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. 
Hikvision Wireless Alarm
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 instantly. The wireless detector transmits the signal over RF frequencies back to the receiver, which communicates directly to the control panel.
