Look for long life battery power, too. Lithium sensor batteries, for example, can last three to five years. When they do run low, the system lets you know well in advance.

If you will be installing smoke alarms you’ll need the extra power of a 24 hour battery back up, not the 4 hour back up offered by many manufacturers.

Quickly, this unreliability motif turned into a stamp that was slapped over anything involving wireless home security and although reliability and stability constantly went up during the years, people still preferred traditional methods over it.
