Wireless Burglar Alarms Are Best

While most people who have the budget to match still choose traditional wired burglar alarms, their new generation wireless counterparts are fast becoming the top choice for homeowners.

 

The following guide will explore exactly why wireless burglar alarms are the perfect security solution for both rented and owned properties.

 

Flexibility

 

It can be very tricky to tackle the messy wiring of a traditional burglar alarm – sometimes walls have to be drilled through and the wiring secured so that it doesn’t get in the way. With wireless burglar alarms, all of this fuss is made redundant. The only logistics you will need to worry about is making sure the central control panel can be plugged into a power source and the sensors are placed within an acceptable distance to it (they generally have a range of up to 30 metres which will cover the needs of most homes). Finally, if the system has a telephone alert function, the control box will also need to be close to a phone socket.

 

The other great benefit of opting for wireless security is that if you move you can take the system with you. This is a perfect solution for tenants who don’t own a property but who also want to enjoy the peace of mind that a burglar alarm offers.

 

Coverage

 

Traditional wired alarms have constraints as to where you can put the detectors. If you live in a traditional building with very thick walls or want to protect an outdoor building for example, getting a wire to the sensor can be highly troublesome. Wireless burglar alarms bypass this problem – you can place a sensor wherever you want providing it is in range of the control keypad. Even if this poses any problems, you can also buy an intermediate box that will extend the signal so that the detector can be located further away. Less limitations on where you can put detectors means better coverage for all the areas of your home.

 

Outpacing Burglars

 

The sad fact is that as security systems advance, so do the skills of burglars in bypassing them. This is particularly true of wired alarms, which can be easy detected and then disabled by criminals – it only takes cutting a few electrical wires. A wireless security system is not only harder for potential intruders to detect, but also much less easy to take out of action. Chances are that if a burglar has the tech skills to hack into your wireless system, they have better things to do that commit burglaries – that is unless you have an original Picasso hanging in your lounge! All in all, the important point is to make a burglar’s job as hard as possible, and the wireless option does this best.

 

Easy Expansion

 

With wireless burglar alarms, you can easily add extra sensors and detectors to extend your home security coverage, without having to call in a professional to tackle electrical wiring issues. As the technology advances, you will also be able to enhance your system with a range of enhanced detection features. Currently, you can choose to add broken glass sensors, shock and vibration sensors, plus emergency detectors for carbon monoxide, flooding and fire.

 

Conclusion

 

Wireless burglar alarms are the perfect solution for home security – fuss-free, flexible and highly affordable, they quite simply remove any reason for not protecting your property.
