 Worked Well November 25, 2008
Not too expensive yet lets me know everytime one of my kids try to open the doors. Plenty loud, I call here it when I'm in the basement. Simple to setup as well.
 You will get what you pay for November 17, 2008
Well, it's true you get what you pay for I guess. I will say that I am impressed with how loud the door units are but thats about the only positive comment I can come up with, and thats being generous.
The window units are cheesy. It's disappointing there is no way of permanently mounting the window units. Comes with 2 sided tape (pretty lame). Although, it's probably a good thing since the window units are more like toys than anything. If a thief did manage to hear the window unit alarm going off he might laugh so hard that he falls back out the window. So you can always bank on that happening anyways.
The door units do not fit securely into the mounting bracket when placed on the door. There is a flaw in the bracket design that allows to much play where the alarm unit merges with the mounting bracket. It rattles around like the cheap junk that it is.
There should be an indicator LED letting you know if the alarm is actually armed or not for the door units. The only way to tell if it is armed is by entering in your pass code and then seeing if it beeps once for (armed) or twice for (disarmed). Otherwise there is no way to tell if it's actually armed.
The keypad on the door units if very annoying. When you press the buttons to arm or disarm the alarm they make an piercing loud beep. So loud in fact that I have to cover the alarm speaker area with my left hand while I arm it with my right hand or it will wake my wife at the other end of the house.
You get what you pay for.
Recommended & Worth the Price November 4, 2008
This isn't the best alarm system but it is inexpensive, easy to set up and really noisy. I would say that it would scare away an amateur thief and gives me some peace of mind when I'm away..
Good deterrant August 24, 2008

I use the GE alarm system as a deterrant for any intruders. It surely does not have any fancy security features, but the loud noise will surely drive anyone trying to break in away! The alarms for the windwos however, could not be placed on my specific sliding doors and windows. Overall, this basic system serves its purpose of maiking a loud annoying noise to drive people away.
Simple, cheap, and handy security system July 28, 2008

I bought a GE SmartHome Wireless Alarm System Kit #51107. I already have a professional security system. This was an addition for the windows especially for nights. This system is very easy to install and dependable (at least so far ~ 1 month). The sound is large and sharp enough that one would hear in sleep and can be heard in other rooms (would vary depending upon the house). Would surely recommend this product. The delivery was quick and the product was securely packed.
