Which Siren Box to choose for your home?

I often get asked this question, when customers are choosing home alarm system components, which siren box is better?
Here are the factors to consider when choosing a siren box for your home or business.

Often units governed by Strata laws require certain rules to be followed for the external structure of units, including siren boxes..

You will need to approach your Strata body prior to a decision regarding size of siren. It is often Strata corporations require siren boxes to be of a certain size or non existent.

If it is a requirement of your Strata complex that you cannot have an external siren box, then I would recommend you have a self monitored alarm system, for alarm notifications to your mobile.
Power consumption, it is a known fact that the new LED siren light will draw less power than the conventional strobe.
In short, if you power goes off and you have to rely on back up battery. The LED siren will last the longest.
Summary always choose the larger siren, I know it is not attractive, but it is best to be seen than not to be seen.

Sirens boxes can aid in a visual deterrent for a potential intruder, I would suggest the large siren box the better. If you are able to spot your siren box from the street, hopefully a intruder may think twice before robbing your home.

Do Wireless Alarms Need Wi-Fi?

Wireless alarm systems will not require Wi-Fi , at least not to communicate with its wireless components. The only time a wireless alarm would need Wi-Fi is if it reports back to an app on a customer’s smartphone, to alert them of an intrusion or to allow them to arm and disarm the system remotely. For the system to properly talk with its wireless components , it would require a receiver. In some instances this receiver can be built into the main control panel, but more often than not it is a separate device that must be wired in. This receiver uses RF frequencies to communicate with each wireless device, which will have a wireless transmitter inside. These wireless devices have the same function as their hard wired options, for example a wireless detector is able to detect movement the same way a wired detector will. The difference is how it transmits this signal back to the panel. The hard wired detector creates an open circuit when it detects movement, tripping the alarm ins
