Modern wireless security systems have no cumbersome wiring, which means the wires
can't be pulled out accidentally or have nails hammered through them which can
set the alarm off or disable the system. Wireless systems are more mobile and
can be positioned more flexibly within a room or anywhere on a property.
Wireless
technology is used in driveway alarms, door alarms, car alarms, wireless
motion sensors and security cameras.
The sensors used in wireless
systems can be infrared sensors, acoustic sensors or dual technology sensors.
Some wireless units can attach to lights in order to turn them on and off
at random to mimic the normal usage of people occupying the home.
Wireless
systems now account for more than 50% of security systems purchased. If
you have an older house, you may be better to choose from the many new hardwired
security systems available today. With a newer home, you may wish to stick with
a wireless system, because this is clearly the direction the whole industry
is taking. |
