I wanted a low cost and simple to install program to alert me if my young daughter somehow managed to get out of the house though I was napping. We have physical security (with locks) but I just wanted an added layer of protection.
This technique met my needs perfectly. I skipped the screws and double sided tape as this method will be replaced by some thing even more sophisticated in a year. I employed hot-melt glue to attach the door sensors. I uncover hot-melt glue less difficult to take away than double sided tape.
Thanks to the beep generated by the alarm box, I can quickly test the sensors by opening a door when the program is not armed. So far, it has been 100% dependable in my two story, 3200 square foot house.
I have observed complaints about unreliable operation from other consumers. As with any wireless program, your knowledge might possibly vary. Any person who lives near a radio or Tv transmitter or under power lines may very well get the wireless connections unreliable.
The key improvement I will make is to switch over to the embedded magnet sensors that my builder place into the doors and windows. The SC-10W program would operate just fine with that. The main thing lacking which will cause me to switch is the lack of a dialer that can send an alarm by wireless phone or supervised link.
Most undesirable guys really should be intelligent sufficient to cut your phone line.
Yet another wish list item is to use a rechargeable battery in the alarm unit. According to the manual, the alarm unit's battery requirements to be replaced even although the unit is powered externally.
Lastly, it would be excellent if Skylink's safety and automation systems were integrated. Visualize you could define operating modes for your technique.
In "evening at house mode", motion detectors would control lighting and door sensors are disarmed.
In "sleeping mode", motion detectors would be disabled (not armed, someone may well want water or to use the bathroom) and door sensors would be armed.
In "weekend at home mode", both motion detectors and door sensors would be disarmed.
In "out shopping or traveling mode", each motion detectors and door sensors would be armed and the dialer would be enabled.
In "party mode", outdoor lights would be turned on at sunset and private locations of the home would be alarmed.

We purchased this program to pair the door sensors, remotes and the siren with an SC-100 program. The directions to pair these pieces are not provided in the manual that came out of the box, but it is uncomplicated to download them from Skylink web-site for every person piece. (I initial made the siren unpaired from the other four pieces it came with.) Overall the setup was very smooth.
The siren beeps when I disarm the key unit, but it does not beep when I arm it. This is about the only complaint I have with it. The siren is really loud once the alarm is tripped. You will wish you did not keep the remotes next to the siren if you trigger it by mistake. :)
