Before installing an alarm, it’s important to understand the different types available:
1. Wired vs. Wireless:
- Wired alarms are reliable but require professional installation.
- Wireless alarms are easier to install and more flexible but depend on batteries and WiFi.
2. Monitored vs. Unmonitored:
- Monitored systems alert a security service or the police when triggered.
- Unmonitored systems rely on loud sirens or push notifications to alert homeowners.
3. DIY vs. Professional Installation:
- DIY systems are cost-effective and easy to install but may lack advanced features.
- Professional installation ensures optimal setup and monitoring but comes with extra costs.
