Wired to Wireless: Understanding Your Security System Options

New York City never sleeps, nor does the need for home security in your Brooklyn residence. The fact is, over the years, home security systems have evolved. You now have the option between two primary types of security: hardwired systems and wireless solutions. At Alarms R Us, we understand how difficult it can be to choose the right system for your home because, after all, your safety is at stake. Let’s take a look at the difference between these two options so you can find the best fit for your home’s protection.

Hardwired Home Security Systems

When people think of home security systems, they tend to focus on a hardwired system. This tried-and-true protector traditionally includes a wall-mounted panel wired directly into your home’s electronic and phone lines. It’s the central control for connecting sensors, detectors, and cameras.

Hardwired systems boast a reliability that stems from their direct connection to a building’s infrastructure. The caveat, however, is in their installation. These systems are typically permanent fixtures, which means they stay with the house no matter if it changes hands over the years. This installation process calls for a professional to do the work. That’s why countless homeowners have trusted the pros at Alarms R Us to handle the installation of their traditional hardwired security system.

Wireless Security Systems

The new kid on the block, wireless systems, brings the benefits of modern conveniences. These systems rely on secured radio frequencies that carry data through the air to and from a central panel and an ensemble of strategically placed sensors. While a wired system remains in place, a wireless system can be moved when a tenant or owner changes residences.

Mobility and adaptability are the hallmarks of a wireless setup. The technicians at Alarms R Us can easily change your system’s layout after a recent move to a new location.

At Alarms R Us, we don’t just sell systems; we mentor you through the selection process. Our seasoned technicians understand the nuanced dynamics of a hardwired system and the dexterity of wireless technology and can help you make the right decision for your space.
