If you like everything about the USAlarm door/window sensor except the appearance of this device where it can be seen by guests, you'll love the recessed door/window sensor. The only difference between these two is that the recessed sensor cannot be seen because it's hidden in the frame of the door or window. Although the installation is a little more tedious than the regular door or window sensor, it's still very simple to install. The efficiency of this sensor is the same high quality as what you see in the regular door/window sensor. Both of these USAlarm security sensors make it possible for you to know at all times any time a door or window in your home is opened or closed. With the help of Interactive Monitoring, you'll be notified of the status of your doors and windows regardless of whether you're home or away. Simple text messages or emails can notify you of any changes taking place in your home.

The recessed door/window sensor is great for those times where you want the security they provide without letting others know it's there. It's particularly chosen when you want a sensor but want it hidden for appearance reasons. It's less than 4 inches long so it's not difficult to conceal the recessed door/window sensor within the window or door frame. The best place to install this sensor is in the frame or casing of the door or window, while avoiding any moving parts of the doors or windows. Controlled by a 3V lithium battery with a life of 10 years, you won't need to worry about battery failure for quite a while. Although, they are basically easy to install they do require a little more than the standard door and window sensors. However, if you're comfortable with a drill and screwdriver, you'll have little or no problems installing your recessed door/window sensors yourself. If you have any questions, the staff at USAlarm is always happy to help and answer any questions you may have.
