The Skylink SC-1000 Complete Wireless Security Alarm System kit is a comprehensive DIY wireless security system that is easy to install and ready to use. It is designed for a medium-sized house but can be expanded for businesses, offices, 24-hour stores, retail operations and more. Featuring rolling-code technology, this all-in-one system, offers a 100-foot operating range and requires no monitoring services or fees. The rolling code (or hopping code) is used in entry system that does not require a security code or key, eliminating the eavesdropper from capturing and using it to break in. This technology recognizes radio waves only from its remote sensor (door/window sensor, motion sensor and key chain transmitter) there by avoiding tampering of the system.
Offering simple and straightforward operation, the SC-1000 features a lighted keypad that is easy to read in dark and offers Chime, Instant, and Delay modes. It runs on AC power with nine-volt alkaline battery backup (battery included), and provides a helpful low-battery indicator to prevent a loss of power. It works in conjunction with up to 30 Skylink security accessories including Dial Alert, Alarm Detector Sensor and Flood Sensor; this system can be customized to suit any needs and can be expanded to accommodate larger spaces that require higher protection. If any sensor is triggered when the system is armed, the included 110dB siren will make a piercing sound and immediately send a wireless signal to the system’s dialer. In case of emergency the system’s dialer will automatically dial the 9 pre-programed numbers (landline required) and play the pre-recorded message of 40 seconds to inform the recipient. The emergency dialer AD-105 is the personal monitoring center without any monthly charges.
However, some reviewers faced some installation and incompatibility issues with new devices. Also some new orders arrived with no installation or mounting hardware to setup. Some reviewers complained about false alarms and suggested that adding an option to remotely turn off the false alarm via software would be an added advantage.
Overall, the Skylink SC-1000 utilizes innovative technology with trouble-free wireless connections to provide security, making it a great choice for protecting against intruders and safeguarding in case of an accident, fire, flood or other emergency. This is a highly recommended device with unbeatable price for its quality features.
