Best System for Basic Applications (Homes and Apartments)
By Maisie Sykes
It's very difficult to find a justifiably priced alarm system on Amazon. The few exceptional systems cost over $500 dollars, and the cheap $60 dollar systems don't usually give enough accessories to truly protect and secure the home, and the main features end up suffering as a result. I came across this Fortress system a week or so ago, and I was pleasantly surprised at what came with the system, and the price point was very fair. In order to do justice to anyone considering this system, I will briefly go over the main parts of the S02-B system. To preface, the entire system is preprogrammed, so that shaves a significant amount of time off the initial installation, especially for someone not accustomed to security systems.

A. Main Panel: The main panel is very standard as far as alarm system main panels go. Fairly cheaply made, but communicates well with all the other accessories. Auto-dial feature calls out up to 5 numbers subsequently in case of a break-in, and it also plays a 10 second recorded message, which you record yourself. You can also control the system from your phone, which includes arming the system, disarming the system, and listening in. This is a very useful and handy feature.

B. Contacts: This system comes with 10 contacts. The contacts are placed underneath the main panel in the packaging, along with the power adaptor for the outdoor siren and the panic button. 9 contacts are on the bottom, and they are all numbered from 5 to 14, which designate how they interact with the main panel. Each contact comes with a magnet, transmitter, and adhesive tape that attaches to the door/window frame. These are very easy to place around windows, etc. Make sure the smaller magnet piece, is on the side of the transmitter with the 2 LED lights. It will not work on the other side (Make sure the red light flashes when they are pulled apart from one another.

C. Motion Detectors: This system comes with 3 motion detectors.The motion detectors come with a swivel, a few screws with screw "holders," and a mounting bracket. Setting these motion detectors up are very quick and easy, and all you need is a screw driver. They work extremely well, and pick up even the slightest of movement by a person. I was very impressed with them, as I have had experience with other systems, and they didn't work nearly this well.

D. Remotes: This system comes with 3 remotes. The remote has 4 buttons; arm, disarm, emergency help, and home arm. I only use the remotes, since they are so easy to use, and I do not even have to touch the base.

E. Indoor/Outdoor Siren: The indoor siren is wired and plugs right into the base unit, it is very loud. The outdoor siren has 10 feet of cord to play around with, and also packs a very loud punch, be careful when testing. They are both preprogrammed, and come with all the necessary adapters. I placed my outdoor siren in the top portion of my sliding glass door leading to the patio, and my indoor siren (110 dB) is right next to the main panel in the hallway.

Pros: The system is very cheap for what you get, and it comes with enough accessories to fully secure a moderately sized home or apartment. The auto-dial feature is very cool, and I love the fact the system will notify me. Fortress customer support is very efficient and fast, and they reply back to Amazon emails within a few hours, and in some cases even quicker. Fortress has their own website with updated manuals and videos which makes installation a breeze, and questions be answered quickly.
Cons: No major bells/whistles, Very Basic. But I wouldn't expect any for the price.

Overall a very solid purchase for a beginner looking to protect their home. And the Seller "Fortress", is very available for their customers, and will guide you with baby steps, until you feel 100% confident with your system. Thanks again Mike!

Fortress Secure Solutions - Wireless Systems
By Robert from Hawaii
I ordered this wireless system and it arrived promptly. It is an excellent system. I like the feature where you can activate the system using different zones for the sensors. At night or while at home I can hit the HOME alarm button on the remote and can still walk around the house without setting off the alarm because the motion detectors are in a separate zone. The perimeter (doors and windows) are in a different zone so they can still trigger an alarm. When leaving the house I can hit the AWAY alarm button and EVERYTHING is activated. The siren is very loud. I ordered an extra outdoor siren to cover the front and back of my house and also ordered an extra motion sensor so I now feel very secure when away from my home. Both the outdoor siren and motion detector also arrived quickly.

Though the manual was somewhat confusing, the excellent service I received from Mike, who I believe owns the company, was excellent. He returned my calls promptly and patiently went through each step of the installation process with me. I was quite impressed with the service and is largely why I would rate this purchase as EXCELLENT. The price was really quite reasonable and thus far the alarm has performed well. I have not yet installed the phone feature, but I'm confident that if I run into any difficulty I can expect great help from the support staff.

You can't go wrong with this system...great product, low price and excellent support service!

Amazing Alarm at an Amazing price with Amazing Customer Service!
By Snapperheadjoe
I've been looking into self monitored alarm systems for some time know. I can say without a doubt this is the best deal around. The system works great and is very easy to install. I won't go into detail because several other reviewers have covered the operation of the system and how easy it is to install. The system does have its limitations, you can't set the arm or alarm delay lower than 1 minute. I would have liked to set it at 30 seconds or below. You can see from the build quality that this is a mass produced product from China however you can't expect ADT quality components for $180 or less. I've been following the reviews from others for several months and no one has yet to complain that the system falls apart after 6 months. I've had it installed for two weeks and it is working perfectly.

I've only had two issues, I ordered 5 additional window/door sensors from Fortress Security and one of the sensors was bad. Mike from Fortress sent me two replacements right way. The external siren had a short which blew out the power supply so Mike sent out a new Siren and power supply. The system comes with a 3 year warranty, I have to believe that the components are above average for the seller to warranty the system for that long.

I know this is a product review but I have to give Mike from Fortress some props. I have called him several times over the course of the installation and with the two hardware problems. He was always very courteous and helpful and responded quickly to all of my requests. His customer services skills are well worth the price of the system. Great job Mike!
