Alarm systems to meet your security needs

In recent years, the shift from carpets to laminate or real wood flooring has transformed many homes. While visually appealing, these flooring types present challenges for alarm installers and tradespeople trying to conceal cables or pipework.

Traditionally, professional installers hesitated to recommend wire-free alarm systems due to concerns about their reliability in security-critical environments. However, advancements in battery technology, component miniaturization, and narrow-band radio technology have made wire-free systems a reliable and practical alternative to hardwired systems.

Modern wire-free alarm systems now operate on a narrow band (just 20KHz) within the 868.6625MHz radio frequency, ensuring enhanced performance and reliability. Think of it like comparing an AM radio station to crystal-clear DAB sound quality—it’s a game changer.
