Installing Alarm Systems - Which is the Cheapest?
Many people would like a home security installation but have not got the budget for an expensive system and installation costing hundreds of dollars. So how can we achieve a good level of home security without costing the earth?
It is vital that we all consider improving our home security and taking steps to prevent a burglar intrusion. We have worked so hard to get to where we have in life today so don't leave yourself wide open to have that taken away from you. By not taking some sort of home security precaution you are at risk of losing so much for both you and your family.
Burglar alarm systems have been around for many, many years and used to be for the wealthy but these days we all have belongings and personal possessions that need protection. The great news is that there are so many affordable alarm systems around nowadays and technology has improved considerably.
However, the cost of the system in the first instance is not really too much of an issue as there are so many cheap alarm systems available - it's the cost of installation that can bump the price of the project up considerably. However, we have choices available so that we can keep costs within a reasonable budget.
There are two main types of burglar alarm system: hard wired and wireless. Each has a different approach to installation and this has a knock on effect of the cost of the project. A hard wired system is the more traditional approach to a home security alarm system whereby all alarm sensors are connected to the main control panel via cables. This is a more reliable home security installation and has greater longevity but it comes at a cost. You will need to employ a professional alarm installation company to carry out the work - unless you are happy to channel out your walls and lift shirtings and floorboards. This work is specialized and really should only be carry out by professionals. So you could imagine how the costs can escalate as you will not only have to pay for labor but materials too as a lot of cabling will be required.
Alternatively, the next best thing is a wireless alarm installation. Fortunately this installation can be carried out be most keen do-it-yourself enthusiasts. It is not as difficult as one would think and is definitely worth having a go at. You will save considerably on project costs. The control panel will need to be installed near to a power socket to supply power to it and depending which system you buy, a cable may need to be run to the siren/bell box, but that is about the only difficulty in a wireless alarm installation. The sensors simply screw the wall and are battery powered so are totally self sufficient. The wireless sensors are then each in turn "learnt" into the control panel system so that it can recognize the signal sent from them. When a sensor is triggered, the information is sent wirelessly to the control panel for processing.
As can be seen it is not only the initial cost of purchasing a home security system but the installation bumps up the overall project costs. A wireless home alarm system will undoubtedly cost less to install and provide the same level of protection as a hard wired system.
