a) Wired – Wired security system is the one in which all the security devices are connected with each other and control panel through wires.

b) Wireless – Wireless security system is the one in which devices have no wires for connection and operate on batteries. Such security system is easy to install as compared to the wired.

2. On the basis of monitoring :–

a) Self Monitored – In self monitored home security systems, the devices are taken care of by the owners or the deployed security personnel at the premises. It lies with them only to respond in their own way at the time of intrusion.

b) Professionally monitored – There are a lot of companies that provide monitoring services in addition to the security devices. These companies have their dedicated monitoring rooms and persons to have a watch on all the assigned homes, devices health, battery level, etc. At the time of intrusion attempt, the installed devices send a warning signal to the monitoring room and the dedicated person either informs the police or their own professionally trained rapid response team to tackle intruders.
