Part of the GE Choice Alert Wireless Alarm System
The GE 45142 Wireless Control Center Starter Kit is the primary component of the GE Choice Alert Wireless Alarm System line of products. Cost-effective and easy to install, Choice Alert components offer wireless operation, multi-zone coverage, home and away settings, and expandability for complete home protection.

With wireless capabilities, Choice Alert products require no complicated wiring, drilling or expensive installation costs. And because they are designed to be part of a self-contained system, there are no monthly usage charges. System components are simple enough for anyone to use, and they can be combined to provide a customized blanket of protection over your entire property.

Wireless Control Center for Sensor Monitoring
The entire Choice Alert Security System is designed around the Wireless Control Center, the system's hub. The Control Center monitors each and every sensor that is wirelessly connected to it. As many as four sensors can be programmed in each of four zones, giving you the security of up to 16 sensors to guard your entire home, including sensors for doors, windows, gates, water leaks, and motion detection.

The Wireless Control Center allows you to secure your system with a custom four-digit code that can be changed at any time. Plus, the center lets you control many system features. For example, you can select 'Home' mode for an instant alarm and 'Away' mode for a delayed alarm. In addition to the armed alarm system, the Control Center also offers a visible and audible Zone Notification alert system (with a choice of continuous alert or single chime mode) and a dedicated alert zone (Zone 4). The center wirelessly transmits and receives signals up to 150 feet.

Additionally, the Wireless Control Center features a low-battery indicator that will alert you when battery power is low in a specific zone, so you'll know exactly when to replace the batteries in every one of your components.

Combine Components for Total Home Coverage
There are several components available for use with the Wireless Control Center, including a door/window sensor, motion detector, water leak sensor, secondary audio alarm siren, signal repeater (for enhanced wireless range), garage door sensor, and Silent Alert LED indicator.. Add up to 16 sensors and give yourself the peace of mind that only complete home protection can provide.

Quick and Easy Pairing With Choice Alert Sensors
The Wireless Control Center features a dedicated "Learn" button that lets you easily pair Choice Alert Sensors within a matter of seconds. The process for disabling sensors is just as simple, making for hassle-free customization of your Choice Alert Security system. There's also a dedicated switch for toggling between 'Alert', 'Chime', and 'Off' modes (affects Zones One, Two, and Three only).

The Control Center includes a special dedicated alert zone (Zone 4) that is always monitored, regardless of the alarm settings. This is ideal for alerting you of water leaks, and open garage, shed, freezer, or medicine-cabinet doors--areas of your home that you want to continually monitor with a silent alarm.

All-Weather Door/Window Sensor that Installs Within Minutes
Installing the Door/Window Sensor couldn't be any easier. Using the included double-sided tape or screws and mounting plate, the sensor mounts to most doors (interior and exterior), gates, or windows within minutes. There's no wiring involved--the sensor transmits alerts wirelessly to the Choice Alert Wireless Control Center within a range of 150 feet.

The Choice Alert Door/Window Sensor can be paired with any of the Wireless Control Center's four zones, and pairing takes just seconds. Zones One, Two, and Three provide alarm protection, while Zone Four is a dedicated alert zone that generates a visual alert along with a continuous beep to discreetly warn you when the zone has been compromised.

The GE Choice Alert Wireless Control Center and Door/Window Sensor are backed by one-year limited warranties.

The control center was easy to set up with good instructions and the motion sensor worked fine during set up while it was only 10 feet away, but did not function reliably when moved outside 60 feet away and through a wall. If you can buy a better motion sensor that will adapt to this control center that would be ideal. Other control centers that even cost more don't have the features this one has. I never got past connecting other sensors or devices to this control center because of the poor performance of the motion sensor. I retruned the product for a refund.

This product is "somewhat" easy to set up. You must be electronically savy to set this up. I have always trusted GE and it is fairly a good product but setting up was not very easy. I bought the control center, two sensors. When you do set them up it really works great.


4 out of 5 stars Great entry alarm product for the money   January 8, 2009

I recently purchased this product (and 4 separate door/window sensors) to assist in securing out house at night. It was very easy to install and setup. It does have the "alarm and chime" options for entry, although there is an "off" option that will only allow the unit to flash the light of the unit opening if you desire. Once armed, the alarm is VERY loud. We actually used our firearms ear-protection to test all of the units once installed because it was so loud!

The only downside is that if you were to use it similar to that of a "Brinks" or "ADT" system, meaning a delay so that you can enter/exit the building and have the alarm on a timed delay, there is limited availability of this. Although it does feature this, it is audible and is limited to 45 seconds. I would like to option of no audible notice of the timer and the ability to change/lessen the time.

Overall, it is a wonderful product that will not hurt your wallet!
