Breaking base station / blocking signal, defeats alarm?

@davey_d​ Good to know about the immediate alarm if unplugged, but this still seems like a vulnerability that would be easily remedied if the alarm countdown and disarm were 2 separate signals.

Perhaps it would cause some false alarms if there was a missed disarm signal, but theoretically this seems like something that should be looked into. For all of the other vulnerabilities SS has thought of including battery backup/cellular, this seems like a fairly simple implementation. 

@pvalliere​ Our most recent response is still up to date. If the Base Station was completely destroyed during the Entry Delay it would stop the alarm signal; but the Base Station is tough and it's not easy to break it. And as mentioned by Davey, if an intruder unplugs the Base Station from power it will bypass the Entry Delay countdown and instantly trigger an alarm.

@emily_s​  are you being serious? Tough and not easy to break? You don’t have to break it. You literally have to simply twist the base station in one direction and then you can access the entire guts, circuit board, etc. 

I would be interested to hear any updates on this. I just stumbled across this post, And now I’m concerned that my system has a pretty major vulnerability. 

@mpelzsherman​ you would have to somehow be able to find the Base Station and completely destroy it before the countdown completes. And as we mentioned, unplugging the Base Station even bypasses the countdown and sends the signal immediately.

And on top of that, we also have Instant Trigger, which you can set for individual sensors, which also bypasses the countdown. We recommend that setting for windows and doors that you use less often, but you can set it for all sensors if you wish.

So in short, the system is designed with layers of security. By the time an intruder can get to the Base Station, it will already be too late for them.

yo davey, you’re jogging my wrap boi….my renoylds wrap question. i’m curious about the aluminum foil?? let’s say an intruder finds the base station before the alarm goes off, does not unplug it, does not destroy it and does not remove the battery, however, decides to wrap it in heavy duty aluminum foil, or for that matter, simply puts it in a metal pot with a lid. Completely surrounding the base unit and its Signals, whether they be Wi-Fi or cellular, in its own tomb. then what?? last i checked aluminum foil is pretty much the end all be all must have for all these boosters in stores bypassing security systems much stronger than your hulkified base station and implemented by what we could truly call the pioneers of realtime security. so please don’t jog the issue…foil encased base unit…wifi green cellular green plugged in battery operated and still in count down mode::: once it’s completely encased in foil they then unplug the unit from wall.  WHAT HAPPENS???!!?? i’m betting nothing….NOTHINGWILL GET THRU TO YOU OR HOMEOWNER ALERTING THEM OF ANYTHING. jamming ALGORRITHM alerts PSH so what, DOESNT MATTER. RENOYLDS WRAP WINS HANDS DOWN. if there was a nuclear bomb threat id wrap myself in aluminum foil ….it can withstand infrared bbq propane heat about 550 degrees fahrenheit without deteriorating and you think your signal is gonna get thru that?!?! /ded
