The main alarm panel needs wiring to all home security components

Posted by Felipe Penaloza on

Home alarm wiring is needed to interconnect the parts of all hardwired home security systems.The main alarm panel needs wiring to all home security components in the system, as well as to power, telephone, and any other input or output devices you may want.

With all the framing exposed, it’s easy to drill holes, run burglar alarm wire, and install mud rings or boxes wherever they may be needed. This also makes it easy to co-ordinate with the electricians on any special power or lighting connections for the alarm system.

Pre-wiring is also a good time to “future-proof” the home to some degree. You can run extra cables for options you don’t need now, but may want in the future. This might include additional keypad locations, motion detectors, home automation and lighting control, etc.

Running home alarm wiring in an existing house generally takes much more time and effort than prewiring.

Fishing wires can be difficult, and some areas of a house may not be accessible at all.
