Wireless Receivers

Wireless receivers are used to add wireless functionality to compatible alarm systems. They receive signals from wireless devices and pass those signals back to the alarm panel or control system. This makes them useful for adding wireless detectors, wireless reed switches, remote controls or panic buttons to selected alarm systems.

Supported devices depend on the alarm brand, receiver model and system compatibility. Wireless receivers are commonly used with a range of alarm accessories to improve flexibility and coverage.

• Wireless motion detectors
• Wireless reed switches
• Wireless shock detectors
• Wireless panic buttons
• Wireless remote controls
• Wireless keyfobs and tokens
• Wireless smoke or environmental sensors, where supported
• Selected wireless alarm accessories

Shop wireless receivers and compatible alarm accessories from trusted security brands. Wireless receivers are usually brand and system specific, so compatibility should be checked carefully before ordering.

Wireless receivers are commonly used when a property needs additional alarm devices but cabling is difficult, expensive or not preferred. They are also useful for alarm upgrades and hybrid alarm system designs.

• Adding wireless detectors to existing alarm systems
• Expanding alarm coverage in homes and businesses
• Adding remote controls or wireless keyfobs
• Improving coverage in areas where cabling is difficult
• Hybrid wired and wireless alarm upgrades
• Townhouses, apartments and rental properties
• Small offices and retail stores
• Security system maintenance and replacement work

The right wireless receiver depends on your alarm panel, wireless device type, frequency, brand compatibility and installation requirements. Wireless alarm parts are not universal, so always confirm the receiver matches your existing system and accessories.

Wireless receivers are often used alongside other alarm accessories to customise and optimise your home or business security system.
