Costs for a wired home security system ringing alarm bells? We explore if it's worth the extra investment
"Wired home security systems are generally considered the most stable, ultra-secure choice for protecting your home. But, when picking the best home security systems, it's worth remembering that wired systems tend to cost more to install, and usually require a professional. That said, the upsides of a wired connection are considerable, and make them a great choice for a lot of properties where Wi-Fi based systems might struggle - such as homes with long driveways or Victorian and Georgian properties with thick walls."
"Wireless vs wired home security systems Many of the wireless home security systems on sale today, such as the Yale YES-ALARMKIT Home Security Essential Alarm Kit from Wickes, use either Wi-Fi or mobile connections to keep different components connected. By contrast, wired systems, such as the one offered by Simplisafe, rely on mains-powered cables to connect components and this is where the main difference lies. The components will be similar, but how they communicate between them is not."
Wired home security systems use physical cables to connect cameras, sensors, and alarms to a central control panel, often with backup batteries and keypads that can arm or disarm the system. Wired connections are more stable and less likely to disconnect due to router failures or depleted batteries. They work well in properties where wireless signals struggle, such as homes with long driveways or thick Victorian and Georgian walls. Installation typically costs more and usually requires a professional to run mains-powered cables. Monitoring often operates via landline or internet connections. The components are similar to wireless systems; the primary difference is communication method.
