In recent years, the intrusion alarm industry has been in a relatively stable development state. Wireless alarm system, as an important component of intrusion alarm systems, has had a considerable period of development. However, due to the limitations of the overall application in the intrusion alarm industry, wireless alarm system has not been accepted by the public for a long time of development.

Technically speaking, wireless alarm system is an intrusion alarm system that detect electrical signals transmitted by space electromagnetic waves. In some cases, where prevention sites are scattered or inconvenient to assume transmission lines, wireless alarm system has its unique role. In order to achieve wireless transmission, it is necessary to add wireless channel transmitters and receivers between the wireless detector and the wireless intrusion alarm panel.

1 Advantages of wireless alarm system

In recent years, wireless alarm system has emerged in the entire security field and entered a golden stage of development. Because there is no need for special wiring, installation is convenient and fast, and the stability is enhanced through technological improvements. The application rate of wireless alarm technology in intrusion alarm and smart home market has also been significantly improved.

Compared with wired alarm system, wireless alarm system has performed very well in both intrusion alarm and smart home applications. In addition to meeting the needs of home environments and maintaining the aesthetics of indoor decoration, what is more important is that it does not require wiring and is easy to install. In addition to its convenience in engineering, it also has a very obvious advantage in construction cost. These are also the main breakthrough directions for wireless alarm system to establish their own application advantages.

2 Disadvantages of wireless alarm system

Compared to wired alarm system, wireless alarm system does demonstrate more user demand and technological advantages. Moreover, security professionals are also quite optimistic about the prospects of wireless alarm system.

However, what we cannot ignore is that although wireless alarm system has very convenient and cheaper features in installation. However, in the later maintenance, it is obviously more complex than wired alarm system. In addition, due to the fact that wireless alarm system relies more on wireless radio frequency to control devices, it is difficult to ensure that the frequencies of different devices do not conflict with each other in the current world where radio is widely used. This will inevitably lead to a decrease in the working ability and accuracy of related equipment. And this undoubtedly brings more doubts to security application environments that require higher accuracy and performance.

For wired alarm system, its high stability, low cost of maintenance and upkeep are their biggest characteristics. From the perspective of professionalism in security requirements, this higher stability characteristic is precisely what is required for security equipment or what professional security units need the most. Meanwhile, this is also the biggest advantage of wired alarm system competing with wireless alarm system.

3 The combination of wireless alarm system and wired alarm system

In fact, by comparing the characteristics of wired alarm system and wireless alarm system, we can easily see that their complementarity is still very strong. We can completely use the wireless alarm system and the wired alarm system as backup options for each other.

Therefore, instead of comparing the advantages and disadvantages of wireless alarm system and wired alarm system, it is better to choose the appropriate technology according to different locations. For example, the financial industry, military industry and other places pursue stability, and wireless alarm system and wired alarm system can be used at the same time. When one alarm system channel is blocked, the other alarm system channel serves as a backup, making it safer to use in combination.

Objectively speaking, in situations where both advantages and disadvantages are equally evident, market segmentation is undoubtedly the main trend for future applications of different alarm systems. Therefore, in the application market, wireless alarm system should launch different products for different markets. With the development of the Internet of Things and cloud computing technology, the digitization, intelligence, stability, and compatibility of wireless alarm system will also become the mainstream technology development trend in the future. For users, this is undoubtedly good news.
