| System will call you if any of the sensors are triggered. You can add multiple different sensors to the system like temperature and water/flood sensors. This a good product to keep an eye on your house. The alarm is very loud. Sensors works through walls and doors with no problems. |
Not so good

| I had this unit set up with two motion sensors and three water sensors. I received way too many error messages with this unit. First, the two motion sensors were in unheated areas and I would get false low battery warnings every couple of hours whenever the tempature was below 15 degrees outside. There was no way to get around this. Second, I would have to manually set off my water sensors in my basement about once every two or three weeks or the system would not think they are there anymore and give me false sensor error messages every three hours or so. I'm sure in some applications this system works great but it did not work very good at all for me. |
JUNK! ONE TO AVOID at all costs!

This is the absolute biggest waste of money I've ever made for anything electronic! To start with, I had to buy EIGHT extra door triggers at $20 each! The sensors were about the only things that programmed quite easily! Then came the real nightmare: after I programmed my own PIN, I was able to do a few programming things. But within a few steps, my PIN was no longer valid. After several attempts to re-enter my PIN, I finally had to call the place I bought it from (Home Security Store: another place to avoid!) and was walked through the steps to clear the memory and re-enter my PIN. It worked while I was on the phone! Yippee! But as soon as I hung up and tried to program a few more features, it refused to accept my PIN again! I got so frustrated that I tossed it across the room into a wall and shattered it into pieces and sent an e-mail to where I got it stating my disappointment. Their response was "that is, after all, our cheaper model" and is not as good as this or that model for more money!
NEVER got this unit to work, and would NEVER suggest even my worst enemy buys one! But if you DO, SAVE YOUR DOOR/WINDOW TRIGGERS for the next SkyLink alarm you might buy because even though the seller told me they would NOT work with the more expensive model of alarm and I would have to buy the $32 triggers, THEY DO WORK!!! And the seller refused to post this fact in my review of this alarm dialer. |
Over $250 Wasted

So, I bought the Kit, a number of additional sensors, and even the Repeater/Range Extender.
With everything sitting on a table it works. So I programmed everything and installed it. Everything seemed to work fine. Just a bit sluggish.
After 24 hours I had to reprogram ALL the sensors. After another 24 hours and nothing worked again. And so all I get now is a constant voice alert that my sensors have all failed.
And it won't let me go into programing mode anymore.
So... Since I threw out all the boxes, and installed everything with double stick tape, It's not returnable.
Stay away for this product, far away.
Needs a rating of 0, but the selection doesn't go that low.
On a technical side, I took apart one of the door sensors and it uses the same technology and frequencies as a lot of Chinese technology. IE: "eBay Strobe Triggers". You can expect a lot of interference with these.
