How SoundAlert Works

SoundAlert is the Talking Wireless

Detection System that tells you

where and when someone’s been

detected.

The Sensor/Transmitters can be

located indoors or outdoors and

when movement is detected, they

send a signal to the Base Station.

The SA12 system consists of a Base

Station, plus 2 Sensor/ Transmitters

and the SA24 System has 2 Base

Stations and 4 Sensor /Transmitters.

Additional Base Stations and

Sensor/ Transmitters can be 

purchased separately.

The Sensor/Transmitters are 

battery operated and they transmit

radio signals to the Base station.

The Base Station has six pre-

recorded messages, or you can

easily record your own messages.

The Base Station also has 4 “C”

relay dry contact outputs to activate

other devices, such as X10,

Leviton, or Lutron controls.
