recommend this combined with the conexis lock, you can arm the alarm by a simple keypress on the pad when leaving or via the phone after leaving, and you don't have to do anything other than presenting the fob to unlock your front door to disarm. Based on previous reviews software pre v2.0.0 was apparently quite bad, it appears to work fine now. A few minor annoyances (does it really need to check the firmware every single time the app cold starts adding 5 sec or so to startup time?) but no deal breakers for me. The apple watch app was promised by mid october and is still not out, i'm sure it will eventually but not a deal breaker for me. The only thing that I wish I could change is have only the internal siren do the countdown for entry/exit. You can currently only configure this to no sound, low, mid or high, but it applies to both internal and external, so unless you disable it entirely you WILL annoy the neighbours every time you arm the alarm. It should be fixable in software, I see no reason why the external alarm should beep for the countdown to exit/disarm the alarm. UPDATE: Dropping from 5 to 1 stars since it failed after 17 months and support still hasn’t responded after a week. Out of the blue the hub started beeping, and the app reported it was off line. Restarted hub and router as per instructions and it worked for a few hours and then started beeping again. One more restart later and it worked for less than half an hour before failing one last time. Couldn’t get it to connect again. Can confirm network works as I can actually ping its IP, however I get the green network light blink briefly followed by a double beep every 4-5 seconds. I’ve sent email to support via app and haven’t heard back for a week, so not impressed.

I have searched intensively for a smart alert system. My goal was for a system that has (1) Resnobile price, (2) High quality, (3) Easy to manage by mobile. I have decided these three criteria because (1) I do not want to wast a lot of money for a small house and only two persons live on it. (2) I do not wast my time with a rubbish system and lose time, which is money. (3) I am new in the UK, and I do not know anyone who could turn the system off if I am away. I do not want to bother my Neighbors. I came through this system in Amazon many times. What put me off not to buy it is negative reviews and 3.5 Stars. I kept searching and searching until I needed a system for critical security concern. I bought this system one week ago ( I will return to update this review after six months ) and here are my comments : Pors (1) Reasonable Price compared to its features and quality. (2) Easy to install for someone familiar with technology in General ( Total time of Installation & Testing & learning features was 6 hours) (3) Endless of amazing settings makes you have 100% control over the system (4) You can control the system from a keypad or your mobile. You can control this system from anywhere! Do not worry if you forgot to arm your home. (5) Very Expandable, you can add devices as much as you need ( up to 40 ), which I found it give you the ability to design your system based on your need and cost. (6) Multiuser setting. For Example, I can give the estate agent a separate password, and I can know if they ( for any reasons ) entered my home. (7) Full ability to control notification by many methods, Email, SMS, or Push to your mobile. (8) A lot of people comment negatively on Yale mobile application. I found it AMAZING, but you need an average mobile. (9) Very high-quality material that you can feel it in every part of the system, Even the security stickers! (10) As this system give you instant alert on your mobile, buying security camera which can be accessed by mobile will give you full control of your home. (11) There is no subscription fees for their mobile application and online services. Coins (1) The person who is not familiar with technology will find this system complicated ! not because it complicated but because of its endless features. (2) The guide (which is printed in high-quality material ) is not comprehensive. They have tried to make it simple; they do not explain all features of their mobile application in their simple guide. Bottom Line: I would recommend it for any person who needs full control of a security system. Update after 5 months : I could not say more than THANKS YALE! This system worth every penny spent.

Worked great.
