Client Critiques


I wanted a inexpensive and very easy to install technique to alert me if my young daughter somehow managed to get out of the house though I was napping. We have physical security (with locks) but I just wanted an added layer of protection.
This technique met my demands perfectly. I skipped the screws and double sided tape as this program will be replaced by some thing way more sophisticated in a year. I utilised hot-melt glue to attach the door sensors. I get hot-melt glue less difficult to eliminate 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 program is not armed. So far, it has been 100% reliable in my two story, 3200 square foot residence.
I have seen complaints about unreliable operation from other buyers. As with any wireless system, your experience may well differ. Anybody who lives near a radio or Tv transmitter or under power lines may perhaps discover the wireless connections unreliable.
The principal improvement I will make is to switch more than to the embedded magnet sensors that my builder put into the doors and windows. The SC-10W system would work just fine with that. The principal point lacking which will trigger me to switch is the lack of a dialer that can send an alarm by wireless phone or supervised link.
Most poor guys will need to be sensible enough to cut your phone line.
One more wish list item is to use a rechargeable battery in the alarm unit. According to the manual, the alarm unit's battery needs to be replaced even though the unit is powered externally.
Lastly, it would be fantastic if Skylink's safety and automation systems were integrated. Visualize you could define operating modes for your technique.
In "evening at household mode", motion detectors would manage lighting and door sensors are disarmed.
In "sleeping mode", motion detectors would be disabled (not armed, a person could possibly need water or to use the bathroom) and door sensors would be armed.
In "weekend at household 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 house would be alarmed.

We bought this program to pair the door sensors, remotes and the siren with an SC-100 program. The instructions to pair these pieces are not provided in the manual that came out of the box, but it is painless to download them from Skylink webpage for each and every individual piece. (I very first created the siren unpaired from the other four pieces it came with.) General the setup was fairly 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 extremely loud once the alarm is tripped. You will wish you did not hold the remotes next to the siren if you trigger it by mistake. :)
