Advantages and disadvantages - Wired vs Wireless

Wired home security system:

  1. You have a control panel and various sensors places around your home.
  2. Better to hire professionals to install it, because if not then you are at risk of a burglar tampering with them, and deactivating your entire system.
  3. Do it when you have other home improvement work to do, because it needs drilling holes in your walls and therefore causes mess in your apparment and it ads additional costs.
  4. Minimum monitoring and maintenance, little posibility of false alarms.
  5. They run on your home's power grid, so if your power goes out or your lines are cut, then your security system is useless.
  6. Reliability, durability, very permanent. 

Wireless home security system

  1. It functions on radio waves which will detect motion and instantly transmit it to your control unit. It can transmit signals within hundreds of feet.
  2. Really easy installaton because cables are not incorporated. No drilling holes.
  3. Turn on or turn of the system via a small remote control.
  4. No need to pay those high monthly monitoring fees that the professionally installed security systems require. 
  5. Homeowners are notified once the device needs some battery replacement. Since it is powered by batteries, your device is not affected when there is a blackout or power shortage in your area.
  6. It can automatically alert various emergency services, like the police station, once an intruder is detected. With this added feature, you can instantly contact emergency services without having to dial your phone.
  7. Easily upgradable: if you have a a larger area you want to cover, you can easily add additional sensors that have their own radio signal, and expand your security system as much as you want.


    There's also options with wireless home security alarm systems that include services for the elderly and for kids home alone.  GPS tracking is one of the latest innovative technologies that have been integrated into today's wireless alert systems.
