I plan to install alarm to my new house but undecided over wireless or wired alarm? Which one is better if we take the price out from consideration.
My biggest concern for wireless alarm is the battery life, how long it can be used before need to change the battery? Any insight on this LYN forumers? Thanks! |

QUOTE(Serofax @ Jun 28 2011, 03:29 PM) got wireless motion sensors. You mean even wireless also need to hack the wall to conceal the cable?wiring involved for wireless alarm, is just the power lines for the control panel + external siren box. so far battery life for each sensor i'm experiencing is approx 1.5-2 years with indicator.

Motion sensor required more battery power. Replacement will be really costly, can you imagine changing 20 Lithium Ions battery? Assuming RM 15 for one battery, you do the math. That is assuming you have 2 motion sensor, and 12 shock sensor. If you have more you buy more. Thanks weikee for the explanation. RM15 per battery serious? How come the wireless alarm salesman tell me each battery is only RM2.50??My knowledge in wireless alarm are limited, i know more on Wired cause my friend do for commercial and bank. I'll say a good wired alarm system with good wiring are maintenance free. For wireless maybe just a simple system is ok, for entire house coverage wired are better.
