Alarm System Installations

Quality Alarms takes tremendous pride in the quality of our installations. While some of our competitors focus on installing as many systems as they can in the shortest time possible, we approach each installation with great care and pride. Our installers have a wealth of experience from the smallest residential systems to large commercial and industrial installations.

Our goal is to create customers for life. One of the best ways to do this is to provide systems that will require as little maintenance and repair as possible. We select high quality components and use installation methods designed to keep your system trouble free.

“Hard wired” or “Wireless” Sensors?

A hardwired sensor, such as a motion sensor or door contact, uses a small cable (similar to a telephone or network cable) to supply power to the sensor and to transmit alarm signals back to the alarm panel. A wireless sensor uses a small battery to supply power to the sensor and a radio frequency transmitter to transmit alarm signals back to the alarm panel.

More and more security companies are choosing to install wireless alarm systems because they are quick and easy to install, and can be put in by less experienced installers. But wireless systems require more maintenance and cost more to repair than hardwired systems. For these reasons we only use wireless devices when it is impractical to get a wire to the location.
