Brilliant system, it works straight out of the box . No problems with connectivity or teaching new devices and the app is really well laid out. I can’t find any faults with it after a month of use.
A simple alarm and camera system.
Easy to use app to control it.
Nice and loud external siren.
The door camera is a bit slow to react sometimes especially at night, but the camera and light are of good quality.
Be aware both cameras require a nearby 230v power supply.
Product was easy to fit and set up and worked immediately. Download the App which is very useful and also means you can set or unset the alarm if you are out and about.
First issue, though was that the App only works for Android 11 and later. Of course my phone was Android 9 and despite trying to update it, I ended up having to get a new phone from Argos. Also the bumf it comes with is a bit out of date (Amazon have probably had the stuff lying around for a bit) and needed a different App to the one in the instructions.
Next issue was that the keypad seems to be defective. It doesn’t arm the alarm properly and I cannot use it to disarm it, despite doing a couple of resets. So I think a new one will be on its way soon.
The Yale helpline people are excellent – there are clearly a lot of hidden features in the system that users will need to be guided through but that’s what they’re there for.
Just hope there are no false activations…
Quie good though the sensor downstairs not always works . If I do its test it works again for some time but sometimes loses its connection with the hub which is quite close
Overall I am happy with this fob. Our keypad is by the front door so this enables me to easily set the alarm when leaving the house via the back door to walk the dog. It is also light although a touch more bulky than I anticipated, just about comfortable for going in a pocket but you certainly want it to be any bigger. As others have commented, the button design is not ideal. It isn’t that easy to see the markings and the arm button is raised and fairly sensitive. In the first couple of days I managed to start arming the alarm just by sitting down with it in my pocket or when grabbing my keys from the table. You can overcome this by using the lock button which I now leave on as a matter of course but that does make the whole process slightly more fiddly. It came in the locked position so remember to unlock it before trying to pair with your hub (Yale instructions are pretty useless).
I have installed CCTV all around the house and the garden , why I need yale as the perimeter alarm system ? They point is , there is case when you are not available to the cctv notification. , so a perimeter alarm is needed to trigger the outside siren automatically if burglar is detected .
This new outdoor PIR arrived , I think the key feature is the double knock feature , I install 2 of them in my rear garden yesterday , still monitoring if it has false alarm or not .
They are linked to the hub and the app , I will on the ARM mode when I am not in home , so , if any burglar in the garage will trigger the alarm and the siren before they try to break the windows or door into the house . Work together with the house police linkage alarm system with vibration sensors and PIR sensors . I hope it can give a peace of mind to me .
With all the doors upgraded to 3 star cylinder lock , with 3M protective film installed on all windows and glasses . I do hope the perimeter alarm is working and functioning , so as to buy time for police to come if the burglar arrived .
p.s I am thinking to add one more Yale siren to the Yale system , to strength the siren .
Once installed and set up it’s easy to use and (so far) reliable.
Installation is not as easy as you might imagine. The instructions are mainly annoying cartoons with very few words – probably to avoid translation into different languages.
The accessories all have anti-tamper devices which make installation a bit worrying as they tend to trigger error messages; and although this isn’t a problem, a few words of explanation in the instructions would avoid the anxiety this creates.
The siren is supplied with screws and rawl-plugs, but the holes for the case a so long it’s difficult to accurately locate the positions for the screws. So if you’re working high up on a ladder, holding a heavy siren which you don’t want to drop, you can easily mis-locate a screw position and end up with a problem. If only Yale supplied a simple printed template in the package for the screw positions, this issue could be easily avoided.
The door switch is OK, but clearly designed mainly for doors that fit flush into the frame. Annoyingly they’re not well suited to UPVC doors.
The app is a bit mickey-mouse, but it works.
I tried phoning the support desk a couple of times – but nobody could be bothered to pick up the phone.
After all that, I did manage to fit the system and get it working. The error messages have disappeared and I feel a bit more confident about using it now.
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.
Replaced my old wired alarm kit with the Yale Wireless Alarm Kit. Brilliant, works great and so far reliable. You know the status of your alarm and home at all times
Gd system. Buy the instructions need to be more complete. A few niggles. Would not buy the keyfob. Keeps activating alarm as entering.
No subscription. Unlike others
Used this high on my gable end to protect my workshop.
Such a piece of mind, as I drive away from the house I can set the alarm easily with the app.
Unset easy in the morning with your mobile phone.
This alarm is great , thank you Yale
all worked as it should and the app seems ok even though it doesn’t get a great rating on the apple app store.
Would recommend.
Additionally, I did buy extra items and these were easy to add to it.
Bit fiddly to install the alarm box and had to call the helpline to reset the control box. The user manual could include sections on troubleshooting and how to remove items and reinstall them. Like the range so it’s great for outbuildings too. Range of extra items to add but not sure what suits my system

