Wireless home security systems are becoming more and more popular as technology advances. They offer effective solutions to the issues of security without the hassle of installing cameras, sensors or other types of hardware.
With so many types of home security systems available, how do you know a wireless system is right for you?
Cost
When people consider investing in a home security system, one major question is how much it will cost in the end. The cost of a wireless system varies depending on what type of features you want. Generally speaking, costs can vary anywhere between $50 to $400.
However, it’s important to note that if you plan to have your system regularly monitored by the company you’re likely looking at additional monthly costs that can be anywhere from $3 to $40 plus each month.
Installation
Wireless home security systems are designed to be easy to install and use. They come with an easy installation guide and even offer online support for quick questions. These systems can be installed on any window or door without any holes or screws needed.
If you still don’t feel confident in your skills to set up a wireless system, many users have been able to have them installed professionally at little to no cost.
Level of Protection
These wireless home security systems provide you with the same level of protection as traditional surveillance cameras, but they are much more affordable. You can also adjust the amount of cameras you want to use depending on your needs, meaning you don’t have to worry about installing too many cameras if you need fewer than five.
Regular Monitoring
An added benefit of a wireless system is the ability to monitor your home at all times. Most wireless systems have access to an app on your smartphone that allows you to monitor all of your cameras at any time from anywhere.
Various Alerts
A traditional security system typically alerts you that there is suspicious activity at your home via a phone call. However, with a wireless system you can be alerted by phone call or choose to have a simple notification sent to your phone.
Available on Numerous Devices
Another useful feature with a wireless system is the ability to monitor your home with multiple devices. Instead of being limited to one cell phone number or alert system you can install a specific app on as many devices as you’d like.
Is Wireless for You?
There are many different reasons why people choose to buy a wireless security system. Some of them might be because they find wireless cameras more convenient, while others might like the idea of not having to deal with wires and cords.
Regardless of what type of system you choose, installing a home security system is something you won’t regret.
