Wireless Home Security: The Big Difference

There can be a lot to consider in terms of the type of security system to use. However, many companies offer the option to go wireless with smart home technologies when building your home security system.
At NCA we believe transparency is crucial and we want you to be able to build your security system from scratch while understanding everything about the pricing along the way. With that in mind, since you’re purchasing your equipment, it’s yours to keep!
NCA will not lock out your control panel or install proprietary equipment like other security companies.

Different Types of Home Security
In addition to traditional wired security systems, wireless security systems are also available today. In a wired security system, electrical and telephone lines connect each piece of equipment, making moving the equipment and adding new elements difficult.
A wireless security system offers comprehensive protection, lower installation costs, and easy upgrades. Wireless security systems typically consist of alarms, sensors, cameras, and various detectors all connected via radio signals to a central control panel.
With so many types of security equipment and sensors on the market, it can be difficult to know which type to buy for your home, and knowing whether to buy a wired or wireless system can be confusing. However, with new, advanced wireless technology, your alarm system can protect your home or property better than ever before.
Wireless Security Systems
Unlike wired systems, wireless systems operate by using radio frequency technology. Wireless security systems come in countless models, all of which function similarly with minor differences. Any wireless device that detects anomalous activity informs you and your alarm monitoring company that something is amiss.
This then triggers the 85 decibel siren, so that the monitoring service calls the police for you. Despite the belief that wireless security is inherently less safe than wired systems, industry veterans know that this is not the case. Home security systems with wireless capabilities offer several advantages to hardwired ones. Here’s how:
Quick Installation Times
When it comes to your home security system, dealing with clunky, outdated equipment that requires a variety of wires can be difficult to install, maneuver and keep up to date. Wireless systems can be set up in a matter of minutes.
You don't even need technical skills to set them up. Self-installation is common because there is no drilling or complicated wiring, so it saves you time and money by eliminating installation fees. Though, if you partner with NCA, you can still opt for a professional installation that won’t break the bank, and will ensure your equipment is operating properly.
Remote Access
Smartphones, tablets, and computers can be used to monitor wireless systems while on the go. For those who would rather not use a smartphone app, your key fob offers an alternative option for arming and disarming the system.
These remote home access technologies can include anything from your security cameras, fire detectors, keyless door locks, lighting or heating and cooling. With these systems in place, your family or workforce can not only monitor your external safety, but can keep tabs on the functioning and safety within your space as well.
Battery Backup
While wireless systems do rely on electricity, most models have a backup battery in case the electricity goes out. Unless you have a backup generator, wired systems will lose power along with the rest of your house if there's a power outage in your neighborhood. During power outages, wireless security systems with back-up batteries will protect you in the event of danger in or around your property. Keep your family safe with wireless home security systems.

After you’ve set your system up, be sure to follow the directions outlined in your wireless home security system owner’s manual to test your new installation. Your custom system solutions will vary based on the security company you choose to go with. Make sure you have all the working parts to your system and that they’re properly configured and connected to ensure your maximum safety.
What to Look for in Your System
When building your own home system, there are a couple of things you’ll want to ensure you have:
Main Panel: The main panel is the brain of your custom wireless home security system. You’ll use your devices to activate and deactivate the system as it connects with your panel.
Sensors: Every alarm system should include window and door sensors that react when the window or door is opened. You may need a different number of sensors based on how many entry points your home has or your personal preference.
Motion Detectors: Motion detectors are typically positioned in corners and react when motion is detected in the room. Some advanced motion detectors are able to record video when movement is detected. Depending on your custom system preferences, you can choose to incorporate these technologies as well.
