Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Easy to configure and install. Linked 3 combo alarms from amazon. Some reviews have setup instructions, which can also be helpful.

Cons

Detector blares loudly twice. All the alarms in the house just blare with no indication which alarm. They just beep like normal non-networked detectors. No way to use it to test your family either.

It's worse than chinese water *! The battery life on these are terrible! These are the worst. Chicken little effect makes it worthless.

Mesh networking sounds cool, but when we tested it the voices ran together and made it harder to understand. Interconnection directions make no sense. Dip switches are so much better for interconnecting!

As many others have noticed, they are buggy, give false alarms. Once they do that, relentlessly.

Packaging/appearance

The packaging also says nothing about voice

There is even a sticker with a bar code that says sco 501cn on some of them right below where the packaging clearly indicates t... Read More

The difference is just that the 501 has retail packaging while the 500 comes in bubble wrap and a cardboard box

Competitiveness

Other than that this is a superior item
