Excellent Quality
 
Review Date: December 16, 2009
Reviewer: Carmel Beetle, Carmel, ME United States
I purchased the AAS-500 system, which appears to be the same as the 600, but with fewer sensors. The installation instructions were perfectly clear. All the door sensors came with the batteries already installed, which was nice. The motion detectors came with the (9v) batteries, and were easily installed. I got this system to replace a 1996 system from Radio Shack which had failed. A major difference with this system (in addition to the much better quality) is that the outside siren can be mounted without worrying about physically connecting it to the console.

Prior to installing sensors I read the entire instruction manual then made a list (map) of what was going to be installed, and where, and numbered each sensor per the instructions. I wrote the numbers on each sensor. I then activated each one and tested them, one by one to make sure everything worked properly. Then, I mounted each sensor per the map I had made. One of the door sensors failed to work. This is when I discovered that the magnet must be placed on the right side of the sensor containing the antenna. I removed the sensor and replaced the backing with one of the extra sensors and mounted it with the antenna pointing down. I should have tested this aspect before actually mounting it and ruining the sticky tape.

The motion detectors have a one page instruction sheet, which really does not need to be read. If you do read it, you will find it pretty choppy; very poor English.

In summary, this is an excellent product, very good quality, good instructions and a major step forward in terms of technology over the system I was previously using.
Amazing, easy and inexpensive
 
Review Date: November 22, 2009
Reviewer: Antonette O. Oduber, Aruba, but with shipping address in Miami
I purchased this product and it is above and beyond it's price! Unbelievable how inexpensive this product is and yet amazingly good! So many features and so easy to install and work with that it makes monitoring my house wonderful. I have looked around for other wireless alarm systems but none is comparable to this one. This one gives 25 door/window elements which is gr8 since I have many doors and windows. Other ones were so expensive. The only thing I would like to see is the small high pitched alarm wireless instead of wired to the control pad, but it does come with a less decibel alarm wireless.
Thank you for a GREAT product. Just don't increase the price any more because I bought this one for 250 2 months ago and raved about it to my friends but they said that the price went up.

Review Date: February 3, 2010
Reviewer: B. Walker, Gainesville, Texas
I was unsure if I could put this system in our house. It came with good directions on how to program the alarm system, but nothing to tell me what each component did and how and where to put the sensors. But not to worry, with the toll free number, the dealer was most helpful in educating me as how to do everything and make it work. The alarm works great, sometimes we forget to turn it off with the remote and it goes off when the door is opened. "Extremely LOUD". I like the way it lets you hook it up to the phone and it calls you when in alarm condition. No phone call all day, then everything is ok and secure. The sensors and motion detector even work in the storage building I have over 100 feet from the house. By numbering the sensors you know where the alarm is, as it appears on the alarm system panel. This is a good value alarm for the low price. I would recommend it to anyone.
Decent DIY Home Alarm System
 
Review Date: December 19, 2009
Reviewer: Seer, NYC, NY United States
Took a risk with this alarm system w/o knowing much of the seller and the few technical specs provided. Well after receiving and testing a while it has met my expectations...especially for the price.
Some things to note which the seller forgot to mention. It comes w/ 2 horns which is essential for any alarm system (one outdoor for your neighbors to hear and one indoor for yourself). The installation instructions are sparse and seem hand made in a personal computer but it is clear enough so I haven't needed to contact them.
Of all the 30 plus components I received, 1 of the 5 motion detectors wasn't working. I didn't contact the seller to replace it since 4 is more than enough.
Programming the unit took less than an hour. Because all the units are wireless, you will need to replace batteries on everything which will be a real pain. The instructions don't say how long they last. But its better than running wires all over the house.
All in all, its everything I expected to provide a good deterrent from your opportunistic thieves. One of the reviewers here gave it only 1 star since it isn't foolproof. Well what do you expect from a $320 system? Yes, if a thief breaks a window and the alarm sounds, he can start searching the house for the keypad and horns and disable them, but I'm guessing they'd just split instead of taking the chance of getting caught (unless you live in the boondocks where neighbors will not here the alarm). You also get a phone call from the system that the alarms went off, so you can take appropriate action. Yes a pro will be able to disable it but i bet he can disable most of the other alarm systems out there as well...
Good Product

Product Description

Featuring rolling-code technology, the Skylink SC-1000 Complete Wireless Alarm System provides maximum security and reduces the likelihood of false alarms. Suitable for homes, offices, 24-hour stores, businesses, or wherever security is a concern, this all-in-one system offers a 100-foot operating range, installs in minutes, and requires no monitoring services or fees.


The SC-1000 is a complete, easy-to-install wireless security system that requires no monthly monitoring fees. View larger.
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.
