Hardwired sensors vs wireless... found out the hard way why one wins
I did a big install last month at a warehouse in Austin. 48 zones. Went wireless. Thought it would be faster. Man, I was wrong. The interference was brutal. Forklifts, radios, even the damn lights kept tripping false alarms. Spent 3 days troubleshooting. Swapped to hardwired and it's been rock solid for 2 weeks. Ever run into RF issues that bad on a wireless job?

Austin has some nasty RF environments, that's a fair point though.

Got any specific examples of what makes it nasty?

Forklifts, radios, even the damn lights" - sounds like the universe just really wanted you to use copper. Glad you got it sorted, hardwire is the only way to sleep at night.
