In a study by the University of North Carolina at Charlotte where more than 400 incarcerated men and women who were convicted for burglary were interviewed, more than half stated they would look for an alarm before robbing a house and, if an alarm system was present, most would move on to another. Another study by ­­­­­Rutgers found that an increase in the number of home security systems in an area correlated with a decrease in the number of residential robberies, even for people who didn’t have their own security system.

Typically, you only need to be able to screw some cameras or sensors, or in some instances just stick them to the wall via tape adhesion. That means you don’t have to break, drill, fish, or run wires through your wall, and you could connect to your control box without having costly electrical installations. The larger the house, the bigger is the savings when it comes to wireless configurations. However, if your home is too large, you might need to go for hard wired to be able to have a more reliable security system. In general, a 2GHz system can keep constant connection with wireless components in about an acre worth of residential area. One disadvantage of the wireless system is that the components will eventually run out of battery life. It is therefore necessary to invest in a dependable battery backup system not only in case of emptying battery life but also to continue to protect your home even in the event of a power outage or a break in attempt by an intruder. Also, note that it is better to buy equipment that is powered by rechargeable batteries. They may have a larger upfront cost, but will prove to be more economical in the long run. Look for a system that notifies you or gives an alarm that can alert you if which batteries are running low. Or if you can, frequently test the components of your system and replace batteries regularly.
