Wireless Home Security Systems - Pros & Cons (Part 1 of 2)

The main thing to remember about a wireless home security system is that its biggest advantage is also its greatest weakness - there are no wires.

On the one hand, this means that you can place your control panel and one or all of the sensors, cameras, keyboards and anywhere you want. This also means that it is very easy for an intruder to disable the system ... and there is a greater likelihood of false alarms.

Security System

Let us first take a brief look at the science

Wireless HomeSecurity system does not use cables for the unit to a door or window or hit a switch device to connect to the system. In a wireless system, the devices send radio signals to a receiver control unit, which processes this signal.

The advantages of wireless

A wireless home security system is usually easier to install. You can set the device where you want - you have a high degree of flexibility. In addition, there is no work in stringing wires spent.Finally, if you already have a wired system, you can also have a wireless receiver at any time, providing double protection.

Disadvantages of Wireless

A wireless home security system is not always so reliable. Copper wires are always reliable when a signal from point A to point B. For example, if a thief cuts the wires to a door or window sensor, which is usually enough to trigger the alarm. The same situation does not necessarily applywith wireless systems. For example, if a wireless transmitter is knocked out of service, you can never know that something is wrong.

Be aware that a wireless system is more expensive than a hard-wired. This is because each device has a radio transmitter built into it or so that it converts the signal to the panel.

Because of these additional costs, some consumers tend to shortcuts to save costs. Do not do it. If nothing else, give more money toreceive the highest quality radio channels.

After all, you know what it means when you buy a cordless phone on the cheap. Save money, but you get a little 'problems in exchange for noise, static, dropped calls, and you could also answer calls to your neighbor - and vice versa.

The same things apply to wireless alarm systems. With more money you get better quality and reliability. The high-end wireless devices is very reliable, and so should youwilling to spend a bit 'of money more to be sure of reliability. Finally, need a lot of false alarms?
