Tattletale Portable Alarm SystemsReviews of tattletale.com

Have used Tattletale for about 4 going on 5 years. It has been a great product. However, they changed the app to set the alarm from my phone; making it far more cumbersome. Will change companies when I find a suitable replacement

Failed to find 5g signal. Also arrived with defective power supply. Unit was refurbished. Sent back for refund. Still have my old unit working. Puerto Rico still on 3g.

Add on strobe / alarm doesn’t work and sensitivity of tamper is too sensitive.

Excellent service for technical support - however customer service is not as good, left feeling unwanted as complaints have gone unanswered for service issues

When you need to change the arm/disarm times there are always glitches. The dashboard is not very self explanatory, and having to fill in the weeks for the alarm to function is sometimes confusing.

billing was rough when I extended my plan via a trade in deal with a new base unit. got several erroneous bills which support told me to just "ignore". love the app functionality...when it works. at least once a week, I get an error trying to arm the alarm, saying it timed out. you can never tell what the status of the alarm will be when this happens, regardless of what the app says. sometimes it will be on and sometimes off.

The unit has come in very handy and gives me a sense of security when we are traveling around the country and going off on short excursions. It has worked very well as I set it up when we leave the camper, it will text me and email me if there's a problem, which I have tested many times before our trip across country, Fortunately I had not had anyone break into the RV to confirm that it worked out in the Real world. When I first received the unit I called Tattletale's head office and a gentleman there help me set up the unit which was not only very helpful but very reassuring. I also purchased a glass break as well as a motion sensor in the back bedroom area. Overall the unit is very easy to set up and easy to use. I purchased an additional Key Fob and showed my children and my wife how to activate and deactivate the unit, again its really easy to use. The one issue I have with it is that the portable unit that I have does not have a loud audible siren nor does it have an option to purchase an exterior siren that I can hard wire onto the RV. My feeling is that if anyone was stupid enough to break in they wouldn't worry about rummaging through the camper as the unit doesn't make a lot of noise. It is true that I will notified me via text and email but if I am not getting service (Like hiking down the Grand Canyon) Then I will never be notified and the only fear the intruder has is the fear is this weak audible siren on the unit, which easily could be covered with a pillow. I'm sure there would be many ways that the intruder will mask the sound of the siren. This is the one big problem I have with this unit. I did speak to customer service at Tattletale and they said that they are looking into producing something, if they get that I would give it a five star rating., because then it really will be achieving what most of us out in the camping world would want and that is a SUPER LOUD unit. If an intruder does break into your camper it will be such a loud siren, for the entire community to hear, that they will run for dear life. I would recommend purchasing this portable unit just be aware of the week siren I guess something is better than nothing