That aside, the alarm is great. I love the convenience of being able to isolate specific sensors whilst leaving everything else fully armed. And being able to expand on the number of sensors up to 40 is so reassuring when it comes to securing a property.
All in all, I’ve found this to be a great all round product. And not having to pay a subscription is a huge plus. The email notifications are basic, but I’m informed immediately if sensors are triggered or when the system is armed and disarmed. If you combine a system like this with some security cameras then you get the added bonus of looking to see if a sensor triggered accidentally (well done kids for forgetting to disarm the door) or if it’s something more malicious.
Yes I would recommend this product. I can’t comment on Tech Support as I’ve had no reason to deal with them. Yes, I’ve read the comments, but I won’t be judgemental simply on hearsay (but fingers crossed)
As I have an old, large house I went for the 14 item system with an extra key fob and pet motion detector – not cheap, but Black Friday came to the rescue. Fitting was straightforward but here come the “buts” which prevented me from giving 5 stars overall. Firstly, the instructions rely mostly upon pictures which are not always clear; that said, where there was some small print it advised that the pet motion detector should not be used if your pets climb on furniture – try telling that to a couple of cats. Secondly, nowhere did it say that the key fobs have a tiny locking switch. I thought that I had 2 duff fobs until I looked at them closely under a strong light and then bingo. On a similar note, nowhere did it inform you the motion detectors sleep for 2 minutes after you have activated the system which could lead you to think that there could be a problem, that is until you search the clunky help site. Lastly, the blurb makes much of the fact that the system requires no wiring because it relies on batteries; that’s good you think – until you open the camera and discover it needs a mains feed. Oh well, I’ll position it in accordance with Plan B.
Now, please don’t get me wrong; Yale have produced a very good system which is let down slightly by the quality and extent of the instructions/information which unfortunately, prevents it from being excellent.
Hopefully it will deter burglary but time will tell.

Great alarm system better than I expected Yale are very good value for money. Use this over WiFi through our mobile phones to set and disarm can do anything through the Yale app with ease

This is an easy to install system, hardest part is putting the alarm box on the outside wall but easy for any competent diyer who can climb a ladder. Love the app and ability to set unset and test everything from your phone. Not enough sensors supplied which means having to buy more which aren’t cheap. So far so good and no complaints, system appears to be working fine.

When we moved I decided to analyse and see what are available in the market.
At the outset the monthly paid alarm systems are expensive in long run, cheaper Chinese products does not tend have good support/instructions and Yale stood out for me with the smart system what they offer and a long standing brand.
It does exactly what the monthly paid command center based alarm systems do – send you notification when there is movement in house (when armed), allows partial arming, device outside showing protected house and all this at one time low cost.
Installation super easy, no wires to run, clean instructions and tech support. Only difficult part is installing the siren box outside as I had to go high up the ladder on a windy day. Yale also offer installation support (engineers to come and install) at an extra support price.
I have tested the app several times now and really smart, you can arm, partial arm and disarm from a distance through your phone too (plus you can do the same with traditional keypad when you leave and enter) . There is lot of configurations you can play with. (don’t worry most of it comes with a default value) .
The motion sensors works perfect and really appreciate the walk tests I can do with my phone app.
Feel good that I decided for Yale after comparing with others. Not disappointed at all ..
Well done YALE.. !!
Is second alarm we got from yale (both this one). My husband research few months before we ordered and the conclusion was, this is the best one.
Is easy to use, you can get a key. So you don’t need to use app all the time. Highly recommend!

