User Reviews about Skylink SC-100 Security System Deluxe Kit
The unit is very easy to setup, just follow the step by step instructions.
It's been in use for 2 months now and has worked flawlessly.
I am very sastified with this kit.
I did not purchase the SC-1000 because I am in a rural area and didn't really need an Auto-
Dialer.
I couldn't be happier with all the Skylink products and Amazon as well. -- Skylink SC-100 Security ?Alarm system
I'm a single female and wanted a security system when I moved into my new apartment. I didn't want to pay for monthly monitoring so I bought this system with 2 extra keypads, 2 vibration sensors and an extra siren. Set up was easy and I had no trouble at all. I'm still running the same batteries that came with the unit and it's been 8 months. Sirens are loud and I feel will definitely run a thief off.
I set the main control panel and extra siren as high as I could near the ceiling and use the extra keypads to arm/disarm. Intruders may be able to unplug the sirens but with battery backup they will still sound and they would have to find a ladder to jerk them off the wall. I did not use the tape that came with the system. I live in an old historic building and did not want to make holes in the wood window and door trim, so I bought heavy duty velcro tape at Lowe's. Works like a charm. So when/if I get ready to move all I have to do is remove my system and take with.
I recommend reading the book entirely and maybe doing so a couple times and getting it all set out on the table before starting. Plan your zones before you start. -- Great System
I bought the product mainly to alert me if someone enters my house.
Pros.
-Easy to setup
-Has 5 programming settings, can set up 4 zones.
For instance if zone 1 is for the front door and zone 2 is for the motion sensors, you can set one program to beep if zone 1 is activated and alarm if zone 2 is activated. Each zone can have multiple sensors.
-Loud alarm
-Motion sensor pretty reliable. No false detects yet.
Cons.
-Can be pretty easily defeated if you knew what you were dealing with. Cleaver setup of the control unit can help mitigate this.
-Remote can only turn on programs 1 and 2.
-Batteries in door and window sensors are special type of battery. Not your regular AAs or 9V.
-Wish there were some type of low battery alert on the sensors. I think the console has this, but not sure that the sensors do.
-Some key combos are kind of strange. Can probably be implemented better. i.e. Turning on program 1 is like code BC, program 2 is like code A. Why isn't it just A, B, C, D, and E.
Other notes. I saw that some people did not want to permanently attach the sensors by screwing them in. I didn't either. I didn't try the included double sided tape that was suppose to help you mount the sensor (and not for permanent use) because other people said it was not strong enough, but I did go to the hardware store and bought the heavy duty double sided tape (in the paint section) and that thing has not even sagged for over a month. I think it's suppose to be able to hold a few pounds, and the sensors are definitely not that much. The tape may pull of some paint, but fixing that is better than fixing holes. -- Great basic home security system.
Well...I had quite a year last year with 2 break-ins. It's a terrible feeling and unfortunately break-ins are at their all-time high in my city, with no end in sight. Anyway, I researched and called several big-name security system companies, such as broadview, adt, etc. They were all around the same price and installation was as high as $300+ at one of the companies. Then after the installation cost, you have the monthly fees, which didn't make sense for what they were offering (which wasn't much). After my 2nd break-in, I really wanted to do something to provide a safer atmosphere or at least a little piece of mind. I came across a DIY security system completely by accident while I was searching for another product. I didn't even realize that was an option! So after researching some, I came across skylink and decided to go with this product because of all the great reviews(I read just about every review). This product had the best reviews on amazon out of all of the other DIY systems and it was very affordable.
I ordered the product about 2 weeks ago. Installation was surprisingly very simple. I had no problems installing or programming the system myself. I also purchased a keypad for extra convenience. That was also very simple to program. I am very satisfied with this system. The alarm is very loud when activated. The motion sensors work great and everything does what its supposed to do. I gave the skylink system 4 stars because IMO the dialer is needed. So my suggestion to others would be to go for the SC-1000, where you get more "bang for your buck". In the future, I will be purchasing about 1 or 2 more motion sensors and the dialer. So I'm paying more money than if I would have just gotten the SC-1000. But anyway, great product and I highly recommend this sense it does the EXACT same thing those other security companies do!
-- Great product, great price!
