A wireless home alarm system has the main advantage of doing away with the need to run cables around your house.

Passive infra red sensors and magnetic door contacts are independently battery powered and transmit a radio signal to a control unit when movement is sensed. This in turn triggers the alarm.

A wireless home alarm system can be set using a remote key fob switch which can also work as a mobile panic alarm.

As there are no cables to install, the whole set up process is easier and quicker to install.

Higher grade systems tend to offer a repeater unit which increases the transmission range so that outbuildings may also be protected.

The only disadvantage of the wireless home alarm system is that you must replace the batteries in the sensors. Not ideal…
