HoneywellRCWL330A P4-Premium Portable Wireless Doorbell and Push Button

Some of the other reviewers referenced the provided directions as a waste. I would say you need a basic understanding of electronics to interpret but they are pretty straight forward. I purchased the doorbell unit, the upgraded black with gold plated door button and several door/window sensors. In all I purchased enough parts for 2 door bells and 4 door/window notifications. The product description provided by Honeywell does not tell you for every window or door that you wish to be notified is opened, you must purchase one converter AND one set of wired door contacts. This adds up fast, very fast. In any case, to the set up and performance of the unit. For now I have just set up the 2 doorbells and 1 door open notifier and the set up was fairly easy. From opening the packaging to setting up the door chimes, to mounting the (what I call) door notifier took me about an hour and a half and I played around with the unit allot before installing. Mainly checking out the door chimes but also reprogramming the provided push button and the additional black and gold one I purchased. What I thought was inventive and progressive with the unit is the door open notifier has its own notification aside from the provided door chimes and it sounds like a door open notifier. I think a couple of the door chimes are a bit hokey. I think they were running out of ideas. The unit comes with a volume knob which was an excellent idea on there part as this thing is loud with the volume cranked. The light that is installed in the unit is functional, bright and eye catching and in my opinion is a very useful feature for the hearing impaired. It flashes like a strobe light when the door bell is rung. Of the 6 programmable notifiers, each one has its own display with picture or the option of placing numbers in place of the pictures so when a doorbell is rung or door is opened you know visually what door bell is being rung and so forth. Once again another nice feature for the hearing impaired. I will say if you mount the unit on a wall where a doorbell is usually mounted (high up) the picture feature will not be very useful. With that being said the unit is not ugly and is about the size of a book AND stands on it own quite well. So not mounting it on a wall and just setting it somewhere is acceptable in my opinion. If you do decide to mount it on a wall, hardware is provided and is very simple. If you can hang a picture even somewhat straight, you can hang this unit. In conclusion Honeywell is synonymous with security (at least in my neck of the woods) and the doorbell buttons have the Honeywell name placed right on them which can't hurt in possibly conveying to a potential intruder your home is fully wired with a Honeywell Security system. In conclusion to my conclusion as I almost forgot the most important point. How is the signal? I believe it to be very good. Now I have not tested nor do I plan to test it to the 450ft working range so I cannot speak to this. What I will say is my furthest door is 40 plus feet away from the doorbell itself and the buttons signal must travel through 2 insulated 2x6 walls plus 2 more interior walls and it works perfectly. No delay to speak of. No repeat button pushing AND the buttons have a signal light on them so the user knows they have pushed the button. I highly recommend this unit. Thanks for the read and I hope this helps in your decision.

At these prices, this is a top-notch deal. We used this to not only provide front & rear door bells with buttons, we also connected the motion detect from our CCTV system and two door opening detectors for security.The reports on the Honeywell wireless motion detector and the wired door contacts were horrible, while the reviews of the wireless surface mount push buttons were glowing, so we bought 5 of the Honeywell push buttons for less than $13 each, in addition to the RCWL330A.I agree with common complaints such as the scant value of the installation booklet, and the very limited range of the wireless devices. There also doesn't seem to be a Honeywell website for further learning. We were interested in the ability to provide power to this device from a wall outlet so that we could extend the life of the batteries. Even though there is a socket on the side of the RCWL330A calling for 6VDC, there is no offering for the charger anywhere.The most valuable pages in the manual dealt with programming procedures, and these must be read, understood & followed well. I think that those reviewers who believe that their device options were limited, did not follow the programming procedure properly. We have 5 different channels, each with their own icons, and each with their own chime patterns, and they all were implemented as expected from the instructions, and we had complete control over the icons and the selected chime patterns.The 450 foot range stated by Honeywell must be in the clear, no walls or other obstacles. We couldn't even get 60 feet unless we assured that all units were mounted on the vertical (antenna alignment).The door contacts we used were also from Amazon, at $6 each pair, and had N.O. contacts and N.C. contacts.We performed surgery on 3 of the wireless push buttons to allow us to add the CCTV motion detect and the door contacts. This is not a job that most people can perform, however it allowed us to extend two wires from each of these push button assemblies. We connected a 26AWG Kynar coated wire from the surface-mounted RC pair and another from the common ground.We had a concern during the decision-making phase as to whether the actual sound would be as rich as demonstrated on some websites. The sound from little boxes can be trashy. Rest assured, the chimes are rich in sound, and the 6 choices are sufficient to find a best sound for each of one's applications.Five starts because, at a little over $100, we have significantly improved the convenience and security of our home, with a system that looks, sounds and operates with quality. Overcoming the few hurdles was so easy.
