In this fourth and final blog of the series devoted to electronic alarms, we explore a key issue for the selection and installation of an ad hoc electronic alarm system. Let us see the logic on which a choice between a wired and a wireless system is based.
As we saw in the first post in this series devoted to electronic alarm systems, a meticulous and knowledgeable selection of all the system components is essential for it to be effective.
After presenting the features to be always kept under consideration when choosing a siren, let’s now look at another essential element: the sensors.
An alarm system is like a chain; its effectiveness depends on the capability of its weakest link. Therefore, in order to be truly effective, all the components must be up to the job and the design and installation must also be done in a workmanlike manner. We will see step by step which features to look for in the main components which typically form an electronic alarm system for the home: siren, sensors and dialer.
In this first blog we will discover which features a siren must have in order to best perform its role of raising the alarm.

Protecting one’s home or material goods is not the only concern in our daily life nowadays. It is always worth remembering how important it is to safeguard one’s own privacy, that is, to limit and/or control potential access to personal, private and confidential information.

The best way to ensure confidentiality is to control access to the information.
