One of the first decisions many people have to make when choosing to install a home alarm system is whether to opt for a wired orwireless solution.
The truth is that there is no universal answer, as every home and family is different and will therefore have unique needs and requirements that their security solution will be required to meet.
Bosch Alarms
Bosch alarm systems offer wireless detectors and wireless reed switches, perfect solution for two storey dwellings where cables to downstairs areas are very difficult, it does however require wired alarm components for the sirens and control panel.
For that reason, it's always a good idea to talk to a trained professional who knows the ins and outs of home security before making a decision.
Bosch alarm systems allow you to have a combination of both Wired and Wireless devices, making it ideal for garages or rooms where cabling would be difficult to get to.
There are however a few things that you will want to keep in mind when considering whether to opt for a wired or wireless alarm system, including the level of installation you wish to undergo, wireless alarms are cheaper to install as the labour component is lower.
Wireless alarm systems obviously require far less invasive installation procedures, as they do not call for cables to be installed through walls and in ceilings.
Ideal alarm for Renters
That makes them a particularly good option for renters who might not be authorised to make in depth renovations to their home.
The Risco fully wireless alarm system is particularly suited to renters as it can be erected with removable adhesive.
The Risco Agility alarm system is a fully wireless alarm system, which means no cables whatsoever, it connect all of its alarm components via RF transmission, even the external siren is wireless.
Another thing to consider will be whether you might be moving property in the future. Wireless alarm systems are much easier to uninstall and transport as necessary and are therefore a good option for people who may not be planning on staying in one house or apartment for long.
The flip side is that wireless alarm systems are much more dependent on battery power, which means that you will need to check them fairly regularly to ensure they are still running to specification.
The good news is that batteries in wireless alarm systems usually do not need to be changed that often - about once every six months at most - meaning it isn't something to be overly concerned about.
Both options - wireless and wired - have their own advantages and disadvantages, so make sure you think carefully about your options and make a decision that will be sure to keep your home and property safe for years to come.
- Risco Security Alarm has all devices fully Wireless
- Bosch Security Alarm has only Wireless Detectors, Reed Switches or Glass Breaks.
