Wireless Alarms
Good wireless receivers and detectors perform relatively reliably. However, several installation companies offer discounted systems with unreliable wireless equipment.
What are the advantages of wireless security equipment?
A wireless security system can be installed in much less time. The consensus among quality installation companies is that wireless equipment has its place, but only with quality brands and only when it doesn’t make sense to hardwire.
What are the disadvantages of wireless security equipment?
Bad wireless security equipment can cause countless headaches, including false alarms. Also, the dysfunctional equipment is can rack up service charges with your alarm company. Another consideration is that wireless equipment has distance and spatial limitations, so your security company must be very experienced in installing wireless alarm products.
Wired or Wireless Security Equipment?
Wireless Security technology has become a blessing or a curse depending on which security installation company you are talking to. Good wireless receivers and detectors perform relatively reliably. However, several installation companies offer discounted systems with unreliable wireless equipment. Many security installers still rely heavily on wired security systems because of the reliability, and many government or high security commercial projects require systems to be hard-wired.
