Digital camera Review: Visonic Wireless Alarm system
Summary: 4 Stars
I've had the alarm system for a few weeks now and I have a few comments. The installation was relatively easy but the menu system takes a little getting used to. With the GSM module, I ran into the problem of 'RSSI Poor', so I could not get the SMS alerts to work. After some fruitless troubleshooting and moving the panel around the house trying to get a stronger signal, I decided to use a different SIM card and I eventually got that to provide the stronger signal I needed. Therefore I would recommend that you buy the optional GSM Antenna to boost the signal in the GSM module.
However one needs to be aware that partitioning is optional in this panel and unless you specifically ask for it, you will not get it. Partitioning allows you to set the alarm in one part of your property while leaving another part unarmed. This panel can support up to 4 partitions, if you have this optional feature. I was not aware that it was optional until I contacted Visonic, but there is no way I could have known by just ordering from Amazon. So my panel has no partitioning, well, except the single default partition. In my opinion, this is basic functionality and should have been included by default.
Another thing I found is that with the sensors, the magnet only works on one side of the transmitter (the side with the little red light). If the magnet is put on the other side, it is as if the door/window is open and the alarm cannot be armed. This is a bit awkward. If you have 2 windows side by side, you cannot share one transmitter with 2 magnetic contacts. Every window must have its own transmitter and magnetic contact. The transmitters have no holes to screw into the window/door. You must use an adhesive or double-sided tape.
Other than that, everything else works fine.
