Wifi Smart Alarm Sytem Starter-Kit TX-84

TX-84: Starter Kit

The alarm system with Basis Station (“The Brain”), PIR Sensor, Door & Window contact, Remote and Alarm Siren is a basic kit for your home security. The Basis Station is installed and used with the free "My Secure Pro APP". The Basis Station has to be connected via WiFi. The sensors / detectors / sirens are connected with the radio frequency 868MHz to the Basis Station. The Basis Station informs you via push notification via the App on your Smartphone, when doors / windows are opened or the PIR Sensor is triggered. The base station and the siren that is switched on will also start making noise to frighten the burglar.

Warning: The user manual is full of spelling mistakes. Not very professional...
