Because a wireless network is not specific to your home computers, you must secure the network so that other people cannot access your wireless connection. Without security, anyone driving by with a laptop or iPod could access your internet connection and download items, or even access you personal information. Wireless security puts a password on your internet connection so that only the people you want using your internet will be able to access it.

∙ 11y agoWhen a sensor is tripped, say a door or window is opened the sensor will send a signal to the control unit. On a wired home security system the signal will be sent via the cable. On a wireless home security system the signal will be sent via radio waves. Radio waves can travel through a lot of stuff like walls. Which makes it ideal to be installed after a home has been constructed that was not pre-wired for a home alarm system.Wireless home security systems work very similar to their wired counter part. The main difference is the lack of wires running from each sensor back to the control panel.
