Instead of a single security camera, why choose a home security system?

Wired vs. Wireless home security systems: What's the difference?

A wired home security system connects sensors to a control panel through a network of wires hidden within the walls and floors of your home. It makes use of your home's telephone line, or ethernet cable, and is plugged into a standard wall outlet —your home's electrical system.

‍

A wireless home security system connects sensors to a control panel through radio frequency technology, making use of a cellular connection, and is battery operated. Hardwired systems usually require some installation –which results in added costs —while wireless systems can be installed by yourself, at your own convenience.

‍

What are the benefits of a wireless home security system?

You're still protected even through a power outage

Wireless home security systems are battery-operated, and many systems will notify you if the batteries are low, so you can work quickly to prevent a gap in security coverage. You can still protect your home even if the power goes out.

It's more secure

Many burglars disarm your security system by cutting wires, tampering with the wires or interfering with the frequency.

A wireless system has no wires to cut, and becomes exponentially harder to bypass or interfere with.

‍

It's a flexible solution

Because of its wireless nature, you won’t be tied down by having set places for your sensors. Just sold your car, and the garage is empty? Move that garage sensor poolside, so you can be notified of any uninvited guests.

‍

It's cost-effective

We know having the best security does not come with the prettiest price tag—but installing a wireless home security system is more cost-effective than a monitored or wired security system.

‍

Installation costs are minimal, and you can even install it yourself, if you're an avid DIYer. HomeLinkd Tip:You can pay a lower premium for homeowner's insurance if you have a security system installed.

‍

You can keep tabs on your home remotely

You're on holiday and suddenly you get a notification that there could be an intruder in your house. The first thing many of us would do is panic—wondering who or what is rummaging through our belongings.

‍

But, with a modern home security system, you'll be able to remotely monitor what's going on in your home, from your phone.It’s as simple as opening an app, and seeing who’s in your home. Depending on your provider, you can also manage smart thermostats, smart keyless door locks and smart lighting from hundreds of miles away.
