If you are looking to install a home security system or maybe want to upgrade an existing system then have you considered the advantages of a wireless home monitoring system?  You can find some great options at Pennsylvania Home Security Systems.

What is a wireless system?
A wireless system uses long-range radio signals which are connected to sensors around the home, all you have to do is connect your alarm and it’s components to your local broadband network and you are good to go.

Are they expensive?
Whilst wireless units appear to cost more than their hard-wired counterparts, don’t forget that you would have to pay for installation costs on top of the price of the unit and with a hard-wired unit this could be a considerable expense sometimes in the region of £800-1,000.  Whilst you should always employ the services of a professional to make sure your system has been installed correctly, overall wireless systems are more cost-effective.

Advantages
A wireless system means just that, no wires and so installation is faster and cheaper than a hard-wired alarm system.  You also don’t have to worry about creating holes in your walls to run your wires or risk having wires exposed which isn’t ideal for a family home.  Having no wires also makes the alarms very portable and able to be repositioned as you wish.

Wireless systems are also much more reliable, because they work via long-range broadband transmissions which send information at incredibly fast speeds and can work for a significant distance.  This can be a particular advantage if you are looking to install an alarm in a house which is located remotely.

Another advantage, often not considered when installing a home security system is that sometimes burglars, who are determined not to put off by an alarm, may seek to cut the wires or damage the system.  This isn’t possible with a wireless system for the simple reason that there are no wires to be cut!

You should never take the security of your home for granted, so if you are looking to install a home security system consider opting for a wireless system to save yourself a lot of time and hassle with the end result of a well protected home.
