Wireless Alarm Systems

What is a wireless alarm system?

Wireless alarm systems consist of a central unit (the hub) that communicates wirelessly with the components. Instead of cables, a wireless connection is used (this is not WiFi). This makes installation much easier and faster. A dedicated wireless and encrypted frequency is used for this communication.

Wireless alarm systems are now just as reliable as wired systems. Nowadays, they can even be used for businesses up to Grade 2. Thanks to modern technology, malfunctions or hacking are virtually impossible.

The benefits of wireless alarm systems

Buying a wireless alarm system certainly has advantages over wired systems:

• Easy installation: no demolition work or pulling cables.
• Flexible expandability: easily add extra sensors and detectors.
• Control via smartphone: receive notifications and arm or disarm your system via an app.
• No subscription required: many systems work completely without a monitoring center.
• Suitable for every type of home: whether you have an apartment or a single-family home.

Safety and reliability

A frequently asked question is: is a wireless alarm system safe?The answer is yes. Modern systems work with encrypted signals that prevent malfunctions or sabotage. In addition, many models have a backup battery, so the system continues to function even during a power outage.

Different applications

A wireless alarm system can be used for various purposes:

• Homes: secure your doors, windows, garage, or garden.
• Offices: protect your office space and equipment against burglary.
• Shops: receive an immediate alarm in case of, for example, shoplifting.
• Warehouses: ideal for larger spaces where expansion with multiple sensors is desired.

Starter kits and extensions

Those starting with a wireless alarm system often choose a starter kit. These kits contain a central hub and a number of basic sensors. Often, there is no siren included, but we advise purchasing one. This deters intruders. With a starter kit, you immediately have the basis of the system in your home.

Later, you can easily expand the system. For example, add extra controls or panic buttons. It is also possible to link advanced motion sensors with a camera. This way, the system grows with your wishes and situation.

With or without a subscription

An important advantage of many wireless alarm systems is that they also work without a subscription. You receive notifications via the app and immediately hear the siren. For private individuals, this is often sufficient.

If you want more security, you can opt for a connection to a monitoring center. This must be done by a security company. They will take immediate action in case of an alarm, for example, by calling you or contacting the police. This way, you determine which level of security suits you.
