Tools and Hardware Reviews of Skylink SC-1000 Complete Wireless Alarm System
Customer Review: Horribly outdated :(
Summary: 2 Stars
This system is horribly outdated. When you look closely at the system you can tell that it was produced many years ago by its bulky and minimal design. The motion sensors work as promised. The window sensors are very difficult to install on doors, where they would be most useful. In order to get them to align door frame modification is usually necessary. The codes and even remote control are complicated. You basically have to have the manual in front of you in order to remember how to code the settings. The Dial-Alert suffers the most from the outdated product... could not get it to function correctly. A friend who knows alarm systems said that it probably could not complete the calls because I have DSL internet on the line and would have to purchase a second line for the Dial-Alert system. No thanks. The recording on the Dial Alert sounds horrible, its quiet, scratchy, and has heavy static. This alarm purchase was taken out of my rent for my home after a recent burglary. Had this not be the situation I would have returned the system immediately. Please, if you are looking for quality protection for you home, look somewhere else!!Customer Review: Important!
Summary: 5 Stars
This product is very economical and works great if set up properly. "Sync" all sensors to the alarm (sc-001).DO NOT "sync" sensors to the auto-dialer. Only "sync" the alarm (sc-001) to the auto dialer. Leave the auto dialer activated at all times. With this set up, the auto dialer will only make calls if you "arm" the alarm and it is set off. The auto dialer will not respond to the remote control.
This sounds complicated but is really very easy to set up as long as you follow above. I use the system with a magic-jack. I would definitly buy again.
Customer Review: Installs fairly easily
Summary: 4 Stars
Install went smoothly (except for the wiring of a new outlet that i needed to do) seems to program fairly easily. Have it set up real basic with just the two window/door sensors installed. not using motion and currently not using phone dialer. have it in a rental unit that i own and the tenants seem to like the peace of mind and ease of use. Loud alarm.Customer Review: It does exactly what it promises to do!

I don't have no negatives towards this product. If you want a real review of this product read the specifications sheet everything it says it does is a hundred percent accurate period.Customer Review: It sort of works.

I know it. I just know it! She tailed me! She stole my new phone charger! I take revenge! I buy this security system.
Let me put you into the story. See I broke up with my girlfriend over half-a-year ago. She has stalked me, she has taken over my private and public life. I know she now that she is trailing me.
So I buy this product, ships fast, very easy to install and I forgot to read the instructions. See the main problem I had was I thought it was like x-ray infrared Modern Warfare 2 type of things. So I stashed all of the motion detectors in the closet. The instructions say to put it out in the open where it can read motion, never said anything about infrared.
I go to take it off my wall and the things obliterate right there. RIGHT THERE MY 100 DOLLARS, THE LAST 100 DOLLARS THAT MY EX GAVE ME, THE ONLY MONEY I COULD USE TO GET THE LAST LAUGH ON HER IS GONE.
Afterwords, I get really bent out of shape as she will periodically go through my new house and take stuff and there is nothing I can do. I bet she even stole the Security system, let me check...
Yep! She did. What the...
