How do wireless security systems work?
Most wireless home security systems are extremely simple -but effective. A wireless home security system will include some form of security device(s) e.g. door sensor/motion sensor etc which sends a radio signal to a radio receiver to trigger the alarm.

- activate an alarm
- automatically call your phone numbers or security companies or police force
- automatically send a text message to designated numbers
