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.

What's in the Box
Alarm with control panel (SC-001); one motion sensor (PS-434A); two door/window sensors (WT-433); one keychain transmitter (4B-434); one emergency dialer (AD-433S); two adapters; three nine-volt alkaline batteries; three 12-volt alkaline batteries; phone line; instruction manual; and warranty card.




This kit includes everything you need to guard a medium-sized home. Add up to 30 Skylink accessories for full, customized protection of larger spaces.

3 out of 5 stars mixed opinions   July 17, 2010
tamra
I bought this unit about 1 year ago for my business. It was a 1000 square foot space. I initially tried to locate the base unit at the front of the business but the rear door alarm sensor wouldn't reach that far. I settled on placing the base unit mid-way between front and back door sensors. The base unit seems to work reasonably well. I never could get the dialer to work properly for an extended period. The design of the system requires the user to program all of the sensors to both the base unit AND ALSO program each separate sensor for the dialer (very redundant in my opinion). If I remember correctly, you have about 15 or 20 seconds after pressing the correct sequence on the base unit for which to activate the sensor (to program the base unit sensors) -- you have to run pretty fast. In order to program the sensors to the dialer (as I mentioned, this seems really redundant), you have only about 5 seconds after pressing the correct sequence on the dialer in order to RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN to the door, window or motion sensor and hit the activate button on the sensor. After this ridiculously hurried sprint, there is nothing that lets you know the particular sensor was programmed into the dialer. I found myself running sprint after sprint, hoping to get the dialer programmed. The dialer would, confusingly, lose the connections with the sensors and lose its stored dialer numbers about once every week or so, and I found myself reprogramming the system about once per week. I finally gave up on the sprint races and decided to just stick with the sensors and base unit, which work OK. I did try calling the tech support number on the back of the manual about the problems with the dialer -- someone answered "hello" and it sounded like I woke him up. Mr "hello" wasn't too helpful. My recommendations for Skylink: 1. Increase the range of the sensors 2. Give a tone or voice prompt to the base unit and dialer notifying when a new sensor has been detected and properly programmed (something like - "door sensor programmed to zone 1" or "motion sensor programmed to zone 2" might work or at least a "beep" sound). 3. Give more than 5 FREAKING SECONDS for someone to sprint from the dialer to the door sensor or motion detector and to press the activate button. 4. Quit making everyone program the sensors twice (base unit and then dialer). 5. Answer the phone professionally, you might consider something like "Skylink Alarm Systems, can I help you."

Great System, but note that only one of the control panel can be used to arm/disarm the system, the other is strictly for programming and auto dialing. it was fairly easy to install as well.

The SC-1000 is a nice alarm for the money. I have been using it for 3 weeks. Easy to set and so far no false alarms. I read the directions twice before installation. Pretty straight forward if you read them. I ordered both the SC-1000 and the SC-10 because I wanted two more remotes (which work great by the way) and two more sensors. That was the cheapest way. The SC-10 remotes and sensors had to be programmed to the SC-1000 panel. If you read the directions, it's easy enough. I put the dialer upstairs in a bedroom near an AC outlet and phone jack and set it to silent. The SC-1000 control panel, which has the siren in it, is in a corner and can't be seen. It's very loud. If you have a remote, the panel can go just about anywhere. I have turned it on and off from outside the house. I emailed support with a minor question and they responded within a few hours. I highly recommend this product. A good value in my opinion.

2 out of 5 stars Horribly outdated :(   July 3, 2010

This system is horribly outdated. When you look closely at the system you can tell that it was produced many years ago by its bulky and minimal design. The motion sensors work as promised. The window sensors are very difficult to install on doors, where they would be most useful. In order to get them to align door frame modification is usually necessary. The codes and even remote control are complicated. You basically have to have the manual in front of you in order to remember how to code the settings. The Dial-Alert suffers the most from the outdated product... could not get it to function correctly. A friend who knows alarm systems said that it probably could not complete the calls because I have DSL internet on the line and would have to purchase a second line for the Dial-Alert system. No thanks. The recording on the Dial Alert sounds horrible, its quiet, scratchy, and has heavy static. This alarm purchase was taken out of my rent for my home after a recent burglary. Had this not be the situation I would have returned the system immediately. Please, if you are looking for quality protection for you home, look somewhere else!!
