\"wireless<\/a>If you are looking for an effective but economical way to protect your vacation home or primary residence against break-ins, a do-it-yourself wireless security system<\/a><\/strong> is your best bet. In addition to the savings you\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2ll realize by installing it yourself, there are a lot of other advantages to choosing a wireless security system over a traditional hard-wired security system.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. Easy to Install Yourself<\/strong><\/h4>\n

A wireless home security system communicates via radio signals, making it very simple and a lot less costly to install than a hard-wired alarm system<\/strong> that requires running wires and drilling holes through walls, ceilings, woodwork and concrete. For older homes that are difficult to wire, a wireless system is the perfect solution. The average do-it-yourselfer can install a wireless security system like the Skylink AAA+ Home Smart Center<\/a><\/strong> in just a few hours.<\/p>\n

A wireless security system \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c5\u201cstarter kit\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c2\u009d<\/a><\/strong> with a control panel and three sensors costs about $125. More advanced systems, like the popular Wisdom Wireless Bonus Kit<\/a><\/strong> with additional sensors, zones and partitions, range in price from $200 to $500. Compare these modest prices to the cost of a professionally installed hard-wired alarm system which typically costs $1,000 to $1,500 (depending on the equipment and layout of your home) plus monthly monitoring fees of $30 to $40. \u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0The savings with a wireless security system is huge!<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. No Monthly Monitoring Fees<\/strong><\/h4>\n

DIY wireless security systems are designed to contact you directly by phone when there\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s an emergency, so you don\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2t need an outside monitoring company that charges hefty monthly fees.<\/strong> Many wireless security systems will dial multiple phone numbers, so if the first family member doesn\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2t pick up, another person will be called automatically.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. Works Even During Power Outages<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Because every sensor in a wireless security system is battery powered, sensors continue to operate even during power outages<\/strong>. The system\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s control panel typically uses A\/C power but comes with reliable, robust batteries for backup power.<\/p>\n

\"Telular<\/a>5. Don\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2t Need a Landline<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Many wireless home security systems now offer a cellular communications option<\/a><\/strong>, making them ideal for vacation homes without a landline phone<\/strong>. You can also add a cellular terminal<\/a> as a backup so if your landline connection is cut, your wireless home security system can still send out alerts.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

6. Tamper Resistant<\/strong><\/h4>\n

A skilled burglar can disarm a traditional hard-wired home security system by cutting wires. Sabotaging a wireless security system is not that easy since each wireless component operates independently<\/strong> and would have to be disabled individually.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

7. Automatic Troubleshooting<\/strong><\/h4>\n

When a hard-wired system isn\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2t working properly, it can take a professional serviceman hours and hours to analyze the hundreds of feet of wiring and locate the problem, whereas wireless security systems like the Rokonet Wisdom series<\/a><\/strong> do their own troubleshooting. Most wireless sensors also provide \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c5\u201clow battery\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c2\u009d alerts.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

8. Portable<\/strong><\/h4>\n

If you move to a new house, your wireless security system can move with you, so you don\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2t have to invest in a new system.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Summer is a good time for do-it-yourself projects like installing a wireless security system in your home. There are many wireless home alarm systems<\/a><\/strong> on the market today with a variety of sensors options and accessories, including motion sensors, door\/window sensors, smoke detectors, keychain remote controls and glass breaker sensors. Some systems also double as a \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c5\u201chome automation center,\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c2\u009d<\/a><\/strong> allowing you to remotely control household appliances and lights. And since a wireless home security system is designed to be expandable, you can add sensors at any time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
