Skylinknet works with wireless cameras and sensors to protect your home. If an alarm occurs, a 110-decibel-loud built-in siren is heard and push notifications sent to the users' phones.
The Skylink Net Connected Home Alarm System Kit comes with everything you need to start protecting your home from intruders, including one hub, two door or window sensors and a keychain remote that allows you to arm and disarm the system. The unit has a motion detection sensor that you can place anywhere in your house. You will receive a push message on your smartphone if it detects movement.
The system isn't for everyone. But if you want a system that can easily be added to an existing wireless network, this one will do. The system has an excellent reputation, and the majority of customers are happy with it.
Getting Started
The setup process isn't as simple as it should be. The process requires you to set up your account, enter your Wi Fi password and choose your hub's settings (such whether the device will be accessible remotely or when it is due for an update). You also need to provide your name and mobile phone number. Once that's done, you can start adding sensors and other devices to the system.
It can be confusing at first. You'll need to have some familiarity with computerese in order to get the most from your system. For example, doors are not just "open" or "closed," but "activated" and "normal." To adjust the sensitivity, you must use a DIP switch that is not documented.
You can change the default settings of each device. This is useful if, for example, you need to keep track of a particular setting for the door sensor. This small feature makes the interface seem more sophisticated.
You can connect it to other devices by using IFTTT. There are a limited number of IFTTT recipes, and many of them seem out of place.
The app's interface is less polished, but it still works well to keep track of devices. A slider allows you to send an alert in case you want to make a quick call to the monitoring station.
The hub has a battery, which allows it to continue working as a local warning even if Internet connectivity is lost. Its external Dialer can connect to POTS lines, so in the case of an emergency it'll dial a previously programmed phone number. The battery backup should last 5 to 8 years.

How To
How to test home security systems
How to test a Home Security System
Installing your alarm monitoring software on your computer is the first step. The latest version should be downloaded from the manufacturer's web site. Next, you will need to setup your phone number so that anyone calling the monitoring center is routed to your line. You can contact your local service provider for assistance if you are unsure how to do it. You are now ready to test your setup!
There are two main ways to test your system. The first method is to use an empty device. This is a fake device, which appears just like the real thing. The fake device has many of the same features as the original, but it does not actually work. It works just like the real deal if it worked properly. But there are some disadvantages to using the dummy. First, it won't tell you anything about the actual functionality of your system. Second, it might look suspicious to people who see it sitting around. It might also be stolen.
Another method is to manually test your system. This is where you examine every part of your system to ensure that it functions properly. You would check, for example, whether the motion sensors are working, the cameras are recording properly, and if the door locks work. You should test each of these items at least once a week. Once you have tested everything thoroughly you can be confident that your system works well.
