Tools and Hardware Reviews of Skylink SC-10 Security System Basic Kit
Customer Review: System is good, add a motion detector to make it great
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased the Skylink SC-10 system along with the Skylink SC-100 system. It made sense to purchase both of these systems because, together, they had everything that I needed - a keypad, an audio alarm, four door/window sensors, a motion detector, and three handheld transmitters for easy arm/disarm action.
My one knock on the SC-10 system is this - I think that at least one motion detector is important. There is a possibility that someone breaking in may not open the door/window that they break through. They could easily break through a window pane and climb through rather than break the window and reach through to open the window. They may go this route, ESPECIALLY if they suspect/know you have an alarm system. Then the motion detector is your only line of defense.
As for the product... I was a little worried that configuring the two systems into one would be difficult. No problem! The instructions were very straight-forward, and I had the two systems intermingled within 15 minutes of reprogramming (this word makes it sound daunting, but don't sweat it).
Installation is also very easy. I am glad that they include both screws for mounting, as well as double-sided adhesive. Two of the doors that I installed sensors on are metal, and I didn't want to screw into them, so I used the adhesive. Works great.
I am extremely happy with my purchase. For $150 total, I have a very complete sense of protection. If someone breaks in, I will have time to get the last but not least important part of the system ready - my twelve gauge shotgun. My wife will be calling the police. And more than likely, the clown who broke in will be making a run for it as soon as the alarm goes off anyway and not making it up the stairs to our living quarters.
Please note, I have only had the system installed and running for two days, so this review is based upon my initial reaction and limited use of the product.
If you are looking for a cheap yet reliable means of protecting yourself and your family, I would highly recommend the Skylink alarm systems. If you're considering the SC-10 system in particular, I would highly recommend that you add another system like the SC-100, which includes a motion detector, or just a single motion detector in order to offer a second layer of protection beyond the door/window sensors.
