Does not work reliably and so provides a false sense of security

I let myself from the many negative reviews not detailed anschrecken and bought the alarm Olympia Protect. That was, I admit it frankly, not my best idea, because my copy of the alarm system is useless.

Will I evaluate the device, so the first impression is surprisingly good: The basic unit is an excellent workmanship, integrated in a small space all important and has numerous logical settings. The device can be applied to all the households configure imaginable scenarios and it is really a lot of great accessories available so I can configure with the smoke and water detectors this facility not only for Eindringschutz- but also home security purposes. External alarm unit, glass break detectors, external GSM antenna remain virtually nothing to be desired. Who needs multiple remotes, can this really low prices in the two-party set (push yourself healthy with the prices Accessories other manufacturers, are at the Olympics very fair prices called).

The selection unit performs its service reliability, remote access capabilities via phone allow all major operations and it is communicated, which detector has struck. All great so far.

The commissioning is simple. It is not child's play, but who had mid-90s a cell phone, can be found with the logic of the system and the menu keys quickly cope. If not, there is one for the product price surprisingly good printed documentation that describes not only the establishment but also operation of the installation at least reasonably well.

By itself, this system is a clever piece of technology designetes with all the necessary features for an overall very fair price.

But that that has already hinted at, but weighs in a negative way really all the advantages of the device back on: The system is unreliable, it dissolves when the door / window opening times the alarm and sometimes not - and is not the function of the device given the whole thing is done as an alarm system to absurdity:

The door / window contacts the plant solve although wide open standing, again the alarm is not enough. Depending on how you test the alarm system, is often not initiated at half the trials. And so the alarm does simply not what they intended: trigger an alarm if someone enters apartment or house. ZBD so is the whole thing simply unusable (and flies out again).

The door contact I have properly installed (up some material is going so just fine). The type of installation I have also described the service of Olympic marketing, the agree, here there is no error (even after their view) occurred. With me exactly presented the one that is described in other reviews and comments:
When the system is thoroughly tested, door and window up at short intervals and are closed up, then the system triggers always made. If the plant is however focused eight or ten hours in live operation times and then one enters or leaves the house or apartment, the alarm is not triggered. In the first week of the part was still working, then the problems started. Meanwhile, the following phenomenon has set: If I want to trigger the system in the morning on purpose by opening the door, then they will remain silent (it was then ten hours overnight inactive sharp). That's interestingly always so. If I then ask the system sharply with leaving the house and when coming back from the work release (after six to eight hours), the trigger works usually reliable. Also an exchange of batteries, replacement of the sensor, reducing the distance of the base to the sensor of about three to about one meter does not change anything.
I have explained to the customer service of the Olympic marketing of this problem in some detail. I have a few times with the house of Olympia corresponds (with the intention nachzuhören where you can see the error). Man has always been friendly and helpful, but is not really addressed the problem, withdraws that I as a regrettable individual case a Monday device would have caught hold, would you repair or exchange halt. Constructive defects can not be seen on the part of Olympic sales and relies on a review in a "ETM test magazine", whose independence I can not judge. Following I also like to post portions of the correspondence in the comments. That was not really helpful and satisfying.

Conclusion: Actually a great facility they just will not work. Therefore, I can forgive only the minimum rating because the system does not know what they want. Worse, if you install the system and then just one after the sensors several tests to see if the installation has worked, then you get a false sense of security conveyed to the plant can not contribute. Only the long-term test revealed the serious shortcomings in me. It's a shame and I am a bit upset, but it uses nothing: I build the system again and then she flies out. It does not indeed. And who reads the reviews here carefully, will notice I'm not the only one.
