Perfect. Comes already connected out of the box. I added two extra door/window sensors and was super easy to connect. Loud alarm. When you open the door (or activate sensors) there is a quick beep from alarm and then you have 20 secs to deactivate alarm. Overall im very happy with purchase

Good, loud and reassuringly works. Wish it came with 2 door trip detectors. Easy set up although takes time to set up the Learning of each detector. The tamper springs are good. Wish they provided more sticky back sponge because if you place the detectors on wrong position for magnets, they don’t stick twice.

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.

You can always buy cheap - but if you want something to work buy quality. Owned this for over a year and in that time it has worked reliably. Easy to fit Easy to set Great visual deterrent Loud. Quality brand, from my experience I have to say buy with confidence.

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.

We installed a Yale control panel-based alarm system in 2008 and it has served us well over the last 15 years. Granted, we ditched the PIRs fairly early on (too many false alarms), in favour of plentiful door and window contacts. Oh, and the dial-out function, in which an ominous ALARM! ALARM! message was sent to nominated telephone numbers, got unplugged pretty quickly...false alarms caused too much anxiety to loved ones! Recently, the control panel failed to connect reliably with the siren, and a couple of the door contacts were wearing out, so it was time to update. Instead of spending over £500 on a new high-tech system with the same coverage as the Yale, I bought this Yale HSA Essentials kit for under £100. It appears to be exactly the same as the 2008 one. Good old tried and tested tech. I kept the least-used contacts from the old system (the ones on seldom-opened windows), bought fresh batteries and 'learned them in' to the new kit without any problem. Hey presto, refreshed and updated system for fewer pennies!

Great product, easy to install
