Wireless Security Alarm?- which one is right for me?

Wireless Security Alarm?- which one is right for me?

One of the first decisions many people have to make when choosing to install a home alarm system is whether to opt for a wired or wireless solution.


The truth is that there is no universal answer, as every home and family is different and will therefore have unique needs and requirements that their security solution will be required to meet.


Bosch alarm systems
offer wireless detectors and wireless reed switches, perfect solution for two storey dwellings where cables to downstairs areas are very difficult.

For that reason, it's always a good idea to talk to a trained professional who knows the ins and outs of home security before

making a decision.

There are however a few things that you will want to keep in mind when considering whether to opt for a wired or wireless alarm system, including the level of installation you wish to undergo.

Wireless alarm systems obviously require far less invasive installation procedures, as they do not call for cables to be installed through walls and under floorboards.

That makes them a particularly good option for renters who might not be authorised to make in depth renovations to their home.
The Hikvision and Risco Alarm system are particularly suited to renters as it can be erected with removable adhesive. It provide camera snap shot integration.


Another thing to consider will be whether you might be moving property in the future. Wireless alarm systems are much easier to uninstall and transport as necessary and are therefore a good option for people who may not be planning on
staying in one house or apartment for long.

The flip side is that wireless alarm systems are much more dependent on battery power, which means that you will need to check them fairly regularly to ensure they are still running to specification.

The good news is that batteries in wireless alarm systems usually do not need to be changed that often - about once every six months at most - meaning it isn't something to be overly concerned about.

Both options - wireless and wired - have their own advantages and disadvantages, so make sure you think carefully about your options and make a decision that will be sure to keep your home and property safe for years to come.

Daylight savings reminder: check your home alarm

Next Sunday (October 7) marks the start of daylight savings for the summer of 2012-13, and households in NSW, Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania, and the ACT will all be setting their clocks forward one hour in order to take advantage of the warmer weather. Daylight savings is a fantastic opportunity for you to perform a few important tasks around the home. For example, we are often encouraged to change the batteries in our smoke alarms at this time of year, to ensure they are fully charged and ready for an emergency. Another thing you might want to check, and something that many people fail to take into consideration, is whether the batteries in your  home alarm system  are fully charged and working correctly. Wireless alarm systems  are a great choice for people wanting to cut down on installation and reduce the amount of cables in their homes; however the trade off is that these systems rely on battery power. If you have an alarm system with old, expired or dead batteries, then

Safety in darkness: the advantage of infrared CCTV cameras

While criminals might target your business at any time, day or night, it is no secret that they often choose to operate under the cover of darkness. Night offers protection from prying eyes, with fewer potential witnesses, and all too often people arrive at their place of work in the morning only to find signs of an intrusion and missing property or vandalism. That is why it is important to ensure you are monitoring your business at all times, and the best way to do this is with an infrared  CCTV  camera. These work differently to regular cameras as they are able to detect and convert heat energy into an electrical signal, which can then be converted into a representative image. Infrared cameras are an ideal option for outdoor shooting as they offer a far superior picture in low light conditions. However modern infrared cameras are also adept at indoor shooting as well, or for capturing any area where variable light conditions might make a regular CCTV camera less ideal. On
