As these days the crime wave expands year after year, you have to think about purchasing a home security system. If in the past this was necessary only for luxury houses, things have changed and nowadays average houses become targets for burglars.
This is due to the misconception many have that home security systems are not necessary. Burglars know that and avoid dealing with these security systems. This is why they often choose to break in average houses.
There are many types of home security systems from cheap to expensive ones and from simple to complex ones. However, the main two types of systems are the hard-wired ones and the wireless ones. In order for you to make an informed decision whether to buy one of them or the other, you should be aware of the characteristics these two types of security systems have.
In this article below you will find all the important features these two systems offer.
1) Hard-wired
The hard-wired system is one of the most popular home security systems in the world. This is because it is the oldest one on the market and the cheapest one too. The biggest advantage of this type of security system is that it has cheap components. Also, you will not have problems with the signal as it is transmitted through wires.
On the other hand, you want to purchase a hard-wired system while you are still building the house as it can be a menace to drill the ceiling and the walls in order to install such a system later. Also, if you want to replace the wires of a hard-wired system you may want to be calm and ready as it will take time and you will make some mess.
2) Wireless
The second option you have when it comes to enhancing your house security is going for a wireless home security system. This type of system only appeared a few years ago as it is based on the wireless technology. It has the great advantage of not needing any wires and that makes installing the system a very easy thing to do.
Also, maintaining such a system is not hard at all as you will not deal with wires. Another great thing is that you can add all sorts of devices such as microphones or motion detectors to this security system.
On the other hand this system also has a few disadvantages you should be aware of before deciding to buy it. The main disadvantage is that it is usually more expensive than the classic hard-wired one. This may be a problem if you have a very limited budget of your home security expenses.
Also, if you decide to buy such a system you should do a little research prior to purchasing it as it may have problems with the signal. You want to make sure that it will offer the desired results.
