How Does a Wireless Home Security System Work

Wireless home security systems have increased in popularity because they eliminate a jumbled mass of wires and are simple to install. If your home has been built with the wiring for a hard-wired home security system, you don’t have the chaotic mass of wires under your foot. Since most homeowners buy a home built several years ago, they do not have that luxury. The wireless home security system is the choice made by several new homeowners.

To give you an idea of how simple a wireless home security system is to install, if you know how to plug in a phone and program your VCR or TV remote, you can install one yourself. You can save money on having the installation done by a professional, but if it makes you feel more comfortable, you can have a professional install the system.

Wireless home security systems typically have a system control panel and a wall outlet plugged into your phone line. Some work off battery power only. The control panel monitors all the information from the remotes and makes necessary phone calls when motion is detected. With a wireless system, you can hire the services of a monitoring company or elect to monitor the equipment yourself.

To do this, you will enter your phone number and a few other phone numbers of trusted friends or family members. The control panel will call you. After listening to the noise in your house, you will determine whether to call for emergency services. This will help eliminate false alarm calls to the police, which can result in a hefty fine.

So, how does the wireless home security system work?

Well, wireless home security systems are very much like wired home security systems. The sensor will signal the control unit when a sensor is tripped, such as when a door or window is opened. The signal will be sent via the cable on a wired home security system. The signal will be sent via radio waves on a wireless home security system. Radio waves can travel through a lot of stuff, like walls. This makes it ideal to be installed after a home has been constructed that was not pre-wired for a home alarm system.

Wireless home security systems work very similarly to their wired counterparts. The main difference is the lack of wires running from each sensor back to the control panel. Wireless home security systems give homeowners more options for adding a burglar alarm system to their homes with the least amount of mess and disruption to their homes’ walls.
