i'm a complete newbie to security systems. so, i need your help. this is for my home which is a semi with side garage and flat roof.
i want to install a "basic" system - door sensors, pirs, glass sensors and alarm. not too bothered about cctv nor monitoring.
tell me, which is better, wired or wireless pirs?
please give me reasons why one is better than the other.
my friend says wireless pirs tend to give false alarms, say if mini-cabs or police pass by (whilst using their radios).
is this true?
but then, why wouldn't wired pirs also be set off by mini-cabs/police radios?
is it the pirs at fault? or "the brain"? ie the radio signal is intercepted by "the brain" and is then triggered?
also, please tell me which system to get. which make & model?
is it hard to wire everything up?
is it overly complicated? or are there easy, 1-2-3, step by step guides?
i'm fairly tech savvy, but really don't want to do anything more than "hooking things up".
i know i've asked a lot. thanks for any help you can give.
