wireless alarms

However if you want an alarm to cover your property and you don't want to disrupt your decor then a modern wireless system will do the trick.

I take issue with this statement, you have obviously never seen a 'professional' alarm installation, I'll not bother to say more.

ps Well done in resurrecting this 2 year old thread.

There are ways and means I agree and I defer to the skill of installers who keep wires out of sight.
Modern built homes make wired systems difficult due to chipboard sheet flooring upstairs and concrete floors with laminate covering.
If they aren't first fixed then it can't often be done easily.
Housebuilders are now skipping putting in the first fix wiring any more as people accept wirefree more readily.

Wireless as its place but as the last solutions, systems that where hardwired 15 years ago are still ticking, I seriously don't see the wireless kits to last as long and can see more issues occuring.

The tailored way of a quality installer doing a tailerd and secure job will always be the number one route.

The wireless kit yes is know graded but its true grade will come with time and test both in its enviroment and the future burglars that get as technical as we do.

I love to see people bumping there products but not downgrading good quality advice.

On what evidence do you base your comments??
Why should there be a difference in longevity of 'the kit' between hardwired and wireless?

Technology moves on, i accept not all wireless kit is good but that view can also be applied to hard wired. This applies to all areas of the Security industry - Intruder/CCTV/Access.

see my thread above, the ESP series of wireless alarms are great. Mine has been perfect and it covers my shed in the garden with no problems and dials me if it activates. Only 2 false alarms in all this time.

Great
