Wireless Home Security Alarm
System Quick And Easy To Install
Depending on the size and style of the home,
alarm systems can be easily installed using the old type of wired
security devices. However, some homes use a wireless home security
alarm system to make installation quick and easy. Installation of a
wired system requires drilling and pulling wires through walls or
into basement and attic areas, which can be time consuming and
dirty work. Typically, this type of system is left to the
professional while a wireless home security alarm system can be
done by the homeowner with little effort.
Additionally, the components of a wireless
home security alarm system can be easily moved around the home to
provide protection where it is needed. Adding on to this type of
system is also easy, however every receiver has limitations on the
number of devices it can handle and staying under the maximum
acceptable number of devices will insure the system functions
properly.
Every device connected to a wireless home
security alarm system has a built in transmitter, which sends a
wireless signal to the receiver. Most of the less expensive systems
will simply sound the alarm when a device is activated. The more
costly ones will not only sound the alarm, but also indicate which
device caused it to activate. This is especially helpful when
troubleshooting a false alarm or in figuring out in which room
there is potential danger.
Wireless Systems Have Distinct
Disadvantages
While the ease of installation ranks high on
the list for a wireless home security alarm system, there are some
disadvantages. The transmitters used in wireless devices operate on
batteries, which will need changed frequently. Using motion sensor
cameras can save the power when the cameras are not operating, but
the batteries will drain periodically and will need to be changed.
Additionally, as the battery weakens, the distance it can send the
signal becomes shorter, creating the potential for a false
alarm.
The construction of the house can also limit
the distance a signal travels. While many wireless home security
alarm system devices can send out a signal between 200 and 300
feet, depending on its quality, brick and metal walls slow the
signals considerably. It is possible that the signal strength will
be cut in half, or more, if it is trying to penetrate especially
thick walls. The unit may still function properly, but if the
signal cannot reach the receiver, the alarm is not going to
work.
