Home Security Coverage

The big selling point for the X-Sense home security system is that it's incredibly easy to use, so you won't need to fuss with wires to get your motion detectors up and running. The sensors are quite large but accurate without continual false alerts.

We like the hub, which is compatible with all the major smart home systems - it's a sleek, modern device with LED lighting, so it won't look out of place wherever you keep it.

The basic security package includes the hub, motion sensor, two door or window sensors, and a remote control key fob you can use to turn it on or off. The upgraded set has an extra motion sensor and a further two door or window sensors.

Conclusion

X-Sense is a great choice if you don't have a massive budget to spend but want to give your home security an upgrade. The siren is suitably loud, so you won't overlook an activation, and the hub can manage up to 32 sensors and six remote controls, enough even for the largest of families!

The battery-powered sensors are chunky, but they'll last for about three years, so you won't find your property is vulnerable in a few short weeks. You can customise your system with the menus, for example, setting different chimes for different entry points or amending the sensitivity of your motion sensor.

Everything is recorded in a history log, so it's very simple to use and does a good job of adding a security layer without costing a bomb.
