"Wired & Wireless Alarms"

There are two types of intruder or burglar alarm systems: 
Wired alarms comprise a number of electronic sensors that are connected to a control panel by low-voltage wiring and are governed by the BS EN 50131 and BS 4737 series of standards. These are installed into new homes and into
existing homes during refurbishment as it is more convenient to run the wiring at these times.

Wireless alarms as the word suggests, use battery powered sensors that are ‘connected’ to a control panel by narrowband RF signals (radio signals). These used to be governed by BS 6799, but are now included in the BS EN 50131 series of standards for alarms. These are quicker to install and are used for homes where you don’t want to disturb the decor.  The sensor batteries have to be changed from time to time but they do have a good battery life of approximately  2 to 4 years.

When the sensor is triggered (by sound or a change of temperature, such as that caused by somebody moving in front of a sensor) the sensor will send a signal to the control panel. The control panel will then activate an internal and or external 
audible and visual alarm.
