A wireless alarm system does come with some ongoing costs that homeowners should be aware of.

Batteries in sensors and devices typically need to be replaced about once a year, depending on usage and the number of components installed. This is a routine part of maintaining system reliability, as low batteries can affect performance or cause missed alerts.

In addition, most systems include a subscription fee for the mobile app or monitoring service. This fee covers features such as real-time notifications, remote access and in some cases professional monitoring support.

The iRISCO app gives homeowners full control of their burglar alarm system. Designed to work seamlessly with RISCO security systems, it lets you arm or disarm your alarm, receive real-time alerts, view system status, and monitor your home remotely from your smartphone.
