In the past, security meant installing cables and connecting each
area of your premises with a bulky alarm system that required a person
to physically input a code in order to set or turn off the alarm. Today,
you can protect your property with a wireless alarm system, which has
many benefits over the old wired technology.
One advantage of wireless alarms is the ease with which you can set
up the system, adapt it, and remove it if necessary. With a wireless
system, you don’t have to install circuits and can avoid all the
disruption this involves - taking down walls, drilling through hard
surfaces, re-routing pipes and other electrical systems, etc. You simply
have the system itself and need a few screws to fix it to the wall,
plus a little time. This way, if you need to move the system (for
example, if you relocate your work premises), you don’t lose the
security you already had installed. You can take it with you. If your
business grows, your security system grows with it, without any of the
associated costs.
A wireless system is powered by batteries, which means that even if
there is a power outage or an intruder cuts your power supply, your
security system will still work. A wireless alarm system is designed to
work with batteries and, as such, is highly efficient - you don’t have
to change the batteries every day, and you will be prompted to check
the power on a regular basis so you know when it is time to replace or
recharge. Most wireless systems also use a simple mobile phone signal to
send out an alarm. If your phone line is cut or you don’t have a
landline, you are still protected. The alarm is sent not just to you but
to anyone else on the call list, including the local police.
Another advantage of a wireless system is the range you can protect
with just one system. Most wired circuits can only cover the size of a
few rooms, but a good wireless system will protect you over hundreds of
feet. You can, therefore, protect buildings and property over a wider
area, even when the buildings are not attached. For example, a shed and a
garage plus the house, or an annex to an office or factory. If you want
to protect an even wider area, you can link several wireless systems
together.
One of the main benefits of this kind of system is the affordability.
None of these advantages would be worth it if the system you installed
costed a fortune to fit and run. Wireless alarms for homes and small
businesses are economical, and once you’ve purchased the system, you
can take it with you wherever you move. You also won’t need to spend a
lot of money on upgrades and other adjustments as the system will suit
you for many years to come.
