I want to put one on my bedroom window that is a slider. If someone tries to lift the window will that set off the alarm?

mine does not go off with slight movements .. only when i punch the glass lightly .. keep in mind if it does go off it is very loud and there is an on/off switch on the unit that will turn it off.

I can't be completely sure, but I'm leaning towards yes--it would set the alarm off. This hasn't happened to me, but I've seen where other people have said that a strong wind has set theirs off. So I believe it would work for you.

If the window vibrates it goes off, so I'd say yes. We have ours on a sliding door.

Not necessarily. They are designed to pick up vibrations such as would occur when someone bangs on the frame or glass or if the window pane is broken. You would be better served if in addition to this type of alarm you installed the type that is specifically designed to activate when window is opened. Amazon sells those also. Again I would recommend using both.

In some places I just use one sensor/magnet combo in vent position...allowing window to remain open a few inches. If window is fully closed, alarm will sound if window is pushed up such that the sensor and magnet pass each other. Alternately, you can use two magnets for instant alarming in either position.

On most of these alarms if there is a slider switch moving it to the middle will turn it off.

I dont have a door/window alarm, but I dont see why you have to buy a separate receiver. You have up to four zones, so you would just set up the door or window detector to anyone of those you have open.

Only if she opens a door or window. Example: The base unit is attached to the door "frame" and the little unit is attached on the door right next to the base unit. You arm the base unit at night, and when the door is opened the alarm will go off! The same procedure applies with a window.

I believe that there is a "cut off" that will put the unit to sleep for a period of time (determined by YOU) after 3 or 4 wrong codes entered. There is a Z-Wave capability that may be able to send a text to the homeowner if the wrong code is entered too many times, but I don't believe it would actually cause a burglar alarm to sound. I hope this helps.

hello, the system has sensors, that you install where you need them, when you activate the alarm, if anyone tries to enter thru your door or window, the siren goes off , and it is loud enough to scare anyone off, not to mention alert your other neighbors, you can set it up to call your cell phone, or the local police dept, just make sure that you ok it with your police dept, every city has different rules. good luck

Why doesn't this have settings? I would like a LOUD alarm when I unintentionally left the door ajar. Last night, someone left the door open and the upper shelf was hot in the morning because the light was on all night. Having it on a tilt won't matter if there is something blocking it from closing. I would hate for my door to be intentionally ajar - putting in groceries, cleaning frig - and have a continual chiming. Others might like this if they want to know when people are raiding the frig, lol. Anyway, these things need settings.

It's run off of a frequency. For example, our garage door won't open or close whenever we have it on. I don't see why you couldn't buy an extra door alarm and have it attach to the same monitor in your room, but I don't know that they sell it like that. Good luck.

The alarm will turn off when you shut the window or when both units come close together.

My aide is in an upstairs bedroom, and when I press the button downstairs, I can hear the alarm upstairs (provided the doors are open). I assume that would make it loud enough for the person near it.

If they bump the door, or something I'd think it'd go off...however, I can open my window w/o it going off...as long as while opening it I don't slam it to the top, or close it. In my opinion, I'd look for something else to use on a sliding glass door.

Yes. Sometimes the vibrations from closing another door or dropping something set off the alarm

No. It has a pin that when pulled will trigger the alarm. Otherwise than that the alarm will not go off.

Yes it will go off when you open the window it's really not that loud tho as most of them aren't either

Absolutely! Great question. This alarm would work well with a double or single hung window. You will not be able to create a zone, but you could have a fixed vent position. Line up the alarm at a chosen vent position, adhere it, but leave it switched to the off position. The window could then be closed and locked or opened without setting off the alarm. Then when you only want to vent the window, simply line up the two parts of the alarm and switch it to the alarm position.

Yes, If it is pulled away from the magnet the (very loud) alarm will sound.
