I want a security system which is reliable, highly resistant against any type of interference and will keep me, my family and my property safe. Well if this is your requirement then a wired home security system is for you. It will not only alert you in the event of a break-in but it has also been proven that alarms on the external of the property reduce the chances of a break-in.  Why burgle your house when you can easily get into the unsecured one next door?

A wired a security system works on one of two systems:

1. Open-loop systems – These trigger an alarm when a connection is made.
2. Closed-loop systems — These trigger the alarm when a connection is broken.

Most wired home security systems are a closed loop system, that is to say that if a door or window is opened then a connection is broken and the alarm is triggered. They are also better because if the intruder tries to cut the wire the alarm will sound because the circuit was broken.

Advantages of Setting up your Wired Home Security System

Wired home security systems are generally set up as follows a central control unit acts as the central point for the system and is the “brain” of the system and usually contains a keypad for codes. It has wires which are fed through the walls, along skirting boards, under carpets, to the connectors: These are generally magnetic connections which are placed against the edges of doors and windows to alert you if they are opened. The wires can also be fed to motion detectors; which will detect movement in a room. Finally also to cameras to allow you to use visual and audio recordings to protect your property.

Your security system can be installed by yourself if you are good at DIY. However a professional fitter has the tools and knowledge to make your security system as inconspicuous as possible. This is great as it ensures that the aesthetics of your property are unaltered and also there is less chance of a burglar trying to interfere with the system.

Another serious advantage to the wired system is that the distance between the units can be much greater and is only limited by the quality of the wire. This means that a single central unit can be used on all aspects inside and outside your property.

Some people seem to think that wired home security systems are expensive. However they are actually more reasonable than comparable quality wireless systems. The most expensive part is if you use a professional fitter to install the system, this can push the costs over that of a wireless system.

A Wired Home Security System can easily be wired up to your landline so in the event of your alarm being triggered, a message is then sent to the alarm systems monitoring company after a certain amount of time to allow you to input the code. They will ask you for a code to confirm it’s you and also check that it wasn’t an accidental trigger. If at any point they are not happy or you are unsure, then the emergency services will be contacted.

So to sum up the main advantages are

• Can be set up over a long distance
• Is much more tamper resistant than wireless
• Can be connected directly to the phone line contacting the authorities if required.
• Can be cheaper than comparable wireless systems if installed by you.
• Acts as a deterrent to potential burglars.

So if these factors are important to you then a wired home security system is the way to go.
