HENDUN SZSF03R review

A standalone magnetic door and window alarm with a remote control, which HENDUN states can be paired with up to eight remotes per sensor, and used as a chime as well as an alarm.

The conclusion A noise on one door, for very little. Test the gap before sticking it down.

The simplest device in this hub: a magnet, a switch, a battery and a siren.

Where it belongs

One door. A shed, a gate, an internal door to a room that should stay shut. It makes a noise when the magnet leaves the switch, and nothing else happens.

That is enough when somebody is nearby, and it is nothing at all when the building is empty. Standalone contacts do not add up to a system, however many you buy — a system needs a hub that knows which sensor fired and can tell you about it.

The eight remotes

Unusual and useful on a shared entrance: everyone who needs to open the gate gets a fob, and nobody needs to be added to an app. It is the same problem a combination lock solves, and the same caution applies — eight remotes is eight things that can be lost, and there is no way to revoke one.

The specification that is not published

Gap tolerance. Every contact sensor holds its switch closed with a magnet, and how far apart the two halves can sit before it opens — usually 10 to 25 mm (0.39 to 0.98 in) — decides whether it works on your door. It is not stated here.

Test it in position, holding both halves in place, before peeling the adhesive. A vinyl window that closes onto a deep recess defeats sensors rated for a small gap, and it fails on a windy night rather than on the day you fit it.

Who it suits

A gate, a shed, or one door in a house.

What reassures, and what does not

Strengths

  • Completely standalone: no hub, no app, no account
  • Up to eight remotes per sensor, so several people can arm and disarm it
  • Doubles as a chime for a door you want announced
  • The cheapest in this hub after the Sonoff SNZB-04P, which needs a Zigbee hub

Compromises

  • No notifications and no log
  • Fixed volume, and not a pool alarm: the listing says it does not meet UL 2017
  • No published gap tolerance
  • Standalone sensors do not add up to a system

The questions we are asked

Why would I want eight remotes?

For a gate used by a family or a small business, where everybody needs to be able to disarm it. It is the same problem a combination padlock solves, applied to an alarm — and it is genuinely useful on a shared entrance.

Is a standalone contact worth having?

On one specific door, yes. A shed, a gate, an internal door to a room that should stay shut. It makes a noise where it is, which is enough when somebody is nearby and nothing at all when they are not.

What gap does it tolerate?

Not published. Contact sensors work by holding a switch closed with a magnet, and the gap they tolerate — usually somewhere between 10 and 25 mm (0.98 in) — decides whether they suit your door. Test it in place before committing the adhesive.

Our score

6.9/ 10

A noise on one door, for very little. Test the gap before sticking it down.

Against the rest of the door and window sensors

Between security devices of the same category and nearby price. Shown: what they all state. A half-filled column says nothing.

Model Price Type
HENDUN SZSF03R $10 Standalone magnetic contact alarm
KOLODOGO Door and window alarm, 5-pack, 90 dB, 3.54 × 1.18 × 0.79 in $10 A standalone alarm: the magnetic sensor triggers a 90 dB siren in the unit itself, and nothing is reported remotely. No app, no radio, no base station — Wireless in the title means no cable to run
PLOJOP Door and window alarm, 90 dB, 3.4 × 1.1 × 0.6 in $10 A standalone alarm, not a system sensor: the two parts separate, the unit screams at 90 dB where it is fitted, and nothing is reported anywhere else. The word Wireless in the title means no cable to run, not a radio link
Philips LRM3320W/27 window and door alarm, 4-pack, 120 dB with chime mode $19 A standalone alarm with a magnetic sensor: it sounds where it is fitted and reports nothing remotely. No app, no radio, no base station
