The Advantages And Disadvantages Of Wireless Home Security Systems Los Angeles

By Elise Clayton


The installation of home security systems Los Angeles in residential premises is always the first line of defense to ensure the property is fully protected against intruders. The market has a wide gamut of security devices, which are generally categorized into two; hard wired and wireless home security systems.

There is no difference in the way these systems work because they contain the same components, only that the wireless set up lacks the physical wiring. It has a main console, which happens to be the 'brain' of the entire set up and normally communicates with the control panel through radio signals. The control panel is normally located separately away from the main console.

Wireless gadgets are portable, discreet, and very convenient; no wonder they are a favorite among homeowners today. However, they are costly and their functioning can be compromised because of other electrical devices in their vicinity, thus making them less reliable, at least when compared to their wired counterparts. Here are some advantages and disadvantages to help you make an informed decision.

First and foremost, the models aesthetically appealing, which is obvious considering the fact that there would be no wires cluttering your walls as they run from the main console to the control panel. In an effort to keep up with the rising demand for aesthetically appealing gadgets in residential homes, manufactures are making devices that complement interior decors.

Easy to install and move around is another advantage. Because there would be no need for wiring and stuff, installing the gadgets is very easy and any do-it-yourself homeowner can accomplish. Further, they are very portable, meaning you can always move with your devices to wherever you go, or change its location if need be, perhaps because of signal interference from nearby electrical devices.

When it comes to disadvantages, not only are they very expensive to purchase (although the cost may be negated by not paying the high cost of installation), the reliability and efficacy of the wireless gadgets can be compromised when transmission is lost. Transmission is normally lost when there is another electrical device nearby, which may lead to white noise. Also, the main console can get damaged without your knowledge, or signals may be hacked by dishonest people leading to loss of your privacy, all which happen without your knowledge.

Perhaps this explains the reason why most homeowners have both types of home security systems Los Angeles installed.
