Wireless Home Security System - Is it the Best Home Alarm System?
There are two major types of home burglar alarm system. The first is the traditional hard wired home alarm which has wire connections to all sensors and keypads. The second type is the wireless home security system which uses wireless transmission of data from sensors to the alarm. There is much discussion as to which of these is the best home alarm system. Each has its own proponents but we feel that the latest wireless systems have many advantages and we believe this to be the best choice for most homeowners and offices.
The hard wired traditional home alarm requires all the sensors from doors and windows to be connected to the central control panel by cables. The installation of a hard wired system necessitates cutting into walls and removal of skirting and floor boards in order to run the cables. This obviously entails a lot of work and repairs to walls after the installation. The net result is high cost and much disturbance of the home environment. In contrast to this a wireless home security system can be installed in an hour or two of easy work even by an amateur, do it yourself, installer.
There is really little need to hire a professional installer for this work because all it entails is setting up the sensors where you want them, and mounting the central receiver in a suitable spot. You then need to test all the sensor signals, to make sure they are working, and the job is essentially done. If you feel better about having a professional do the work of course then that is the way you should go. You will have peace of mind knowing that the job has been done properly and because of the ease of installation, of a wireless home security system, the actual installation costs should be quite reasonable.
Performance of either the hard wired home alarm system or the wireless security system is equal in all respects. There is however an advantage to the wireless alarm system in that it is battery powered. This means that an intruder cannot put it out of action by cutting wires. Should the phone line be cut the wireless home security system can respond by cellphone technology to the authorities. Cutting the phone line outside or inside the house will not deactivate the system.
Taking all these things into consideration it is fairly obvious that a wireless home security alarm system has many advantages over a hard wired system.
