According to an estimate, over 1,000,000 burglaries occur in the United States every year. One of the most effective ways to make your home more secure is to install a home security system. A home security system is a potent burglar deterrent. Many burglars avoid homes with a home security system as they fear being ‘caught in the act’.
There are two types of home security systems – wired systems and wireless systems. Many alarm installers serving Sonoma prefer wireless systems over their wired counterparts because of their benefits. The basic difference between a wired and wireless system is that a wired system uses wires to transmit footage, whereas a wireless system uses the user’s Wi-Fi network to communicate with the monitoring center.
Here are some compelling reasons to consider a wireless home security system.
No Wires
If you have a wired home security system, a burglar can easily break into your home by cutting wires with a wire cutter. Since wireless security systems don’t have this potential vulnerability, bypassing them is not that simple. Wireless security system installation is less time-consuming, simpler, and easier than wired security system installation as you need not drill holes into your walls and run wires through them.
Flexibility
With a wired security system, you are forced to place your cameras only in the ease to reach spots for cables regardless of whether you want to bring those areas under surveillance. On the other hand, a wireless security system gives you the freedom to place your cameras in your desired locations. It also saves you the hassle of dealing with wires when moving your cameras to a different location. Scaling a wireless security system is comparatively easier than a wired system as you do not have to run new wiring, which involves a lot of effort.
Cost Savings
The long-term benefits of wireless security systems far outweigh their cost. If you opt for a wireless security system, you need not purchase wires. Simpler installation less work for the installation company reduced installation costs. It is also relatively simpler and easier to maintain a wireless security system.
Smart Features
Wireless security systems come loaded with a wide range of security features such as night vision and low light recording, remote monitoring and 128 bit AES encryption that keeps hackers at bay. Advanced systems let users control their wireless cameras and monitor their home remotely. When a state-of-the-art wireless security system detects unauthorized movement, it sends notifications to the user’s mobile device, so they can take timely action.
