i got kids in my house.. sometimes kids like to slam doors very hard, that cause my neighbours alarm to go off... Sometimes, the wind pushes my door and slams the door very hard -> neighbours alarm goes off..

As for my house, I set my shock sensor such that it only detects double shock before it triggers the alarm. Actually, all alarms can do that.. you just have to read the manual on how to program the shock sensor..

You mean even wireless also need to hack the wall to conceal the cable?

Thanks weikee for the explanation. RM15 per battery serious? How come the wireless alarm salesman tell me each battery is only RM2.50??

The only thing that wireless are the sensors only.

The control panel and powered by electricity. Also, there's the alarm box, that people put on the outside, so that neighbours and hear the
sound. The alarm box is connected by wires.. You have to hide the wires.


As for batteries, i think it depends on what type of battery they want to use..

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!

wired :
pros - maintenance free
cons - need to do wiring throughout the house..
- the wiring can get faulty .. possibly eaten by rat, or deterioriate itself
due to aging, or bad installation..

wireless
pros - no need wiring
- you change the sensor location anytime, anywhere. And maybe you
want to put the sensors on your cupboard or drawer if you like.. and maybe
stick it at your front gate if the sensor can withstand outdoor condition.
cons - need to change battery periodically..
- if the sensor is put on the roof, you need to climb your roof to change the battery.


As for me, if money not a problem, i'd go for wired, or maybe get both, so I can get
the advantages of both world.
