Wireless Security Has Advantages

There are several reasons why a homeowner would prefer a Wireless security system over a traditional hard wired system. Please keep in mind that when the word wireless is being used that is not 100% true. Even with a wireless system there are going to be wires run for primary power and communication. The advantages of a wireless system lie in the perimeter intrusion protection devices. On a traditional hard-wired system, the security technician will have to run a wire from point A to point B on every point in the home that is being protected. All wires will terminate at one point (Master Control Center).

If your home was already built, you can imagine the challenges of this process. There are many obstacles hidden behind the drywall that can make it difficult if not impossible to connect the necessary wires. Often times, walls will suffer significant damage during the process. Sometimes pipes are broken and power cables are cut. It is not an impossible task to get the job done but it is extremely labor intensive (COSTLY) and comes with a great deal of risk. This leads into the very reason that wireless intrusion devices are far more effective in creating the proper and most effective protection for your home.

Wireless Advantages:

• More Security Coverage with Less Hardware
• More Flexibility with Strategic Positioning
• Far Less Installation Damage
• Less Costly to Install

With a wireless device there are few if any obstacles in the way of getting the device into the necessary strategic position to protect the area. The huge downside to hardwire alarm systems, similar to the types of systems Brinks installs is that they can only place the equipment where they can get the wire rather than where it is going to be most effective. Many times moving a sensor 3 or 3 feet to left or right is the difference of having to purchase an additional sensor (fee) to get the correct level of protection.

By having the versatility that wireless offers it makes designing a system not only more cost effective but will give you the type of protection you and your family deserve.
