Can I move my system from home to home?
Wireless
This is one of the major benefits if you’re always on the move. Wireless systems are extremely easy to unplug, meaning if you do decide to change homes, you can easily transport your piece of wireless equipment with you.
Wired
Wired are permanent units installed in the home, where an expert will come to fit your system, with lots of cabling required.
Because of this, it makes it extremely difficult to move your system from place to place, in fact, it probably isn’t worth the hassle.
If you plan to stay in a house for a long time, then you may be able to save money by opting for a wired system, it will also add value to your property should you come to put it on the market.
Which system will last longer?
Wireless
Because of the constant updates in modern technology, your device is unlikely to become outdated, thanks to constant software updates.
The only drawback is your machine can only deal with the maximum wireless capacity from the time it was made. If a new and improved wireless system comes into place in the future, your device may not be able to handle it.
Batteries can also be an issue, running low from time to time and potentially affecting performance. To combat this, most modern sensors come with a low battery alert, but these aren’t always 100% accurate.
Wired
If looked after, wired systems can last a lifetime due to their ease of use and simple trigger switches.
The only issue would be if the system faults, either through cabling issues or perhaps animals chewing the wires ? this could then cause the whole system to either fail or be set off at random times.
What if I need to add additional sensors to my system?
You may have purchased some extra office space, or even decided that one of the rooms in your house is now more susceptible to being burgled, this is where the need for additional sensors may come in.
Wireless
Not a problem, the beauty of wireless systems is that additional sensors can be added with ease. Systems can be expanded effortlessly, saving time, effort and money.
Wired
Difficult, time-consuming and expensive, just some of the drawbacks to having a wired system and needing to add further devices. If there’s not enough spare cabling, then a whole new set of wiring may be needed, it’s probably not worth the hassle.
