Yale Premium Burglar Alarms HSA 6400

Have had this yale 6400 three years now had no false alarms.I like the many features on the control box I use 2 live sirens 7pirs 6 door contacts

2key pads smoke detector 1 panic button and put main control box in the lofti think this is as good as it gets ive puta yale 6400 in a freinds house two years ago he has an electricity sub station right across the road from him again no problems. Iv just bought another 6400 im putting one in for my daughter i no there is a new model outbut at the prices you can pick these up £170 to 180 i think these are a must.One last thing when

the siren is put up make sure you put some packing behind the back springon the wall this stops the siren going off on its own.

I had an alarm company called Tidy Solutions based in Surrey give me a free quote and advice, they deal with Yale alarms and are very competitive and informative, installed within 2 days of quote, hovered any mess and costs only £80 for a maintenance, why spend loads with ADT, strongly recommend anyone a Yale system, easy to use not too expensive to buy and have fitted :) +++++++++

I am extremely pleased with their service and would definitely be recommending it to my friends.

Would't it be good if the real bell box had 24hr flashing l.e.d lights? Iv seen Yale real bell boxes with l.e.d flashing lights for sale from £20+. But i fitted my own flashing l.e.d lights for £7.00.And now I'm fitting my mum's house with Yale

My alarm was fitted by a qualified engineer who fitted one for himself. It was OK at first but then I had problems deactivating it.The last time, a couple of days ago,I couldn't disalarm it.I entered the code but nothing worked after I entered the first 2 digits. Then it started going off. Nothing I could do would stop the terrible racket. Not long after it started my neighbours started to appear to find out what was happening. I must admit I panicked a bit.The wall mounted keypad showed all kinds of messages including a complete blank for a while but still it went on and on. Suddenly "Enter code" appeared and I rapidly entered the code and the alarm stopped. I haven't dared to activate since. No internet response from Yale. I telephoned but after 5 minutes on "hold" I gave up. This is not uncommon with

a number of companies, in fact some of them never answer and the call ends.

DON'T BUY IT.

After researching the market for an insurance approved alarm, we opted for the Yale Smart Alarm - obviously the brand speaks for itself and its grade 2 listed. We also needed a GSM based alarm and this is the yale yop of the range alarm. We purchased a complete package via MAP Security in Bristol I believe as recommneded by Yale. They did indeed offer a variety of brands but we stuck to Yale ........

The Smart alarm is a wireless alarm 868Mhz and Grade 2 listed which basically means its for professional installation only BUT as I'm quite technical, I decided to have a go...First things first the alarm is very sophisticated and offers multi home protection from one panel which is great as my neighbour and I spilit the cost which with all sensors was just shy of £600 - this included the external PIR to protect our driveway cars. My neighbour also is able to dial in and active heating using the wireless switch part.

So to install the alarm is quite challenging as the manual is written for installers however its clear enough so that a first timer can have a go. Reliability is superb, we have a sim card in ours and you can remote access. Build quality seems ok, no probs as of yet...

As for the distributor MAP Security, I was very impressed with their politeness and helpful approach shown on several phone calls - Honest and sincere direction was given from these guys and they really helped me decide exactly what i needed - Would I recommend?? The days of finding a company to spend 20 mins on the phone and know their product is becoming more and more rare..MAP are more old fashioned and offer this service complete and in full!

I have rung customer service 3 times now requesting what number will be displayed on my mobile phone if the alarm is activated. I have tested this and it is not my home phone number that is displayed. All 3 customer service staff have told me it IS my home phone number and when I have told them it is not and if they could please check for me then they hung up. They must not give comprehensive training to customer service and the current staff would rather lie and make up facts as opposed to investigating a problem.

Absolutely rediculous. I will never buy a yale alarm again and avoid buying their locks as much as possible.

I bought the Yale HSA6400 premium alarm about 2 years ago and fitted it with the missus one Saturday afternoon. The job took us a couple of hours, this included the 'walk test'(a simple way of confirming that all the sensors are functioning correctly). We've since added 2 extra PIRs and 1 additional door sensor for increased security. This alarm comes with an instructional DVD and a booklet for ease of installation. I've this weekend changed the batteries on the siren, again a relatively quick, simple process, (the longest part of this job for me, was setting the ladder up). I've read some of the reviews here and it seems that a few people have really struggled with setting up this system, but I really can't understand why. I mean, they even provide double sided sticky pads for the PIRS & sensors, so you don't even need to know how to use a drill. I suppose if you're a real novice to DIY, or don't feel confident working from a ladder then you may struggle and its probably worth calling in a pro.

Bought this system from Homebase along with an extra PIR and 2 extra door/window contacts. Setup and Instalation took 1 1/2 hours at most. System phones me or my partner when activated, all sensors are individually named, signal strong enough to work in garage and shed. Instructions are so so so simple to follow. Would highly recommend to anyone

I bought a Yale Standard Alarm. Instructions are vague and don't explain in detail what to do if this or that happens during setup. Took multiple attempts to set equipment up as keypad refused to be accepted by the siren, and when finally positioned the PIR's didn't register any movement for about a minute (During this time about two grands worth of tools could have been stolen from my workshop) and the door opening alarm failed to sound alarm even though test said that it was functioning ok. Helpline number? Joke. No number on instructions to call in the event of problems setting up. Finally tracked one down on internet and surprise! it's an 019 number. I spent about 25 quid hanging on for 20 minutes at a time and still not getting connected. (These people are making money out of your misery). This is supposed to be a reputable company. They can kiss my a#se. Alarm is going back to shop. I'll be removing the batteries and keeping as a small compensation.
