Review of the Skylink SC-100 Security System Deluxe Kit

If you have been a victim of a home break in, then you know all too well what a horrible impact it can have on you and the rest of your family. Unfortunately, some people think that a home invasion will not happen to them until it's too late. Many people want an added level of security to their home but simply cannot afford some of the offerings available by most home security companies. In my quest for peace of mind with regard to home protection, I stumbled upon this low cost alternative which is the Skylink SC-100 Security System Deluxe Kit.

What this system provides is a cheaper alternative to some of the big name security systems currently on the market. The system is fully upgradable and can be fully tailored to your home security needs one accessory at a time. The included two door sensors, alarm siren, control panel, keychain remote and motion sensor will effectively protect any small to medium sized home.

This particular kit is a great solution for the do it yourself crowd as most all of the accessories you can purchase for the Skylink SC-100 Security System Deluxe Kit work wirelessly. This means easy installation and reliable operation.

The keypad base is very user friendly and I have noticed that the advertised claim of 100 ft range is indeed accurate by my account. Of course the actual range will differ depending on the home; I believe this particular product would work well with all medium sized homes with less than 2000 square feet in total living area.

What makes this system different than most others is the lack of a monthly service bill commonly associated with higher end systems. You can, however, purchase the Dial Alert add-on accessory in order to contact the authorities automatically whenever the system detects an intruder.

After installing the Skylink SC-100 Security System Deluxe Kit, I decided to test the alarms effectiveness. The alarm siren let off a very loud tone that would scare most intruders away without a problem. At 100 decibels of power, your neighbors will be alerted as well that there may be a problem!

So far, the system works flawlessly and the handy keychain control makes entering and exiting your home just as easily as any vehicle alarm system. What's even more amazing to me is that the Skylink SC-100 Security System Deluxe Kit operates off of one 9-volt battery! The low battery detection system will alert you when it's time to put a fresh battery in easing my fears of the system failing due to a lack of power.

I highly recommend the Skylink SC-100 Security System Deluxe Kit for anyone that wants an affordable home security system. The expandability of the system is unparalleled to any do it yourself kits I have seen on the market thus far and the low cost and quality cannot be matched.
