How Do You Detect A Wireless Home Alarm System?
Wireless alarms are easier to assemble and position than wired versions because of their lack of circuitry, though they present their own set of issues: You can spot the telltale signs of a wireless alarm system through careful observation. Check the location of sensors and receivers. Depending up the exact mechanics, a wireless alarm needs to be in a specific location in order for it to function. For example, a wireless alarm that depends on infrared signals will be placed near a door or a window, where an intruder might enter. The shift in heat signature from the intruder’s body will set it off. Or, if the wireless alarm is based on a motion-detection system, it will be placed high in the corner of a room so that it can scan the maximum amount of space. (Motion detectors usually send off ultrasonic signals, which return to them in a specific pattern. If that pattern is disrupted by someone entering the area, they will be set off.) Look for a central receiver or main control unit. All
