A wireless home security system can greatly enhance the security of your home. Relatively easy to install due to their wireless nature, they are also relatively inexpensive. A wireless home security system generally consists of several key components. These include wireless door and/or window transmitters, a wireless passive IR motion detector, and a base unit, which is the “brains” of the system.
The wireless door or windows transmitters are mounted on a door or window and send a signal to the base unit if the door or window is opened. The passive IR motion detector can be mounted in a room or hallway, and is designed to detect motion by sensing body heat. They are also designed to send a signal to the base unit, this time whenever motion is sensed. These passive IR motion sensors are adjustable to prevent false triggering by indoor pets.
