Skylink SC-1000 Wireless Alarm System

Average Rating:

This kit incorporates a total wireless security system that may be installed in seconds. Includes : motion sensor and two door / window sensors, emergency dialer and security control panel.

The emergency dialer ( AD433S ) is your own monitoring center without any monitoring charges.

If any sensors are caused when the system is armed, the siren will sound and it'll send a wireless signal to the dialer that may call for help at the same time. Once the recipient picks up the telephone, the emergency dialer will play your pre-recorded message and inform the recipient that you are in an emergency and to send help straight away.

Effective remote monitoring system

By Kennedy De Silva

This system is ideal if you want to be notified if there's is a break in, but don't want to pay an arm and a leg, plus your first born for the service.

It can call multiple numbers with a pre-recorded message to let your friends, family and you etc, know that there's a break in. You can set the order or frequency of calls to the programmed numbers. It can be set to silent or audible alarms and you can add vibration, smoke , temprature detector etc, modules to it.

You can set different zones to react instantly or to count down before going off. In addition you can slowly keep growing/adding on security sensors as your budget allow.

I've been using it for some months now with no problems and its real, real, easy to configure. I had one issue with it however and it's not a unique problem to the device. Be careful where you put the motion sensor or you'll get constant false alarms. Light reflecting through your windows/glass doors could set it off. Have it face inwards and away from mirrors that can 'see' the windows/glassdoors. Forgetting to turn off the ceiling fan caught me in the first few days. Apparently it was turning the pages on a magazine in some cases, and moving the curtains in the next.

Finally, it has a wide detection arc, so really think about where you are placing it(motion sensor).

Did I also mention that it uses 9volt batteries as backup power, though I am not sure how long that last or if it can recharge rechargable ones.

Highly functional, adapts to your specific needs
By T. Gloersen "rameye"

I just finished my install on the SC1000.It works exactly as described in the literature. I called customer support with a question and a technician called me right back.

As far as the dialer discussion goes....If you have the SC1000 you dont have to register all of the sensors to the dialer seperately! You can if you want to, but you dont have too (I certainly would not reccomend this). You can simply follow the instructions and link the control panel to the dialer. Using this arrangement, the dialer will not dial unless the control panel actually goes into full alarm.

As mentioned before, if the control panel does sound, and the dialer starts to dial, you must shut off the dialer seperately from the controller, but only if the alarm sounded. I like this..let the bad guys smash the control panel, and let the dialer somewhere else in the house do it's thing!
This relay arrangment also allows you to hide the dialer in a closet or somewhere out of the way where it can silently dial out to whomever.

Overall I give the system an A for functionality, and allowing itself to adapt to each installers/homeowners specific security needs. Each zone can be modified to work a different way...nice!

I would consider getting a secondary siren just so if the bad guys kill the control panel the remote siren keeps blasting away!Worth the 160 I paid.

Exceptional Home Security System

By Clifford M. Gordon (Toledo, Ohio)

I bought this product just over a month ago. This product works as promised. Very Loud alarm, I particularly like the alert-phone-dialing when security is breached. Exceptionally easy to set-up. Anyone can do it. It takes less than an hour (and I am not much of a handy-man).

Programing is very simple, just follow instruction. I did have an issue, however. One item came defective. I called the product manufacturer and the support was less than satisfactory.

I then called AMAZON and they immediately shipped a replacement, no questions asked. Way to go AMAZON!!. Overall, it is a very good product, and I love doing business with AMAZON.
