When choosing to have a business intruder alarm system installed you are highly reducing the risk of damage and loss of property through burglary. An effective intruder alarm system guarantees safety and security to you, your staff and business at all times. Due to the reduced risk of loss and burglary, discounts to your commercial insurance policy can be expected.
In most areas there is very little difference between the wired intruder alarm systems and wireless intruder alarm systems. For many, the deciding factor is whether or not the premises already has a wired alarm installed or if the property is a new build or undergoing a refurbishment. If the property already has a wired alarm installed, replacing it with a wireless alarm has very little benefit. If the property is being built or refurbished, installing the wires for a wired intruder alarm is more straightforward.
With wireless technology ever improving wireless intruder alarms are popular with business owners because they are installed with minimum disruption to interior fitting within the property.
Wired systems draw their power from the electrical mains, uninterrupted power supply. Wireless systems use batteries for each device (sensors etc), which need monitoring and replacing. Business premises which are undergoing refurbishment or new builds where it is easier to run cables are usually fitted with wired systems.
In most areas there is very little difference between the two intruder alarm systems. For many, the deciding factor is whether or not the property already has a wired alarm installed or if the property is a new build or undergoing a refurbishment. If your premises already has a wired alarm installed, replacing it with a wireless alarm has very little benefit.
If you do not have a intruder alarm fitted already, wireless intruder alarms are the simplest to install, with near identical performance to the alternative wired Intruder alarm. After all, wired alarm installations can be complex and time consuming task installing the cables.
Wireless intruder alarms can be installed in much less time and have a greater flexibility in terms of positing as there are no issues with unsightly wiring. This also means you can easily achieve optimum locations for your intruder alarm sensors.
You can position wired intruder alarm apparatus just as effectively, but you might have to sacrifice aesthetics due to cables running everywhere for the same effect. This is why the best time to install a wired system is if you are undergoing a refurbishment, the property is a new build or the cables are already in place and are in good working order.
In the end, it is these circumstantial factors that are most important in deciding whether to go wired or wireless.
