There has been a rise in interest in the installation of wireless alarm systems, particularly with the increased demand for smart home devices. This is because wireless alarm systems are more convenient and have many advantages over their wired counterparts. Some of the benefits of a wireless alarm system are:

• They are easier to install - Installing a wireless alarm system eliminates the need to damage existing walls and floors to install cables
• They are more resistant to damage - Removing cables and connections limits the amount of hardware that can be tampered with or damaged over time
• They can be relocated - If you decide to reposition your alarm system, or if you move house, the wireless alarm system can be un-installed and relocated with ease
• They can be controlled and monitored remotely - from a smartphone, remote control or another wireless device

Installing a wireless alarm system might seem like a simple task, but getting professional help is always advised for the following reasons:

1. Your wireless alarm system might be defective. If you don't have the skills or knowledge to correctly test or identify issues with the alarm system then you might not be aware of the fault until it's too late.

2. Installing the sensors and detectors in the right places is difficult. Installing them in the wrong places can compromise your safety and security, it isn't as simple as just putting on a sensor in each room and hoping for the best. The sensors and detectors need to be placed strategically to work as they should.

3. You have nobody liable for maintaining the wireless alarm system except yourself. Even if you manage to install a wireless alarm system yourself, maintaining it and identifying issues later down the line might be tricky.

At IDS we offer wireless fire and intruder alarm systems that can be installed just about anywhere. We have in-house specialists who you can talk to over the phone to establish the perfect kind of wireless alarm system for your requirements.

We can design, install and maintain whichever wireless alarm system you choose, making the process incredibly easy and dramatically reducing the likelihood of an accidental safety or security breach due to poor installation.

People often think that installing a security camera system by themselves is going to be a simple task, but that’s not always the case. Depending on the scale and type of surveillance system you to install, the planning, design, installation, and maintenance required can vary.

If we break down the installation of a typical security camera system, including a couple of cameras and a standard monitor, it would look something like this:

1. Decide where you want your surveillance camera(s) to be installed
2. Select and purchase appropriate security camera(s) – either as a complete package or individually
3. Set up your monitor
4. Test all of the equipment prior to installation
5. Install the camera(s)
6. Link the cameras to your computer/monitor
7. Maintain the system

While following these steps is fairly easy to do, the entire process can be unnecessarily costly and extremely time-consuming. At IDS Security Systems, we have a team dedicated to designing, installing and maintaining security camera systems, so you can enjoy a high level of security around your home or business with none of the hassle. We stay up to date on the latest developments and changes throughout the security industry, so that you don’t need to spend hours researching which security cameras are the best on the market.

Please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us if you think that we can assist you in installing security cameras yourself. Simply call 029 20 753 251 to speak to someone in our Cardiff office, or click the button below to send us an enquiry.

Research shows that homes containing no security measures are almost five times more likely to be targeted by criminals than those with the simplest of security measures.

It’s not just the main living area of the home that’s at risk of break-ins; burglaries involving garages are incredibly common. These places often store cars, bikes, tools and other valuables that can attract thieves, especially if you don't have any visible security systems in place.

Despite this, many homeowners still don't know how to properly secure their garages with sufficient security systems.
