5.0 out of 5 stars Ridiculous Cool and Easy, June 24, 2010

I called Brinks new home security company, BroadView. They told me for $100 they would install 2 door sensors and 2 window sensors. Any additional sensors would be $75 a piece. Additionally I would pay $40 a month for their service and sign a 3 year contract. Thats $1500!!! If the system broke or messed up I would have to pay a BroadView tech to come out and fix it. WTF? Ok, so their commercials are great. I called ADT. I mean they have to be better, right? NO! Same deal.

You can't put a price on your families safety but are those companies services that great? If a sensor is triggered, they call your house. No sh*& sherlock! Thats going to help me out a lot! I could have called 911 on my own, and that's a free call.

Ok, the SKYLINK is Awesome. It was terribly simple to set up and install. I didn't use the switchboard that calls your phone since I don't use a land line. Each item came with everything I needed to install it. I tricked out my entire house with a sensor on each window and door. At night I just hit my keyring and hear the beeb when it arms. I set the sensor up in the hallway, but had to take it down because the dog kept triggering it and sending me flying around the house with a loaded gun. Other than that, there have been no false alarms. The alarm is LOUD. My eardrums pulse and head throbs even from the other side of the house. It is ridiculous loud. There is no way and intruder will continue to rob your house with that thing going off. The alarm is run buy a battery so it can be ripped off the wall or the power can be cut, and it will continue to work. I couldn't really hear it outside the house but inside.... You can buy and additional alarm to put outside but your neighbors will hate you for testing it or accidentally tripping on your way out the window.

I have zero regrets about purchasing Skylink and highly recommend it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Needs better instructions, February 25, 2009

I bought this to be used with the SC-1000 alarm system I purchased at the same time. (See my comprehensive review of the SC-1000.) There was nothing in the instructions about how to use this as just an external siren. I had to download the AA-433 instructions from Skylink's website. Finally got it working. Very loud!

5.0 out of 5 stars Combined SC-10 with SC-1000, February 14, 2010

I did as another reviewer suggested and purchased the SC-10 in combination with the SC-1000, primarily for the same reasons, to receive another key transmitter, extra door/window sensor and external alarm.

Once configured the system has worked flawlessly. I would recommend this to anyone looking for an inexpensive way to secure their property. The only drawback as was also described by someone else is the larger pieces that are installed on your door/window.
