Looking to setup alarm system in my house and looking at both wired and wireless options. I am leaning towards wireless to save on costs from having to hire an electrician to do the installation assuming wireless will be DIY.
Is there much difference in performance and reliability with using wireless alarm system over a wired one or drawbacks ?
If wireless is also a good option, can anyone please also recommend good product ? If it can be integrated with a google home, that would be a plus.
IMHO traditional security systems are not worth the hassle and cost. I'd suggest a cheap wireless system to monitor from corridor and back entry/ living is enough.
I've done my Bosch system myself, I've got 3 false alarms in 2 years. My neighbour got it installed it professionally and he gets false alarms much more often. Nowadays most neighbours ignore the alarm due to this.
So, I'd suggest cheap wireless system to alert you and 1-2 wiress ptz cameras inside at critical points E.g inside garage and usual set of cameras outside would do.
If I could redo, I'll just use IKEA motion sensor with smartthings. I may throw in a buzzer too.
