WIRED OR WIRELESS SYSTEM?

Functionality and the operation of wired and wireless alarm systems are similar. Only the installation is different. Provided your house is already prewired for an alarm, wired alarm systems tend to be less expensive than wireless systems. However, this may not hold true if your home requires wiring.

ADVANTAGES OF A WIRED ALARM

  1. More affordable components
  2. Low maintenance costs (batteries do not need to be replaced thanks to permanent power supply)

ADVANTAGES OF A WIRELESS SYSTEM

  1. Cost-effective installation for unwired developments
  2. Wireless transmission for use at inaccessible locations
  3. Greater point ID capabilities (reference points to activated zones)
  4. No wiring faults (cable faults)
  5. Aesthetically, no visual cables or trunking required
  6. Easy to take with you if you move
