I purchased this alarm system so that I could keep an eye on my home while I traveled to Europe for a month. I was very pleased that I could get notifications on my phone in real time from Europe and view my living room with the camera (while connected to wifi even though I had removed my sim card) . Although I didn't have the opportunity to try from Europe, the camera has the capability to allow me to speak and listen with someone. I was also able to purchase an additional door sensor which I installed on a carport door that is about 60 - 70 feet from the main unit as well as an additional motion detector with no problems. The set up and installation were fast and easy to follow. The only drawback that I have with the system is the braying cheap sounding chime tone on the main unit. I would like to have a simple beep or double beep. For the price, it was an excellent value.

    Glad for the other review
    Finally, Home Depot has solidified their return policy. Excellent Custome Service. He found it. Alright if we buy a product less than 30 days we get our money back. Less than 365 days we get a store credit. One day past one year, we keep it. This return policy is still far superior to all the other sites I visit. Thank you Home Depot.

      Second Skylink system
      I originally had the SC 100 alarm system by Skylink. It was easy to use and setup. Then I decided to replace it with an M4 Skylink system as I couldn’t get parts for the older system. The M4 system was difficult to set up and gave me a lot of trouble. Used new quality batteries and it wouldn’t allow me to arm system. Zone’s continually flashed even when no one was moving. Tried to delete all the zones and set up from the beginning. So I contacted Skylink home helpline. I left a message and heard nothing back. Sent repeated emails and again heard nothing. I’m tossing this alarm system into the recycling bin and going with a better company. That’s what I get for trying to find a low cost system. Save time and money and don’t purchase any Skylink Home Security products, this company is circling the drain.

          Easy setup and works right away.
          The camera is difficult to connect with the WiFi. Works fine when directly plugged in but not so much when trying to use wifi. Everything else is working as expected.

          Perfect for office monitoring
          I bought this system for the office for the chime since I'm alone because of Covid and work in a back office, I get notified (beep on my phone when door opens) and get to go greet the client. I also see them come in on the camera, very clear image.

          Thank for the great review. As an end user also, I can't tell you how much I rely on and thankful to have this Alarm system myself. The skylinknet has done extremely well in the marketplace and millions rely on it. I know I do. SKYLINK

          I purchased this system in May and, outside of the key chain, it's worked well. Within the last month, the front door sensor has been randomly malfunctioning and tripping itself which causes unnecessary panic on my end. At times, the system will say that the door is open when it's actually closed for no rhyme or reason. Disappointed because it provided great security initially.

            ***UPDATE**** Our app alarmed us of an intruder while my roommate and I were at work, we both (on different phones and in different locations) go to try to look at the camera to see who it is, and it WILL NOT LOAD FOR ANYTHING. I tried frantically to reload the app, refresh, tried everything since I was having a mini heart attack about who it was in our home. It never fails that it takes AT LEAST 5 minutes+ for the camera to load, if ever. Whoever entered our house, too late, we have no idea who it was because our useless camera wouldn't even do what it's there for. DO NOT USE YOUR MONEY FOR THIS 'deluxe' CAMERA SYSTEM. Alarm works okay, but the camera-absolutely useless.

              I bought this system after someone attempted to break into my home. It was easy to install myself and has added a sense of security. All features can be activated according to your needs. The camera turns a little slow, but has good clarity. So far, I haven't been able to get the keychain to work.

              Thank you for the great review. We are very proud of our alarm system. It works well for many end users. Please make sure the hub and the router are at least 1 foot apart. The keychain remote should work then. If not call us at 1-800-304-1187. SKYLINK

              We apologize for this issue but it is now corrected with the new app. Please do the following:

              • Uninstall the app the you currently have
              • Download the following:
              o For iOS version 2.4.0 from the apple store
              o For Android – the new version of the app is now at the Play Store.
              • Please try it and it should work flawlessly.
              This should solve that issue. Thank you for your patience. SKYLINK
