this company needs a new website. &nbsp;Looks like it was built in 1995 and never redone. &nbsp;However, because most of their alarm equipment is sold through a distributor most customers never visit their site before getting a Skylink security system installed in their house. &nbsp;This company out of Canada has proprietary equipment with a track record tot prove their company and equipment. &nbsp;Our concern for them is,&nbsp;<strong>can they keep up with all of the &nbsp;innovation&nbsp;<\/strong>and companies competing in the same market?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3

1500 positive reviews and is unique to Skylink. &nbsp;Because garage&#8217;s get so hot during summer the typical motion detector offered by companies won&#8217;t work. &nbsp;They are infrared and the extra heat can set off false alarms and ruin the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is a list of the features it currently offers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\"

many people will put sensors on their whole house but not the garage door. &nbsp;It only takes up to 100 lbs of pressure to manually lift a garage door for a burglar to get in. &nbsp;Oftentimes the items inside of your garage are worth more then possessions inside your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B004969FB6\/?tag=alarmreviews03-20\" target=\"_blank\"

made in China, 50 miles from Hong Kong. &nbsp;They have a distribution center in Ontario, California.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Just to be clear<\/strong> this company is not a monitoring company. &nbsp;They have DIY wireless equipment you can purchase and setup for yourself and other then that they are a distributor only. &nbsp;If you are looking for a all-in-one company <a

#3296aa;\">Our final verdict on Skylink<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>They&nbsp;will remain primarily as a distributor for home security companies. &nbsp;We like that they have items that others don&#8217;t such as&nbsp;their highly rated garage door sensor. &nbsp;You can trust this company who has been in business nearly 30 years and has patented security equipment. &nbsp;We don&#8217;t think they will be able to keep up with the times but for now you can connect to their alarm system through your smartphone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please leave any stories, opinions or questions you may have about Skylink
