Honeywell releases the Lyric system SIXSIREN. Quite possibly the most advanced siren sensor on the market. This video will go over a first impressions look at the sensor and detail the good and the bad.

The new Lyric security system from Honeywell has all new technology for all in one wireless home protection. All of the sensors are battery operated and have full supervision which will give you complete control of your entire home defense system.

The SIXSIREN sensor is a mini computer that is able to receive wireless firmware updates through the secure connection. The look of the sensor matches the look of the lyric system, including the Honeywell “waffle pattern” which allows for aesthetic appearance and a low profile that will tie your system together, visually.

Installing the sensor to the ceiling is made easy with a removable back plate that slide-locks in place. Removing the back plate allows for simple installation and mounting. Using the included wall anchors and screws you can quickly add motion detection to your existing Lyric security system.

As you will see in the video, the new sensor is the same in size and appearance to a carbon monoxide or smoke alarm. Smaller and round as opposed to the bulky, heavy square wireless siren from previous models. This siren will mount on a wall or a ceiling.

Each sensor will Sound an alarm through a high pitched audible alert, much like the smoke and heat detectors in the SIX series. This sensor has two-way communication with the system control panel and when receiving the alert from the panel, it will sound the alarm, alerting you to an intrusion, glass break, or any other alert that they system is enrolled to detect.

The Lyric SIXSIREN sensor runs on 4 double “A” lithium batteries. We recommend you replace your batteries at least every six months. However, the sensor’s computer chip will read the battery level and you can use the Lyric control panel to see the battery level at any time.

The maximum audible range for the siren hasn’t officially been measured, but you can hear it from anywhere in your home or business as well as some distance from outside. However, with future firmware upgrades this may improve. You can mount the sensor to a ceiling or the wall in any room where you feel the siren would best be heard.

The video will outline that the sensor also comes with two tamper switches that prevent the Lyric SIXSIREN sensor from being disabled. The first is on the mounting plate locking device. If the front plate is ever twisted off and removed from the backing plate, the tamper switch would be released and an alert would fire, notifying the panel, and you of a tamper.

The second is used when mounting. The video will explain that if you utilize the stud mount tamper switch, the alert would fire if the unit was ever removed from the wall. The break away tab would stay behind, releasing the tamper switch and alerting you with a tamper alarm.
