The Benefits of a Wireless Security System Installation

Today’s residential wireless security system comes in numerous forms, from smart video doorbells to extensive coverage with multiple security cameras, sensors, and alarms. And the number is growing. 

According to a survey by U.S. News, the leading reasons home security systems continue to grow in popularity are self-protection, deterring criminals, and peace of mind. A UNC Charlotte study confirms their ability to deter burglars, with 83% of would-be thieves looking for alarms and over half moving on if they found one.

The Benefit of a Wireless System Installation

There was a time when nearly all the alarm systems we installed were hardwired, requiring an extensive and lengthy installation process. Why? Because we’ve been in business since 1968, have over 25,000 installations under our belt, and, way back when, wired security systems were all that was available.

The latest smart wireless systems enable our team to install systems in existing homes without drilling extensive holes and running massive amounts of wiring. But for you, they offer so much more. 

We can install wireless home security systems in out-of-the-way areas, covering cabinets containing valuables or firearms and detached buildings. These systems use radio waves instead of wires to communicate between cameras, sensors, and the control panel. They also send alerts to you and your professional monitoring company. 

The Features of a Wireless Security System

These systems offer numerous benefits once unheard of in home security.

• Remote Access: One of the greatest advantages is the ability to control your system remotely. If a houseguest arrives before you do, you can disarm the alarm, unlock the door, and turn on the entryway lights.
• Worldwide Connections: These systems let you check in on your home from anywhere. And it's a feature many people put to the test. U.S. News revealed that 52% of those surveyed checked their cameras’ video footage remotely multiple times a day when they were away from home for over one day. 
• Smartphone Alerts: When unexpected events occur, you receive a notification on your smartphone. Whether it’s a smoke alarm going off or someone peering into your garage, you’ll know. 

Flexible, Scalable, & Secure

Wireless security systems let us place your home security cameras anywhere and move them as your family and needs change. When the children are young, you may want a camera focused on the pool with a digital tripwire that alerts you when someone crosses it. 

When they get older, and you get the sports car you've always dreamed of, you may want us to direct some cameras toward the garage and driveway and set up the system so that you receive alerts if someone lingers in the area.

A wireless system also means there are no wires a criminal could tamper with and cut. Additionally, thanks to battery backups, you’re always protected, even if the power goes out.
