A wireless burglar alarm system is a security setup that uses radio frequency (RF) signals to connect sensors, cameras, and the control panel—without the need for hardwiring. This makes it ideal for quick installation, flexibility, and minimal disruption.

Can I install a wireless alarm system myself?

Yes, many DIY kits are available. However, for comprehensive security, professional installation is highly recommended. For example, Verisure provides expert installation as part of its home alarm packages to ensure optimal sensor placement, secure connectivity, and full system integration.

What is included in Verisure's professional installation service?

• A free home security assessment is carried out by an expert.
• A tailored system is designed to fit your specific property.
• A certified technician installs the equipment, ensuring all devices are strategically placed for maximum coverage.
• Devices are tested on-site, and you’re given a full walkthrough on how to use the system.

Do I need an internet connection to use a wireless alarm system?

Most wireless alarm systems need internet or mobile network (GSM/4G) connections to send alerts. Verisure's systems use a dual-connection (broadband and GSM) for added reliability, even if one network fails.

How long does it take to install a wireless alarm system?

Verisure professional installation is typically completed within just a few hours, making it fast, efficient, and hassle-free. Our trained technicians handle everything—from fitting and configuring your alarm devices to fully testing the system to ensure it’s working flawlessly. Once the installation is complete, they’ll guide you through how to use the system, including the mobile app, keypad, and any connected devices. You’ll receive hands-on training and expert advice, so you feel confident and in control of your home security from day one.

Is drilling required during installation?

Verisure installations are quick, non-intrusive, and professionally handled by trained technicians. Our experts ensure minimal drilling and disruption to your home or business, carefully installing each device for optimal performance and coverage. Whether it’s shock sensors, cameras, or control panels, every component is set up with precision to maximise your security and peace of mind — all without messy cabling or unnecessary damage to your property.

Can a wireless alarm system be moved if I change home?

Yes. Wireless systems are portable. If you’re a Verisure customer, their team can help reinstall the system in your new property as part of their service offering.

What happens if the power goes out?

Verisure systems include backup batteries and dual communication (broadband + GSM), so your system remains active and connected even during power outages.

How do I test the system after installation?

• Use the app or control panel to arm the system.
• Trigger each sensor intentionally (e.g., open a door or walk in front of a motion detector).
• Confirm that alerts are received and alarms sound appropriately.
• Verisure’s technicians perform a full system check after installation to ensure everything works as expected.
