First of all, Vicom
Systems sells both wired and wireless systems. This is an important point.
Since we offer both choices, we don't need to suggest one over the other, except
to give you the
best possible security system.
Although there has been
a recent trend for alarm companies to push for the installation
of wireless alarm systems, it should not be considered as your primary choice
for security.
The fact of the matter is that when a wired alarm system is professionally installed,
you will receive more reliable security with fewer false alarms,
fewer visible components, reduced ongoing expenses, and more options for upgradeability
in the future.
When an alarm company's
first choice is to suggest wireless, be suspicious.
If they are doing it because it is easier for them, or because it increases
their bottom line,
then they are working in their best interest, not yours!
Wireless does have its
place as an alternate choice when wired systems may not be possible or practical.
Vicom Systems will help you make the best choice; wired or wireless.
