Wireless Security Systems

The Pros of Wireless Security Systems
Quick Installation
If you’re looking for a security system that is quick and easy to install, a wireless security system is ideal for your home or business. Installation of these security systems is quick and easy because no drilling is or wiring is required, unlike wired security systems. You can save money by getting a wireless security system due to no installation fees.
Easy Uninstallation
If you more or need to remove the security system for any reason, it will not be much of a hassle since wires do not have to be ripped out of the wall. All of the equipment is wireless, so it can be uninstalled in a matter of minutes and does not require professional uninstallation.
The Wireless Feature
Wireless security systems offer more protection than a wired security system because they do not use phone lines, and because of this, are less vulnerable. Security systems that use phone lines, such as wired security systems, can easily be compromised by cutting the phone line. A cut phone line disarms and shuts down an entire wired security system. Wireless security systems use sensors instead of a phone line.
Easily Modified
Because wireless systems are not hardwired, they can easily be modified and upgraded. You can move the sensors around as you see fit and add additional sensors if you need to without compromising the security system or damaging your home.
Remote Technology
One of the most appreciated features of wireless security systems is remote technology. This technology allows you to control a variety of features in your home, including the locks, lighting and arming and disarming the system. A newer feature of this technology allows you to view live video feeds of every room in your home via surveillance cameras on your Smartphone or iPhone.
Cons of Wireless Security Systems
Interference Vulnerability
Although wireless security systems are not made vulnerable through phone lines, they are vulnerable through interference. Wi-Fi signals do not drop often, but it can happen, leaving your home unprotected until the system regains signal.
Limited Range
Wireless security systems use sensors to protect your home, and although the sensors are of high-quality equipment, they have limited range. With limited range, wireless security systems perform best in small or medium spaces.
