Great product for the price.
By Anthony L. Bowers
A security company in my hometown recommended this product. They wanted $600 for the product, plus installation. I got this unit for close to a third of that, so I saved over $300. Knowing what I know now I would have done it again. I didn't get the keyfob in the original shipment, but after a phone call they shipped it out that day free of charge. The third party company I bought it from was great. They even helped me when I had questions setting up the unit.Installation took about 6 hours. About 2 hrs to go over the instructions and configure everything, 2 hrs to install the door units and motion detector, 2 hrs for the main unit. The configure time was a bit long due to figuring out the instructions. It comes with 4 instuction books, 2 of which are pretty thick. The unit can become very complicated, because it can be connected (wirelessly) to all kinds of devices. But, once you realize that you can skip most of the instructions it isn't too difficult to configure and install.We installed ours so that the main unit electricity wires went behind the walls, so that too a fair amount of time. Other than that everything is wireless. I didn't hook my unit to my phone line, but that can be done. Installing the doors units and motion detector was pretty straightforward. You can either install with screws or double sided tape, both of which are included.We've been using the unit for about 4 weeks now and it works great. I would recommend it for someone who wants to do the install yourself without running a lot of wires.

By The Prof.
The Honeywell Lynx Wireless Home Security System is a simple security tool that is easy to use. The instructions give you everything you need to know and when set up it works like any general security system. It may not be on par with the likes of Fortress GSM G5 Wireless Home Alarm System with iPhone/Android App & RFID TechnologyA, but this product from Honeywell should fit in your home for any looking for a simple security system

Had some trouble with ours.
By Jeff O.
I had an Ademco Lynx REN system that I installed myself more than seven years ago. Programming it was tough, but not impossible and in general, the system worked well for us. We had the talking version and the audio for that function stopped working about two years ago. No more audible warning beeps to disarm the system upon entering, etc. I recently upgraded our panel to the Lynx Touch, which still supports my 5800 series transmitters, but found the Lynx Touch SIGNIFICANTLY easier to set up, program and use than the controller featured here. I cannot recommend this unit given the audio failure. Buy a Lynx Touch instead.
