Security Advantages in a Wireless Age
Wireless technology is everywhere: WiFi keeps students
connected to the Internet no matter where they roam or where they set up shop.
Cell phones, which are connected to global wireless networks, keep families
texting and in-touch. Personal digital assistants (or PDAs) keep business
travelers up-to-date and linked-in with their offices, despite the miles that
may separate the two. So if wireless is being used in the devices that keep
people communicating and connected, it is no wonder that it is also quickly
supplementing or replacing hard-wired implementations in office and home
security systems. Unrestricted by cumbersome wires and cables, wireless options
have many advantages of their old counterparts.
Cameras
For various reasons, home and business owners may see the
need to install video cameras to watch over their commercial and residential
property. An intruder can't cut the wires of a wireless system, which makes it
harder to bypass the system and eliminates the risk of an undetected break in.
Aesthetics
Many customers have cited that they opted to install a home
alarm system only after wireless technology was made available. Why? Because
they were not comfortable with a host of cables crisscrossing their house, and
thus never wanted to install a system that required them. Renters especially,
unable to drill or make cosmetic changes to their properties, lacked alarm
options before. However, times have changed. Compared to hard-wired systems,
the installation of a monitored wireless option requires minimal drilling.
Consequently, the system fits seamlessly into homes. New customers will no
longer have to choose between aesthetic value and reliable home security;
wireless technology has simplified and concealed the tools that will keep you
safe.
Wireless Keychain Remote
Using wireless technology homeowners have one more
convenient way to manage their security systems. With the touch of a button,
from almost anywhere in the house, this wireless remote can arm or disarm a
home's entire system. That means if you happen to go to bed only to realize
that you never set the alarm, you won't have to get up to arm it; using your
keychain, you can do it from the comfort of your bed! This handheld device
literally puts home safety in the palm of your hands (which is especially handy
when entering the house with an arm full of groceries). Gone are the days of
struggling to enter your numerical code, baby and groceries in hand, before
triggering the system; with a remote, homeowners can juggle their milk and
enter their home peacefully.
Enhanced Monitoring Capabilities
Many home alarm systems have outsourced their central
controls to outside of the United States, but with the right provider, you can
have domestic service ready and waiting. Along with monitoring potential
burglar activity, wireless technology allows alarm companies to go above and beyond their
traditional services. With optional upgrades you can install water and freeze
sensors, which notify the company of temperature shifts, who then will notify
you with a call or email. No way, right? They can also monitor your Smoke and
Carbon Monoxide detectors.
There are no limits to what wireless technology is capable
of; and luckily for business and homeowners nationwide, wireless advances are
making already reliable security systems that much more safe and sound.
