Yes, hardwired is the way to go. In embassies they even go as far as contracting two or more companies to change these and that part of the system so that no one company knows were everything is.

If thieves are jaming your alarm system to get into your house the forsure you have alot of valuables they know of and you went cheap on your security system lol

If you disable our security cam that's ok. Our dogs bark like crazy when they hear anything. They won't bite you but they will bark their heads off.

Don’t they have professional monitoring where the security company will call the police? When jammed the security company should know something’s wrong?

[@condedecuba4349]

That's what they tell us the consumer but I know someone who is going through this and nothing is showing ...

[@noname53281]

No they stop the signal from going to the security system. They don’t get an alert!
