Wired Sirens
Wired sirens provide a reliable audible and often visual alert when your security system detects an intrusion or emergency. Unlike wireless models, these units connect directly to your alarm panel via cable, ensuring consistent power and eliminating concerns about battery replacement. They’re available in various configurations, from indoor-only models to weather-resistant outdoor units designed to withstand the elements, and many include strobe lights or LED indicators to provide a visual warning alongside the sound. When selecting a wired siren, consider the decibel rating to ensure it’s loud enough for your property size and ambient noise levels. Indoor sirens typically range around 100-110 decibels, while outdoor models may need to be louder to be effective. Think about whether you need visual signalling as well—strobes can be particularly useful in noisy environments or for alerting neighbours. Check compatibility with your existing alarm system and ensure the siren’s voltage requirements match your panel’s output to guarantee proper integration and performance.
