Invisible force field: Wireless home alarm systems - Home - Home Security

What are wireless home alarm systems?

Wireless home alarm systems have been a good choice in home alarm systems for many reasons. Wireless alarm systems are extremely easy to install, can usually be done by the home owner, and are less intricate than hard wired alarm systems. Wireless alarm systems were previously considered inferior to hard wire systems, but in the past few years have developed tremendously.

In a wireless alarm system, sensors are placed around the home next to windows, doors, and any other form of entry. When the alarm is set, doors, windows and entrances must be closed properly. When the entrance is either open or closed, the circuit is broken, and the trigger is set off, causing the alarm sound. Some wireless alarms give you a 10 second warning before officially sounding the alarm, allowing you time to key in the code or deactivate through your cellular phone or remote entry. This feature is important because it allows the home owner to activate the alarm upon leaving the home, and gives them time to deactivate it upon reentry.

Wireless alarm set up is a lot easier than hard wired alarm systems, because they are less extensive in wiring. This reason also makes wireless alarm installation a lot less expensive than hard wired alarm systems. Wireless alarm systems are also easier to uninstall making wireless alarms an easy choice for new home owners or renters to keep their living quarters safe. Most landlords will not have a problem with allowing a wireless alarm to be set up for a tenant in their home, and more and more apartment complexes are setting up units to include wireless alarm systems in each apartment home.

The one drawback to wireless alarm systems is the possibility of radio frequency interference. Wireless home alarms are run by radio signal, and if there is other unstable radio transmission equipment in the area, the wireless alarm has the possibility of going haywire, causing false alarms, costly city fines for responding to false alarms, and headaches for the homeowner. Companies who offer wireless alarms are becoming more diligent in the past few years of blocking radio frequency interferences, so wireless home alarms are definitely becoming a better and better choice.

Wireless home alarms are a good option for renters who are looking for protection in their home or apartment without the permanence of hard wired systems, and businesses or homeowners who may not be in the same place for a long period of time. Wireless home alarm systems are a good route to choose for a Do It Yourself (DIY) plan, while still offering the major benefits of protection.
