ABUS FUMK45000 review

The opening detector for ABUS's Smartvest Pro alarm. It reports unauthorized opening of doors, windows and patio doors, and triggers whatever scenarios have been configured on the panel.

The conclusion A component of a system rather than a device. Right if you own a Smartvest Pro, pointless otherwise.

This sensor is priced as part of a system rather than as a contact, and the difference is not in the switch or the magnet.

What you are paying for

Supervision. The Smartvest Pro panel knows this sensor exists. It notices when the sensor stops reporting — a dead battery, a removed sensor, a jammed radio — rather than treating silence as normal. Standalone contacts cannot do this, and silence is precisely the state an intruder is trying to produce.

Scenarios rather than a noise

A standalone alarm has one response. A sensor inside a system can sound a siren, notify a phone, switch a light and start a camera recording, and can do different things at different times of day. That flexibility is what a panel is for.

The obvious limit

Smartvest Pro and nothing else. Alarm sensors are proprietary, and this one is useless with any other hub. That makes the system choice the important decision and this purchase a consequence of it.

What is not published

Gap tolerance. On windows closing onto a deep recess it is the specification that decides whether the sensor works, and the manual rather than the listing is where to find it.

Who it suits

An ABUS Smartvest Pro owner adding an opening.

Availability

Not found on the American Amazon store, where the buy link falls back to a local search rather than to a page that does not exist.

Prices and availability are what Keepa reported on the date this page was updated; both move.

What reassures, and what does not

Strengths

  • Part of a proper alarm system rather than a standalone noise
  • Triggers configured scenarios, not only the siren
  • From a manufacturer whose main business is physical security
  • Designed for windows, front doors and patio doors alike

Compromises

  • Smartvest Pro only — it does nothing with any other system
  • Only worth its price inside a Smartvest Pro system
  • No gap tolerance published on the listing
  • Sensors from established alarm makers cost several times generic ones

The questions we are asked

Why does it cost several times a generic sensor?

Because it is part of a supervised system. The panel knows this sensor exists, notices when it stops reporting, and can act on it in ways a standalone alarm cannot. You are buying membership of a system rather than a switch and a magnet.

What are "scenarios"?

Actions configured on the panel: sound the siren, notify a phone, switch a light, start a camera recording. A contact that only makes a noise is limited to one response; one inside a system can produce several, and different ones by time of day.

What gap does it tolerate?

Not published on this listing. Where a manufacturer does not state a figure, this page does not supply one — the manual is where to check, and it matters most on windows that close onto a deep recess.

Our score

8.7/ 10

A component of a system rather than a device. Right if you own a Smartvest Pro, pointless otherwise.
