I too read the wired vs wireless debates and concluded that unless you
really want the home automation type features it was just sour grapes
from "professional" alarm installers losing their "bread and butter"
income for both install and yearly "services".

Well as a radio comms and broadcast engineer I wonder why I have most
everything here wired rather than "Wireless"?..

The main problem is that these devices operate in licence exempt
frequency bands and several devices and other equipment's share
frequencies and channels . OK if you live in the middle of nowhere but
even in this somewhat secluded area I can "see" no less than 12 wi-fi
nets here, only half of them secured properly!..


(I requested a quote from a "pro" who wouldn't even come out to look
and just quoted me £1500 !!! which it seemed would be abt 1200 for
him....)



Insurance co discounts are not worth it so fit a wireless & don;t tell
'em.
