Shepwell Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Being based more on the specialist ANPR side of the market and so forth, Intruder alarms wireless kit is it now secure enough and reliable enough stability built in encryption and very difficult to circumvent or are we still better of with cable ? Looked at some of the new Texe stuff but I'm still a bit wary of it all? I can see the install benefits but maybe it's just me nothing beats a good bit of copper!

datadiffusion Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 From the simple point of no batts to change, and if the wire is already in, great performing DTs at half the price of wireless ones, it's cable for me when I can.

Shepwell Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 Superb thanks, do you think wireless is a safe option though? Especially for a monitored system is the false alarm rate low? Prone to interference accidental or hostil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datadiffusion Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Its a bit 'how long is a piece of string' to be honest. You never know what external influences could suddenly turn up (next door radio enthusiast, 4G, 5G) to ruin your day, wireless wise. I've even had sites where signal strength was ruined in the winter due to thick basement walls taking on water.

ElecTech Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 If you can wire, then wire, if you can't wireless is a good secondary option... Dependant on the factors above. If it's a toss up, then wiring is always the best bet. I hardly fit wireless or do domestic installs really but by all accounts the 2 way wireless is secure and yes it is safe. False alarms are dependant on what datadiffusion said, you'll never be certain no matter how good the install is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
