According to our alarm system expert
Secure your home and your possessions with the Smanos X500. The starter kit uses a SIM card and can be installed in every home. You can use the included NFC tags to unlock the system, which also allows the other users to see who unlocked the system. You can easily set up speed dial numbers on the base station, which can be useful if you want to inform everyone of a suspicious situation straight away. This set contains a base station, a motion detector, 2 window/door sensors, 2 remote controls, and 2 NFC tags. You can easily expand the set to include up to 50 sensors and 50 tags.

Very satisfied with the alarm, but before I go over to the review, I first want to start with a small warning that there may be a software error in the system that can be easily remedied by means of an update.
I came across this by accident and then contacted the service department of smanos and they indicated that this can occur with a certain production series.
What is the error in the system and how can you fix it!
You have 3 buttons on the control panel to switch on the alarm. 1- the top button that turns on all the sensors in your home 2- the middle button that turns on the alarm in home mode. "this means that, for example, you switch on all smoke detectors, door/window contacts when you get home, eg when you go to sleep but want to leave the motion detectors switched off 3- the bottom button to turn off the alarm "you can do this after entering your set pin code"
The moment the top button is activated and your house is fully secured and the alarm would go off, you could only switch it off with your PIN code or remote control...
BUT!!! If you press the middle button "home mode", the alarm including the siren will go off and the display will flash. THIS IS NOT ALLOWED! The siren should continue to sound until you use the PIN or remote control to turn off the alarm.
The solution/ Software update -First of all, you need to set the APN settings. For this you need to send the number 17 in an SMS to the SIM card in the system. You will then receive the message below. APN: Username: Password:
Copy this and enter the correct APN data (these can be found on the provider's website):
for instance: APN:live.vodafone.com Username: Password:
If the APN settings are set correctly, send the following word in a text message: x5ftpupdate
The screen shows 4 dashes on the LCD screen. This indicates that the system is updating. Once the time appears, the update should be successful.
If this does not work "in my case the above did not work" then you have to send the display to Smanos to have them perform the update, I had the display back within a few days.
Now the review.
It is a beautiful display that you can place in your house in 2 ways, you can hang it up or put it on your sideboard by means of an included foot.
What comes out of the box is plug and play, but if you want to add other accessories, you can easily do this according to the supplied manual of the accessories.
You can set your alarm in 2 ways, namely via the text message "this works best" or via an app that can be downloaded in the android playstore or in the apple app store,
Through this app you can add phone numbers that should be texted / called when an alarm goes off.
Personal is the easiest to do everything via SMS and the English manual is clearly described than the Dutch. Once set up, you don't have to worry about it anymore and you no longer have to send text messages.
You can activate/deactivate the alarm system via the control panel, remote control, RFID, telephone app, but also via SMS, which is easy if you do not have wifi/internet, eg on holiday.
The alarm is loud, I also have an extra alarm on the middle floor that is equipped with a flashing light and night light.
You can set the alarm in different ways. whether the alarm should go off immediately when a window/door contact is activated or whether you want a delay of the desired number of seconds to switch off the alarm via the control panel.
We only use it via the remote control that we activate/deactivate from outside so that the alarm goes off immediately at the moment of entry.
The telephone numbers that are set in the system are called immediately and also provided with SMS. This is a plus though.
You can name all detectors in your house, so that you can read in the SMS which sensor has been activated.
In short, after the update "if it is needed" it is a super system and a good purchase.
have fun with purchase.

It's really a basic system. During the setup everything has to be done via SMS. Even if you use the app, it is only to configure SMS messages. To set up our system, we needed about 30 text messages, which are answered by the panel with 30 text messages. So not ideal. I also use a prepaid SIM card which must be used once every six months to prevent expiration. Because of this I turned on SMS notification when using RFID tag. With this I wanted the cleaning lady who comes once every two weeks to ensure that the SIM card remains activated. After this I received a text message from every circuit. This function was not specifiable to a single user. Unfortunately, I couldn't turn this function off after this, it wasn't in my book and I couldn't do it via APP either. Contacted Smanos about this, and had to completely reset and reprogram the system. (again 60 text messages) It's a shame that such basic functions cannot simply be turned on and off. It is also not possible to bypass zones in the event of a fault. Unfortunately, it is also not possible to enter multiple switching codes for different users. Recently the system crashed, system did not work then either. Siren of panel itself is very mediocre. Bought the wireless variant here for upstairs. This gives a strong signal, but if you pull it out of the socket, the volume drops and it makes little impression. Also connected a wired siren to panel to get a decent signal. All in all, a nice system, but really very basic. If you have great expectations of the system, this may not be the ideal choice...

good, but manual and software should be better.
