Tools and Hardware Reviews of Skylink SC-1000 Complete Wireless Alarm System

Customer Review: A Happy User
Summary: 4 Stars

I've had this system for about a couple of months now. I must say I am quite happy. Here are some specific comments in no specific order.

1) False Alarms : None so far for me.

2) Dialer Settings: A lot of reviewers here seem to have had issues with different sensors speaking to the dialer directly. It can be configured such that only the base unit speaks with the dialer. The instructions are not clear. Refer to other people's helpful reviews here for instructions.

3) Installation time: It took me about 4 hours total to install the system completely (over a couple of different days).

4) Motion Sensor: I hadn't expected it earlier, but the motion sensor is the most useful sensor in my opinion. I have it set up to "monitor" 4 windows at highest sensitivity at the same time. I test it every couple of weeks, and it catches the slightest movement. And I have the sensor programmed in zone 3/4, which means the base goes off immediately (2 seconds) after a movement is detected. I turn the alarm on every night with this setting and it gives me some peace of mind.

5) Door sensors: The door sensors are just about okay at best. Certainly useless for a window.

6) Volume: The alarm volume is loud enough to discourage any potential intruders.

7) Dialer: The dialer seems like a useful thing though I haven't yet found the right people it should dial (except my own cell phone). I am too worried about false alarms in the middle of the night to bother my friends/family/neighbors. Maybe if one of my neighbors gets the same system some day ....

8) Potential Additions: Some day I might get another sensor and may be another alarm unit.

9) Overall Experience: I haven't used any other security systems before, but based on everything else that was available at the time I was researching this, I think it's a fairly useful thing to have at this price point.

10) Negatives: I am holding back one star for two reasons. Unclear instructions for dialer, and I don't know how long would this last. I have no reason to doubt it's life span, just that I haven't had it for long enough yet to say anything with confidence.

Reliable, Cutting-Edge System Uses Trouble-Free Wireless Connections
Keep your home or business safe and secure with this reliable, cutting-edge wireless security system. The 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.

Do-it-Yourself Security Eliminates the Need for Monitoring Fees
The SC-1000 is a do-it-yourself system, which means you can easily install it yourself and then use it without paying monitoring fees or registering with an alarm company. To arm or disarm, you simply enter your personal code or use the keychain transmitter.

Rolling-Code Technology for Maximum Security and Fewer False Alarms
The Skylink SC-1000 Complete Wireless Alarm System:
  • Offers fast, easy installation
  • Utilizes Advanced Rolling Code Technology
  • Automatically calls for help in the event of an emergency
  • Dials up to 9 different numbers of your choice and sends out your personal 40 second message
  • Can be customized using up to 30 Skylink accessories
  • Does not require expensive, monthly monitoring fees


Skylink is the first company to incorporate rolling-code technology into a home/business security system, which means that the SC-1000 provides maximum security while virtually eliminating the number of false alarms. A rolling code (or hopping code) is often used in entry systems that don't require a key, because it prevents an eavesdropper from capturing and using your personal security code. Thanks to rolling-code technology, the SC-1000's control panel will recognize radio waves only from its remote sensors (door/window sensor, motion sensor, and keychain transmitter), thereby preventing high-tech thieves from duplicating signals and tampering with your system.

Motion, Door, and Window Sensors for Reliable Emergency Protection
The SC-1000 comes complete with a motion sensor and two door/window sensors--enough coverage for small- to medium-sized homes. Because 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 your needs and can be expanded to accommodate larger spaces or businesses that require a higher level of protection. If any sensors are triggered when the system is armed, the included 110dB siren will make a piercing sound, and the sensor will immediately send a wireless signal to the system's dialer.

Automatically Calls for Help in an Emergency
In case of an emergency, the SC-1000 follows a straightforward process to make sure you get the help you need. When you receive the system, you can program the emergency dialer to call up to nine different phone numbers, including your cellular phone, a pager, your doctor, relatives, friends, neighbors, etc., should something trigger one of the sensors. You'll also record a personal 40-second emergency message. In case of emergency, the system's dialer will automatically dial the number or numbers you have entered. Once the recipient picks up the phone, the emergency dialer will play your prerecorded message and inform the recipient that you are in an emergency situation and that help should be sent right away.

Lighted Keypad and Low-Battery Indicator for Easy Operation
Offering simple and straightforward operation, the SC-1000 features a lighted keypad that is easy to read in dark conditions 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.
