Author: An alarm system is a very important piece of technology that will find its place in most homes. Whether you are on the road or at work you will have the peace of mind thinking that all your belongings are safe. When choosing your alarm system you will have to make a choice between wireless and wired alarm systems. In order to help you make the best possible decision I have written this short guide which will cover some of the difference between these two models.
As its name indicate wireless model does not have any wires attached and can be installed quite easily. The sensors, the alarm system and the central unit are all connected via radio waves thus limiting the use of wires to the bare minimum. On the other hand wired systems will require a lot of wires and hence a lot of holes to be made in the house. This can make the work appear quite ugly.
In fact hiding the wires and drilling holes accounts constitutes a major part of the installation time. Consequently it is suggested to use wired systems in new houses or in those that are undergoing renovation. You will not have to drill any finished walls as all the work will be integrated in the building work. For finished houses we will recommend wireless model as there is not a lot of installation work to be carried out. This French article on house alarm (choisir son alarme maison) and residential security systems carries some useful information and should be worth reading.
The installation of these two alarm systems may also differ a lot. For instance the wireless model does not require any substantial installation work and can thus be easily installed by any person that is fond of electronics. On the other hand the wired model requires quite some installation work and may require the need of qualified personnel.
Alarm systems are indeed a great investment for your own security. It will keep all valuable belongings safe and will alert you whenever there is a problem. Whether you are on holidays or even sleeping at night you will not need to worry anymore as the system will automatically warn you of any intrusion.
