SK-200 SkylinkNet Connected Wireless Alarm System, Security & Home Automation System, iOS iPhone Android Smartphone Compatible with No Monthly Fees.

This is an amazing alarm system. I bought 2 systems initially as monitoring devices for my in-law's house and my own. After setting both up, it was amazing how easy it is to use, and what a great deal this system is. I ended up buying 2 more units, total 4 units in all, for friends and family, and they all love it!! The system is very simple to set up, requires virtually no technical knowledge or skills. The instructions are super easy and clear. PROS: 1. Cheap! No monthly monitoring costs! ADT and others are ripping you off for something this product offers at a fraction of the cost. 2. Easy to use, instant alerts on your smartphone 3. Great range - I set one up on a 2 story house and the sensors all had no problem communicating with the hub. 4. Flexible - you can set the sensors to alarm only when armed away, home, or any time. You can turn on / turn off sensors anywhere in the world. 5. Cheap!! Did I mention that already? 6. Reliable. No false alarms, the sensors work every single time. Amazing!! 7. Instant alerts - no matter where you are, you get alerted to activity at home. That's great peace of mind, especially if you have school age kids who come home early! CONS: 1. Only comes with 2 door sensors and 1 motion sensor. Would really like 3 door sensors (front, garage, back door)... so I end up putting 1 on front door, one on garage door, and a motion sensor that covers the back door. 2. Proprietary software / (free) service - if Skylink ever goes belly up, then this system will be as worthless as a door knob. Wish it was open source and you could use any server to get alerts. However since these are so cheap, it's not much risk. You'd be paying ADT 3-4 months the cost of the units. 3. App issues - I noticed one time I couldn't log into the app to arm / disarm for about 1 hour. Not sure if the servers were down for maintenance or what. I continued to get alerts though. So I just used the alarm remote to arm / disarm the system, no big deal. 4. Android app is not as robust as iOS app...may have issues with current Android app to log in... Overall, I love these alarms. Even though I already have an existing alarm system, I love having this unit as a "back up" to alert me of activities at home. My existing alarm system only calls the police and not me immediately, so I'm not always clued in immediately on alarm events. If you care about convenience, safety, and cost, this alarm system is one of the best to get! Highly recommended.

REVISED: Additional CONS A decade and a half ago, to work from home, I had to prove our house had a security system. I did not want something that required a subscription and I found the SkyLink SC-100 basic system. It worked well for our small home, and gave us the peace of mind that, should someone try and break in, we would know about it. Over the years, we more or less maxed out the system. This year, we are in the process of renovating our home; adding a garage, etc., and decided it was time to upgrade the home security system. Enter the SkyLink SK-200!! Wow! Nice, small form factor on the alarm unit. I got it unboxed and set up in no time, replacing the older SC-100 sensors with the new ones. PRO: Works EXCEPTIONALLY WELL through the Android and iOS app! You set up an account through the app and then use the app to set up the hub. PRO: Uses AAA and AA batteries in the sensors. No more special A23 batteries! PRO: Set up the app on all our mobile devices - they all register the sensor activity. PRO: Though the alarm is loud, the mobile apps also tell you when an event has happened with push notifications and banners, and more importantly - WHERE! Which sensor has been fired off! LOVE THIS!! No longer do I have to race to the keypad to see which LED zone light is lit. PRO: Can set the alarm from anywhere in the house; do not need to activate it from the keypad. PRO: The alarm is LOUD, and all the mobile devices with the app running indicate there is something going on and at what sensor. CON: The iOS app is buggy and would not allow me to define the wireless hub (needed for the rest of the mobile devices to connect). I had used an old iPhone to set it up initially, and could not get more than blank alerts on the other devices. I decided to try it again; reset the hub and deleted the app off the iPhone and then install the app on my Android mobile. WORKED GREAT! Through the Android app I was able to define the wireless hub and set that password that all the other mobile systems were then able to use. Now all our devices in the house (iPhones and tablets) can see the SkyLink hub and sensors. CON: About once a month, the hub goes offline. You can tell because the indicator icon on the app turns red. I have to unplug it and using a pin, press the reset button on the bottom of the unit. Drove me CRAZY because it kept telling me that one of our sensors was open (it wasn't). At 1AM when you want to go to bed, it was not fun having to debug this thing. CON: I really wish there was a more comprehensive owner manual other than the set-up cheat sheet. There is a ton more functionality that I may or may not get around to using, but it's nice to know that it's there if and when the time comes. I did not rate tech support because I have not needed to contact them, but other folks reviewing this product said they were great to work with.

Le kit de démarrage SkylinkNet, permet de surveiller ma maison à partir de mon cellulaire. C'est un moyen très abordable d'entrer dans l'engouement de la domotique. J’ai ajouté la caméra, un détecteur de fuites d'eau avec le périphérique. Le kit est facile à installer et l'application est facile à utiliser. Le kit de base est livré avec deux capteurs de porte / fenêtre, un détecteur de mouvement, une télécommande porte-clés et un hub Internet. La télécommande porte-clé de 2,2 pouces contient quatre boutons pour armer le système pendant que vous êtes absent, armer le système à la maison, désarmer le système et déclencher la sirène de panique intégrée. Dans les paramètres, vous pouvez également configurer des notifications et activer un le carillon lorsqu'un capteur est déclenché. SkylinkNet me permet de surveiller ma maison à partir de mon cellulaire sans à avoir de frais d'abonnement mensuel. Fonctionne très bien. Excellent produit ! Très efficace ... Merci SkylinkNet !

I received my system about 2 weeks ago. The set up is very easy and the system works properly except a false movement alarm when we were about 250 km away. We came back more early than expected to investiigate the problem but did not find any problem. The Enent log could be more explicit. When the system is armed, only the first event is sent to the cell phone and it is not written to the Event log. It would be very usefull that all events be sent to the log to confirm that the one we received on the cell phone was not a false alarm. Two or three events (movements in different rooms, door opened, etc.) would indicate a real intrusion in the house. Ray.

Se supone que este kit debe funcionar con Alexa e incluso en USA el skill si esta disponible, pero por algún motivo que no comprendo no funciona en México el skill con Alexa. Fuera de eso la verdad es que me ha gustado y cumple la función, he comprado varios sensores y todos funcionan correctamente.

The wife and I were looking for a well priced alarm system without having to pay a monthly fee. We stumbled upon this product and took a chance (lower rating than what we were hoping for). Product showed up in less than a week. Great packaging and quality. The step by step guide that came with it is absolutely perfect and simple. I hooked up and installed 5 sensors (bought 3 extra). The tape that holds the product to surfaces is 3M brand quality. The app did free on me once or twice in the 30 minutes of use, but overall not a big concern. Would recommendmend to everyone. Pros Easy to setup Inexpensive App works good enough Cons Starter kit a little bare on the amount of sensors included Has to be plugged into router (downstairs in my house) Extra sensors quite pricey I will definitely be checking out the other products once I feel I got full value out of the current system. The extra hardware is a bit pricey considering the price of this introductory kit.

Me parece una buena opcion para no estar pagando mensualmente algun servicio. Facil de instalar y usar. Mi esposa se siente mas segura. En mi caso tuve que comprar un nobreak para mantener el modem de internet activo, sin embargo, si se va la luz la alarma sigue funcionando aunque no me lo notifique en la app gracias a las baterias
