Benefits of installing a wireless home security system

July 31, 2005

There are many reasons to install a home security system such as theft deterrent, monitoring the safety and security of your pets while you are away, alerting you of intruders, and simply providing you with a greater piece of mind. If you are thinking of installing a security system, you might want to consider selecting a wireless home security system simply because there are so many great models on the market today and they are a lot easier and less expensive to install. A wireless home security system will provide you with all the benefits of a great security system without the hassle and mess of having to drill holes and dig trenches to have it installed.

There are many different companies that make wireless home security systems. One of the most popular companies is X10 which offers the Protector Plus system. When the alarm is triggered the system sounds a siren, flashes lights, and automatically dials up to four pre-set numbers delivering a pre-recorded message. This system is easy to install yourself and provides complete security with 16-zone coverage of your home with motion, door, and window sensors.

The benefit of using a wireless home security system such as X10’s Protector Plus is that there is no monthly service fee. Traditional home security systems come with a steep monthly fee in order to cover the fee of having a monitoring company service any phone calls needed to the police, etc. The Protector Plus system has pre-set phone numbers it automatically dials alerting you to make the phone call yourself and thus avoid the monthly expense of a monitoring service.

Another major benefit of utilizing a wireless home security system is its ease of installation over traditional hard wired models. A wireless home security system uses small radio transmitters instead of wires to send the necessary signals between the system sensors and control panel. This means there is no drilling necessary and you can take the system with you when you relocate.
