Wireless Security Systems Vs Hard-Wired Security Systems

Wireless Security Systems Vs Hard-Wired Security Systems

Alarm systems: I began doing a little research on them recently, because I was curious about how different types of alarm systems work. There's some debate going on about which is better: a hard-wired alarm system, or a wireless alarm system.

Let me share what I found.

My family and I had a hard-wired home alarm system in our old house, which we built ourselves. We had the wires for the system installed as the walls were still going up, which was great because everything was concealed and we never had to worry about drilling holes in our walls. But when we moved to the new home we're in now and began looking for a new security system, we realized how difficult it would be to install a hard-wired security system into an already-built home. My wife wasn't happy with the idea of a bunch of ugly wires in the house, and we'd have to drill holes into our newly-painted walls.

So we started doing some research on wireless security systems. These wireless home alarm systems use the latest technology and are much more up-to-date than old hard-wired security systems. We had heard some people claim that because wireless alarm systems operate on radio frequencies, they set off false alarms more often -- but it turns out that if you have a security professional install your home system, that risk is almost completely eliminated. Most of the false alarm stories come up in cases where homeowners tried to install their own wireless alarm systems. We thought: Why install our own home security system and risk messing it up? This is going in to protect our family and give us peace of mind, after all!

So we called our local authorized dealer, and had them come take a look at our home. They told us exactly what type of alarm system equipment we needed, and also showed us the best places to install home security sensors. Our technician told us things we would never have thought about! Here's an example: had I been installing my own system, I would have put the sensors at the bottom of all the doors, where I'd think they would catch any intruders. However, our technician pointed out that home security sensors in low points can be activated just as easily by a dog, a cat, or even a kid who gets out of bed at night.

The advice and help our home security specialist gave us was definitely worth the call. He installed our system for us for only .00, and because we called our local authorized dealer, we got the whole security system for free!

So to sum up: if we had installed a hard-wired home security system, we would have had to drill holes, run wires, and deal with a lot of unnecessary maintenance. Our new wireless security system is easy to maintain and simple to use, and it was installed for free. For us, a wireless security system was definitely the best choice.
