Do you need a phone line for a home security system?




Just curious, we have a little office space, but are using cell phones – haven’t hooked up a phone line. I want to get the "Mace Wireless Home Security System" from Walmart, but do I need a phone line for that to work? It dials numbers so I’m assuming it has to be connected to a phone line. Just wondering because I can’t buy it from the store, so I need to know ahead of time if I’m in for making another bill for phone service.

I recently installed a wireless home security systems (ADT), and now I am noticing a clicking emanating from my home theater system. I am wondering if it is caused by the new security, and if so, how can I fix it?

A bit of detail on the clicking: it is similar to, but not the same as, the phone interference caused by certain (GSM) phones.

What is the best wireless home security system?
Finding the best wireless security system for your home can be confusing, as there are so many types of security equipment and systems available and there are many variables in choosing the right kind of system for your home.





Start by doing some basic research and find out what are some of the most sold kinds, types and brands of wireless home security products. Several of the companies that specialize in home security like ADT offer 24/7 monitoring of your home and alarms, so that if your home is breached by an intruder, the authorities are notified immediately and someone is sent to the home.
There are motion detectors, motion sensors as well as camera monitoring that can be recorded and checked back with either a DVR or via internet remotely. Typically, the biggest brands dealing with wireless home security systems are Honeywell, Brinks, ADT, Guardian and GE.
Another word to the wise, when looking for a home security system is making sure that there is a backup power supply so that if local power is down, you will not have a failure of your home alarm system. Make sure that you have adequate replacement batteries or some sort of contingency plan for alternate backup power supply for your home protection system.
Another resource to consider is to have window and door alarms properly installed. These home security devices are inexpensive as can be and are very effective. When activated they set off an alarm. Most homes with the best home security have this kind of configuration in place.
As far as cost, you may want to get different prices from 2 to 3 different services of companies. Some charge around $500 to $700 for a system installed and then there is a monthly maintenance fee.  If you are considering a do-it-yourself system, I would check around to find out the various systems and what features they have. Also consider if it is actually worth the trouble to install a wireless security system in your home by yourself or if it is simpler to let the professionals handle the job and be secure in knowing it is set up correctly from the beginning.
Home security is such an important issue, that it is sometimes best to just let the experts handle the whole task of installation and maintenance so that you and your family can rest assured that you do not have to think twice about your comfort and safety at home.

How Safe Are Wireless Home Security Systems?




Are wireless home security systems safe? Info from the Brickhouse Security say "Wireless Home Security Systems are fully wireless and have built-in power supplies; even if the phone, power and Internet connections are down, your Wireless Home Security System will continue to monitor and protect your property. This feature will come in handy if an intruder cuts the power and phone lines, or there is a blackout and burglars are on the prowl." Does this mean that the system has its own cell-phone built-in or uses a satellite so it could notify the PD and if so doesn’t a burglar need nothing but a signal disrupter? No I’m not a burglar, just curious in how it works and how safe it really is. We all know if you have an alarm set to the phone-line someone can cut the lines, if you have digital phone someone can just turn the power off your house, or do both. So can a disrupter knock out the system signals? The real question is, "How safe are any Home Security Systems?"
