It's an extremely weak design.  Unless the installer adds a
separate keypad and siren and defeats the on board ones, the
thief can follow the pre-alarm warning signal when he comes in
the door and smash the panel or just pull it off the wall,
completely defeating it before the siren triggers or any signal
is sent out.

The edge for alarm companies installing this system is it
requires almost no skill and can be accomplished in an hour or
so.  Some of the folks who install these systems don't even
bother with line seizure, disabling the alarm report if the thief
simply knocks a phone off the hook or unplugs phone cord from the
box.
