When it comes to protecting your home or commercial premises, burglar alarms can be vital.
As well as alerting you to someone invading your property, they can also encourage people nearby to call the authorities.
They also work effectively as a deterrent as burglars will usually look for the path of least resistance when it comes to targeting possible properties.
AllStar Security Systems is committed to offering the best wired/wireless burglar systems in the Banstead area and here is a guide to help you decide which option is best for your needs.
Different types
The most basic option is referred to as the “bells only” in that its sole function is making a noise alerting people that someone has invaded the property. This is ideal if you want a basic deterrent.
Another option is a dial system that automatically calls a number if activated. If you have a commercial property this can be useful as it will get the authorities alerted as soon as possible.
Monitored alarms contact monitoring companies who in turn can contact the local authorities. Finally there are smart app systems that can be controlled at a distance, ideal if you are regularly away from home.
Wired v wireless
Choosing between wireless and wired systems largely depends on personal preference.
While some people feel a hardwired system is more reliable, a wireless system can be installed more easily and can often be placed in areas that a wired system would not be able to go.
Wireless systems are also a good option if you rent your home. This means that you do not need to drill holes in order to get a system installed. Furthermore, if you need to move out you can bring the setup with you.
The only part that has any wiring is the control panel, as that needs to be connected to a power source.
Some people may be concerned about the reliability of a wireless setup. However, wireless devices will usually have their own battery, so in the event of a power cut they would still be able to operate.
There have been some reports of interference (for example issues with metal filing cabinets) but these are relatively rare and there are ways to work around these kinds of issues.
If your home has already been set up for a pre-wired system then it is easy to have a hardwired security setup.
It is also relatively simple if you want to convert an existing setup for a new one.
