How Loud is the Honeywell L5210's Internal Siren?

Hidy eyeliners Joe here from alarm grid and today we're going to talk about how loud the siren is on the l5210 panel the system that we have right here is an l5210 and as you can see it has a four and a half inch screen touchscreen and the built-in siren is right down here on the bottom I just want to go over some features on the system first in case you have one of these in your home and you're wondering what it can do the system is relatively versatile and it's still compatible with all of Honeywell's new remote services some modules that you may want to install in the system if you do have one one of the more common ones is the el 5100 Wi-Fi module what this will allow you to do is connect the system to a Wi-Fi network and this supports all of the system's communication that means is that you can have just as module installed and this is going to be fully monitored and you'll be able to access it with Total Connect 2.0 another module that we recommend as it's very inexpensive is the l5100 z-wave module what this will allow you to do is interface the system with home automation devices such as lights locks thermostats and other compatible ziwei things that you may have in your home it's a very versatile little module and if you have Total Connect 2.0 you'll actually be able to control all of your automation devices right through the application and on the system to another very popular module for this panel is the 3 GL cellular module this module lets it connect to an AT&T 3G network and it does support all of its alarms communication so if you just wanting to use this with cellular you can certainly do so on this panel one of the benefits of the cellular and the Wi-Fi module is that you if you install both of them in the system it can work with dual path communication what that means is that if the Wi-Fi network or the Wi-Fi communication goes down the system is going to automatically rollover it's a cellular communication and continue to signal out it's a great way to have a redundant path of communication in your system and we do recommend it as Wi-Fi is relatively spotty going back to the system itself the internal siren has an eight decibel output and is fairly loud if you have a small home or an apartment it may suffice to wake you up many customers are perfectly okay with the system but many other customers do require or do want an additional siren option if you have this panel mounted by your front door and your bedrooms on the second floor or further in the house you may feel that it's not gonna wake you up or even notify you if it does go off there are other siren options with the panel three of the main ones are the first is the the 5800 wave siren it's a wireless siren that only requires to be plugged into an outlet the benefits of that is how easy it is to install you can place it in a bedroom hallway in the bedroom itself or anywhere that you really want to be notified of an alarm the downside to the 5800 wave is that it only outputs 77 decibels and for some people that's just not loud enough they do require a louder siren there's two kits that we do sell one is called the Lynx ext the other is called Lynx wix2 these are kits that allow you to integrate a wired siren with the system and as long as the siren doesn't over draw the power supply that's in the kit you can use whatever model you'd like the benefit to that is that wired sirens are usually much louder than any of the wireless irons that are available and it absolutely can be louder than the internal siren of the system with the kits you could install an outdoor one on the side of the house that you're notified outside you can put a ladder one inside of the house and it just kind of opens up some options for you to install whatever siren you'd like with the panel that's pretty much the l5210 internal siren keep in mind it's 88 decibels if you did enjoy the video head over to our website alarm grid comm check out we have to offer also hit subscribe and if you'd like to get notified of future videos when we post them click the notification button and you'll do so thanks for visiting and have a great day
