Home Security Alarm Systems: How Do They Work?

A hard wired security alarm system needed heavy installation in the past, which involved the drilling of holes in the walls and pulling several wires to doors and windows. This complicated installation required the moving of furniture and other things. Cleaning up all the mess left by the installer was an annoying task for the homeowners.

People choose wireless

With the introduction of wireless home security alarm systems, people prefer installing them these days instead of wired systems because of their ease of maintenance and simple installation. Installation of wireless systems is very easy, it is just like plugging in a phone and setting up a television.

Easy installation

Wireless alarm system needs the use of an electrical socket and a phone jack for plugging in the control panel of the system before it is hooked up with the phone. There are systems with a control panel which are battery operated. The electronic system can be programmed to hook up with your phones up to four numbers.

No fixed monthly fees

The system doesn't need monitoring by any company and homeowners don't have to pay for the fees. Assistance from a technician is not necessary when you choose a wireless security system for your home. When the entire system has been in place already, it starts to monitor your doors and windows and ready to detect any intrusions.

It alerts you and the neighbors when triggered

When the alarm system is triggered, it makes a very loud noise or siren and the pre-programmed emergency numbers are dialed automatically so the people who own that number will be alerted about the trigger.
