Another common dilemma in installing an alarm is choosing the type of system, wired or wireless. Both types of systems have advantages and disadvantages:

A wireless alarm is easier to install and will allow wider system control, but at a higher price than a wired alarm.

A wired alarm, as it is called, is a system that requires internal wiring in the house’s walls. Therefore, in many cases where there is no suitable infrastructure for transmitting cables in the walls, we would prefer to give up preparing the infrastructure and install a wireless alarm.

The alarm system guards the house and gives its occupants a vital sense of security.

To make it work optimally for you, it is best to choose a quality system that will work for you and work 100% of the time smoothly. But how do you know which alarm system will work for you?

What should you choose, what should you install, and why should you pay attention?

So that you do not lose your temper and pay an excessive amount for a system that will torment you in the future, we are happy to focus here on what is important to know – about alarms, safety, and customization.

The main divisions between the different types of alarm systems are wired alarm systems and wireless alarm systems.

What are the differences?

What’s the matter? Think about the difference between the landline phone you once had at home (that old one with the wire…) and your sophisticated cell phone.

The difference between a wired and a wireless system is as follows: a wired alarm system operates based on wired connections to walls and electricity; a wireless system operates through a network of sensors communicating reliably, much like your mobile phone. The alarm components, such as sensors, horns, and controls, are connected to an internal wireless network. No wires, no electrical outlets.

So which is better for me?

This is where the real dilemma begins… Since each type of system has advantages and disadvantages, it is difficult to recommend one type or another with certainty. So instead of making an opinion, let’s get to know the different aspects of each system:

A wired alarm system is very reliable. The wires get inside the walls, are hard to damage, and will operate completely safely throughout the system’s life. As it is wired, you will never have to replace batteries, which sounds perfect. However, there is a big “but” here: a wired alarm system requires installation during the construction or renovation of the house because moving the lines involves penetrating the walls. Alternatively, external wiring, which is less safe and aesthetic, can be used but is commonly utilized in institutional buildings. The cost of the system is cheap, but the installation cost will be expensive. In short, a wired system will be perfect for you if you are building or renovating. If not, you may prefer to skip and go for a wireless system.

A wireless alarm system is again like your mobile: dependent on an external network. This means that if a network failure occurs, the system will stop working, and if there is no reception or the signal is slow, the system’s performance will decrease.

What to do? Please buy a quality system that will flow without problems and enjoy extremely aesthetic parts that are easy to install with a reliable signal. Here the system is expensive, while the installation is very cheap. One can install a wireless alarm system anywhere, regardless of the characteristics of the home. As a result, it is very useful for those who live in a built or rented home.
