Wireless Security Alarms

There are several major components to wireless security alarms which you need to consider when finding a system that works best for your individual needs.  The size of the place to be protected and its location will also fit into the overall decision on what your needs will be.

Most wireless security alarms consist of the following components:

• Control Box:  This is the hub of the security system you will be using.  All the window and door sensors are linked to the control box which contains a keypad which allows you to both arm and disarm your system.
• Motion Sensors:  As the name indicates, these sensors detect motion in the room within their field of vision.  Today’s motion sensors are infrared (PIR) so they will detect body heat in area monitoring.
• Door/Window Sensors:  These sensors trigger an alarm when a door or window is opened.  These sensors along  with motion sensors combine to provide a quality security system.
• Phone Auto-Dialer: Many will dial up to 4 preset numbers leaving a prerecorded message when an alarm is triggered.  This works well for leaving messages for the police, the security company or relatives.
• Key Chain Remote Control: This contains buttons to arm and disarm your system.  It may also contain a panic button which sets off the alarm in a case of emergency.
• Alarm Siren: The siren goes off when an intruder is detected.  It should be loud (at least 90+ decibels) so as to wake up residents and also to scare the intruder.  Some wireless security alarms also contain flashing lights which add to the warning system.

As you can see, these components can give you security from intruders.  Wireless security alarms can be customized to fit your various needs whether that be a larger or smaller home, an apartment or an office.  Don’t delay, check out our picks on the side or find wireless security alarms here.
