Hardwired

Hardwired Home Alarms

These are exactly what they say, all detectors and bells/sirens in the system are connected back to the alarm control unit by multi-core cables, which supply the power to the detectors and also monitor their signals. These wires are, wherever possible hidden from view by fitting them inside wall cavities, under carpets, through ceilings, under floors. Most panels have internal sounders as well as being connected to an outside siren/sirens and strobe lights, which are activated in an alarm condition.

The major costs in a hardwired system are the labour costs incurred in installing and concealing the wiring, rather than the cost of the equipment. Due to this, hardwired systems are nearly always sold with a property rather than removing and re-installing them into a new property when moving. These systems range from the very basic through to the very sophisticated. As well as warning of intruder activity, they can be used to: notify authorities of a medical emergency, monitor smoke detectors, monitor water levels or pressures, or even be linked into the house wiring to control heating, lights, baths, cookers etc., etc., with control via your mobile phone or computer.
