GE 51107 Alarm Review

Hello and welcome back to the self proclaimed greatest wireless home security alarm system review site. Today we are going to delight and enthral all of you wonderful readers with an insightful post detailing the GE 51107 alarm review from good old General Electric. Aren’t you a lucky bunch!?

So, what do you get for handing over your hard earned cash for this little machine? Well it comes with a nice alarm for your door that is controlled from a four digit keypad; you also are presented with 3 separate alarms for your windows.

One thing that did please us when we opened up the box was the thin installation instructions. Now, we know what you may be thinking, you are probably asking yourself why the manufacturer has spent so little on the instructions. Well the answer to this is due to the fact that the device itself is so easy to install! No need to get your drill out and no need to do any electrical wiring to set this thing up.

This is always a plus point, yes the readership of this site will more than likely understand the basic concepts of wiring and drilling but devices such as these are required for the elderly too that may not have the knowledge or physical ability to do such tasks. The easier it is to install the better all round. We just wish that alarm manufacturers would use that as their mantra as some alarms are just plain complicated to install, even to us!

Luckily for everyone this kit is a simple mount on the wall job using the tape and screws included. All batteries are included in the package too and come with a low battery indicator to make sure you don’t run out of juice at an un-opportune moment.

In addition to this the alarm itself is a piece of cake to use. All buttons are laid out perfectly so even the fattest fingers can grace them without error. It also has a nice modern design look and feel to it too.

Let’s talk about the alarm itself. As you will know by now, cool home security are big fans of “the louder the better” mentality when it comes to the alarm sirens. The GE 51107 Smart Wireless Home Security Alarm System Kit packs a fair punch clocking in at nice120 decibels (enough to wake you and the neighbours up) that will give any sneaky thief a fright when it goes off.

That’s the thing here people, homeowners forget about what makes a good alarm. Yes it must be reliable, that is a given. But we see many people paying too much attention to settings and options on alarms that won’t make much of a difference anyway. Before you buy any alarm from a store, you have got to at least ask for a listen before you spend your money. If the alarm systems siren doesn’t make you jump then keep on looking until one of them does.

If it is not going to frighten you when you expect the noise, it certainly isn’t going to frighten a seasoned thief. Think about it, you need to put the jumps on any scumbag breaking into your house, you need to make them think that they have been rumbled and need to get out of the area before the police bust down the door and cuff their sorry asses!

That reminds us of a story of a good friend, I will warn you now however, this story doesn’t have a happy ending. Last year a man we know who shall go un-named was retiring for the night in his home on the west side of London, he had taken off his slippers and sipped the last of his Horlicks and tucked himself away for a nice cosy sleep.

The next day he woke from the alarm he sets to go to work. Once he jumped out of bed he realised that he could also hear the siren for the new alarm system he had bought. He then decided to walk downstairs to discover that the entire house had been ransacked and the siren on his alarm never even woke him up!

The thief who committed the heinous crime still remains at large and this has cost our friend an obscene amount of money in lost goods. When we were told about this incident, we were obviously a little sorry for this to happen to our friend but a little part of us did think “Told you so!”. What great friends we are! But yes, can not stress it enough, get your alarm siren to be as loud as possible, who cares if it annoys your neighbours? At least you will know that when it does go off you will at least be able to hear it.

Ok, where were we? Oh Yes the GE 51107 alarm review that’s right! We defiantly think that this is a quality alarm, it is cheap, loud and easy to install. Ticks the right boxes and actually looks quite modern and fashionable too.

If you are looking for a wireless home security alarm system that is affordable and will make the intruders jump out their skin then we advise you to give this product a try. We score the GE 51107 alarm review a gracious 7 out of 10.
