This thing works well, but stands out like a sore thumb. It’s big, bulky, and archaic. They could have made it much more compact and streamlined, like other company’s sensors are. This has a separate old style wired magnet sensor, and the wire runs to the transmitter. So you have to mount three pieces, instead of two.

These door sensors have worked perfectly. They were very easy to install. The red light flashes when the sensor is tripped (by opening the door). Even though I haven’t needed to replace any batteries yet (2 months so far), the 12v 23A battery is very easy to replace and easy to find for less on ebay.

It’s a excelent product. Easy to install and very effective. We feel very confortable with the safety it give us in our home. We bougth the complete kit with additional five door/windows switch for overall covering of my house and I am very glad with the product.

I bought this product about a year ago now and it has been working flawlessly since then. The unit is very easy to install – follow the directions that come with it – it took me about one hour to install the three door sensors (I bought an extra one) and the one motion sensor. I usually use the remote unit to arm / disarm the unit and even after a year of use the batteries do not need replacement.

I have yet to install the telephone piece of the kit – the problem I face is that my house has multiple telephone lines and I need to locate the primary one. After a lot of procrastination, I finally decided to get a professional to do this piece of the work. If you have a simple telephone setup this should not be a problem either. I’ve tested the system randomly during this past year and it has never failed yet. I have had no false alarms of it going off when it should not and have taken long trips with at least some peace of mind. I would certainly recommend this as a very good alternative to all of those expensive alarm systems – and managed to get a 15% reduction in my insurance premium to boot!!

I bought this in addition to the Skylink SC-100 Security System Deluxe Kit. Once figured out it works great.
