We like:
Funky styling; Sends SMS alerts about intruders
We don't like:
Pricey; it's entirely dependent on you having a neighbour or friend nearby who can respond to alerts
CNET UK judgement:
We'd only recommend the Alertme to people with more money than sense. Yes, it sends you texts to say whether someone's broken into your home, but for most of us, that doesn't seem particularly useful
