Buyer Critiques


I wanted a low-cost and quick to install program to alert me if my young daughter somehow managed to get out of the residence when I was napping. We have physical security (with locks) but I just wanted an additional layer of protection.
This system met my desires perfectly. I skipped the screws and double sided tape as this program will be replaced by some thing more sophisticated in a year. I put to use hot-melt glue to attach the door sensors. I find hot-melt glue simpler to get rid of than double sided tape.
Thanks to the beep generated by the alarm box, I can easily test the sensors by opening a door when the system is not armed. So far, it has been 100% trustworthy in my two story, 3200 square foot house.
I have noticed complaints about unreliable operation from other customers. As with any wireless technique, your expertise could possibly vary. Any person who lives close to a radio or Tv transmitter or beneath power lines could discover the wireless connections unreliable.
The major 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 principal factor lacking which will trigger me to switch is the lack of a dialer that can send an alarm by wireless telephone or supervised link.
Most undesirable guys should be intelligent sufficient to cut your phone line.
A different wish list item is to use a rechargeable battery in the alarm unit. According to the manual, the alarm unit's battery demands to be replaced even although the unit is powered externally.
Lastly, it would be terrific if Skylink's security and automation systems were integrated. Visualize you could define operating modes for your program.
In "evening at house mode", motion detectors would control lighting and door sensors are disarmed.
In "sleeping mode", motion detectors would be disabled (not armed, a person might possibly have to have water or to use the bathroom) and door sensors would be armed.
In "weekend at property mode", each motion detectors and door sensors would be disarmed.
In "out buying 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 places of the house would be alarmed.

We purchased this program to pair the door sensors, remotes and the siren with an SC-100 technique. The instructions to pair these pieces are not supplied in the manual that came out of the box, but it is quick to download them from Skylink web-site for each and every individual piece. (I initially created the siren unpaired from the other four pieces it came with.) General the setup was very smooth.
The siren beeps when I disarm the principal unit, but it does not beep when I arm it. This is about the only complaint I have with it. The siren is rather loud when the alarm is tripped. You will wish you did not hold the remotes next to the siren if you trigger it by mistake. :)
