Customer Critiques


I wanted a cheap and painless to install method to alert me if my young daughter somehow managed to get out of the home whilst I was napping. We have physical security (with locks) but I just wanted an added layer of protection.
This program met my needs perfectly. I skipped the screws and double sided tape as this technique will be replaced by a thing far more sophisticated in a year. I employed hot-melt glue to attach the door sensors. I obtain hot-melt glue simpler to eliminate than double sided tape.
Thanks to the beep generated by the alarm box, I can effortlessly test the sensors by opening a door when the technique is not armed. So far, it has been 100% reputable in my two story, 3200 square foot residence.
I have seen complaints about unreliable operation from other clients. As with any wireless program, your expertise could vary. Any individual who lives near a radio or Television transmitter or below power lines may perhaps acquire the wireless connections unreliable.
The principal improvement I will make is to switch over to the embedded magnet sensors that my builder put into the doors and windows. The SC-10W program would operate just fine with that. The most important factor lacking which will cause me to switch is the lack of a dialer that can send an alarm by wireless telephone or supervised link.
Most bad guys will need to be intelligent enough to cut your phone line.
One other wish list item is to use a rechargeable battery in the alarm unit. According to the manual, the alarm unit's battery desires to be replaced even even though the unit is powered externally.
Lastly, it would be great if Skylink's security and automation systems had been integrated. Think about you could define operating modes for your process.
In "evening at home mode", motion detectors would manage lighting and door sensors are disarmed.
In "sleeping mode", motion detectors would be disabled (not armed, somebody could require water or to use the bathroom) and door sensors would be armed.
In "weekend at home mode", both motion detectors and door sensors would be disarmed.
In "out shopping or traveling mode", each motion detectors and door sensors would be armed and the dialer would be enabled.
In "party mode", outdoor lights would be turned on at sunset and private locations of the residence would be alarmed.

We bought this system to pair the door sensors, remotes and the siren with an SC-100 system. The directions to pair these pieces are not offered in the manual that came out of the box, but it is simple to download them from Skylink web site for every person piece. (I 1st made the siren unpaired from the other 4 pieces it came with.) Overall the setup was rather smooth.
The siren beeps when I disarm the primary unit, but it does not beep when I arm it. This is about the only complaint I have with it. The siren is really loud as soon as the alarm is tripped. You are going to wish you did not maintain the remotes next to the siren if you trigger it by mistake. :)
