Pros and cons

According to our alarm system expert

Thanks to the integrated microphone, you'll always hear what's happening in your home, no matter where you are.
The alarm system works with a SIM card, so you won't need Internet.
When the alarm system goes off, you'll receive a call on your (mobile) phone or an SMS message.
There always has to be enough call credit on the SIM card to receive an SMS message.
The app works with a SIM card (that isn't included), so installing your alarm system requires call credit.

Description

With the Eminent EM8610 wireless alarm system, securing your home or office is made easy. The system works with a SIM card that you slot into the control panel. Thanks to the SIM card, you won't need a network connection or landline. You can configure the system and control it remotely with an app for your smartphone/tablet. When the alarm goes off, you'll receive an SMS message or phone call from the SIM card in the control panel, after which you can switch off the integrated siren (in the main panel) by sending an SMS message or making a phone call. The control panel features backup batteries, so the system will continue to work in case of a power failure. The motion detector, the window/door contact, and the control panel are battery powered and can be positioned wherever you want. You can easily expand the set to include up to 50 wireless sensors.

Aftermath

ease
GSM system
price
instruction manual

pluses:

Easy system in terms of operation, and basically everything I expect from an alarm system (especially for the price of all accessories it is very affordable). Hanging up and commissioning is quick, and so is registering the accessories. Careful consideration should be given to the use of the 'home' and 'whole' buttons.

I can't say anything about the battery life, but I hope I don't have to do this often. Certainly the demotage of the door contacts doesn't seem useful to me, but I can't tell you anything about it yet.

Very easy assembly

minus(s):

A quick start card should be included with eg all GSM codes, registration of detectors and remote controls. The operation is really simple and is much too elaborate. Also e.g. immediately all the info that a motion detector stops detecting for three minutes if too much movement is measured in 10 seconds.

You cannot see whether a door is open or closed when it is switched on, but that is also possible with this system without fixed cabling.

The power adapter can have a smaller or straight plug. The hole you have to drill is now a bit on the large side.

by default the siren is 'waiting for 0 sec. This is better to 15 sec. With a first installation without a mobile phone, this saves a lot of noise.

Recommended alarm system

GSM system
remote receiving accessories
no emergency room
no network connection

I installed this system with mainly window/door contacts (motion sensors are always a problem if you have pets).

Setup went pretty smoothly. Still, I recommend using a GSM subscription or prepaid with free SMS, because after the first settings (and a lot of playing with settings and tests) you can easily get 100 SMS messages. After this, the system is more economical with text messages. Setting can also be done from any mobile phone, but it is just a bit more convenient with the app.

The two parts of the window/door contacts are the same height, which seems strange when mounting (with most PVC windows one of the parts is a lot higher), but it still appears to work because this contact only activates when the distance + 1cm.

An additional advantage of this system is that you do not have to spend money for an emergency room. You do the settings and management yourself.

Well, should I keep it or return it?

GSM therefore reliable (if your burglar pulls out WiFi, your WiFi alarm is of no use)
nice design
Easy to configure via the app (which works on the basis of SMS messages)
Range is unfortunately poor, my balcony door and living room sensors are out of range of the base station which is hanging at the entrance, and I live in a (spacious) ground floor apartment

I have 3 sensors, however I can only use 1 because the other two are just outside the range of the base station, a meter closer they do. I live in a ground floor apartment.
