Myths are an integral part of our culture. However, when it comes to myths about products that can potentially save your life, there is a need to bust them. After reading this article you will be able to know the truth behind the 7 most common wireless burglar alarm systems myths…and knowledge is power people!

Myth # 1: Wireless burglar alarms are expensive!

Like any new technology, a wireless burglar alarm system is very expensive when it first comes out. However, as manufacturing cost are cut due to technological advances in production, costs fall and so do prices. Many wireless alarm systems today are very affordable.

Myth # 2: Don’t I have to sign a contract?

This myth has been pushed by the big monitoring service companies (are there any big companies that are honest these days?). The truth is that you can buy your wireless burglar alarm system, install it yourself, and then program it to handle the calls on its own.

Myth # 3: Installing an alarm system requires a degree in “Being Awesome at Electrical Engineering”.

You really don’t need a degree to install the system. If you can humble yourself enough to read the instructions and not say, “I don’t need those, I know exactly what I am doing”, then you should be just fine. Just take it slow and read carefully.

Myth # 4: The monitoring company fees are just too high!

Here is where bargain hunting can come in handy. If you are buying a new T.V. do you just go to one store and buy the first one you see? No! You shop around to find the best value…do the same thing with your monitoring service.

Myth # 5: My cat/dog/hamster/rat/fish/ferret will trip the alarm.

I have great news for you! You don’t have to get rid of your pets in order to get an alarm system. New motion detectors are able to “see” the size of the object in question. This means that your rat looks nothing like a burglar to the alarm system.

Myth # 6: Wireless systems are less reliable than the French in a War.

It is true that early wireless systems where somewhat plagued with reliability issues. But never fear; modern systems are just as reliably as their wired counterparts! Manufactures have done a great deal to ensure that wireless systems are free from system interference.

Myth # 7: I am no computer science expert, so I cannot program this bloody alarm system!

Most home burglar alarms are so idiot proof that its really as simple as setting the time on a VCR. Of course nobody has a VCR anymore so this actually is a horrible argument. In all seriousness, all you have to do to setup your home burglar alarm is enter a call back number and register the sensors the main control panel. You can do that, can’t you?

Now use this burglar alarm info and go protect your home and family.
