These days everything is “going wireless”. This includes home security. Many security system companies are moving towards wireless home security systems and are doing so for a number of reasons. A few of the main reasons include ease of use, simple installation and more streamlined customer support. There is certainly something to be said about the simplicity of wireless security systems. Don’t be fooled though, the best wireless security systems are just as secure as any other home security system.
So, let’s explore the primary advantages to owning a wireless security system.
First and foremost is the ease of installation. Wireless security systems are extremely easy to install. Most wireless security systems are also Do It Yourself security systems. This means you can easily install the system on your own without the need for a technician. Not only does not needing a technician prove to be easier for homeowners but it also cuts down on the time of security system installation as well. Most Do It Yourself security systems can be installed in under an hour.
Secondly, wireless security systems are extremely easy to use and understand. When your home is full of rampant wires it’s difficult to know what exactly is going on or how your security system works. Wireless security systems normally consist of a Control Panel and main keypad in which you control your system to arm & disarm it and change system settings.
Many of these actions can also be online or on your mobile phone with interactive monitoring packages. Ultimately, wireless security systems are easy to configure one they are installed. You can even name sensors and keep track of where each one is so if you have an issue later it is easy to troubleshoot the problem. That brings us to our next item, maintenance.
Probably the most hated thing about any consumer product in this day in age is that it simply doesn’t stand the test of time. Consumers purchase new cellular phones almost every year or even sooner. The fact is you simply don’t want to have to replace your security system or any its components shortly after purchase. Wireless security systems are extremely durable; and the best security system companies use trusted security system equipment from the likes of GE or Honeywell.
A lot of companies will offer long term or lifetime warranties, but it’s rare you’ll ever have to use them. A wireless security system sensor may malfunction from time to time but usually requires a simple fix or reset. If the sensor happens to go bad you simply take it down and replace it with a new one. You won’t have to worry about calling out for a technician and wait for days to get your sensor replaced and get your security system working properly again.