Once we’d got past the several pieces of information not included in the manual, installation was reasonably straightforward.
A major drawback is that the Sync.Smart range does not include o motion detector camera. Yale has several ranges of alarm, all, unhelpfully, incompatible with each other. Other ranges do include a PIR camera – but not this one.
I can’t believe how easy this is to set up. Absolute breeze, whole house protected within 60 mins. Superb
Simply the best wireless alarm system on the market. Bought 3 now for myself and family. Remote access and notifications are perfect.

Excellent user friendly app, the reminder once driving away from home is great and means I activate the alarm every time I’m out. Easy set up and install. Did have to call customer service about one of the sensors but they weren’t very helpful and I worked it out myself.

Bought to upgrade from a 20 year old alarm that had served me well but spares were no longer available.
Pros;
Good modular easy to use wireless system and in the kit form supplied all the components are already synchronised
Relatively easy to install and set up but instructions supplied are not very clear
The app seems to work well as of May 21 making arm / part arm and disarm by phone a very simple task
A walk test to confirm sensors work ok can be done via the app
Bell box timing (how long it sounds) and comfort LED control can be set within the app
Users can all have different / personal codes
This alarm is very loud – both the bellbox and the internal siren
Integrates well with the Hue lighting system, lights can flash when an alarm is triggered looks like DEFCON 1 has arrived 🙂
Cons;
The door contacts are poorly designed – totally ridiculous shape making them difficult to fit to a recessed door or window.
The keypad buttons are not very tactile ie you need to press them with some force to register but i have the keypad(s) only for backup anyway
The external bellbox uses D batteries so these will need to be changed regularly making a long ladder an essential accessory with this alarm
The screws supplied in the fitting kit are generally of poor quality and in my view those supplied for the bellbox were to short for such a heavy item.
Summary;
So some limitations but overall a good system for the average chap or chapess to install and use.
Improvements can be made to the design, the contacts are an obvious item to improve.
In regard to the bellbox why don’t they offer a mains powered bell box option using a transformer and fly lead with 3 pin plug so the internal battery only becomes a backup ? this has to be possible and would make the system a lot easier to maintain.
I added two additional PIR’s and a second keypad to the system – very easy and quick to do.
Dont know yet how long the batteries will last, would like to see some indication of life left in the app which could be another improvement.
All things considered – recommended.

I wasn’t sure what to expect having read some reviews on here but I was very pleasantly surprised as installation was very easy and took around an hour start to finish.
Set up is easy and the range of the sensors very good with my detached garage easily picked up. The app works well enough with push notices that you can set up to send all events or just alarms, to email and sms. You have the option to have the internal sounder count down exit and entry or both the inside and external siren with adjustable timings. Full and part set is easy to setup through the app.
All in all I’m very happy so far and will be adding more sensors in the coming weeks.
I love my geeky WiFi alarm system. It was so easy to connect, and would’ve been easier had I done it all at the same time and not decided to check the sensors out first.
Do it in the order in the book and you won’t go wrong. Email alerts are sent when an event is triggered and it gives the ability to partially alarm the property (with a reduced set of sensors) and this can be done with Alexa, too. Expandable with cameras and additional.motion sensors which I’ve already done. Excellent.
Great little product. Had everything needed to install. The only hard part was going up the ladders. Fob is definately something i would recommend.

Very good alarm very easy to install and set up control on phone app all in the kit pre linked to hub but also very easy to add extra sensors etc yourself just make sure they are compatible with your range alarm
