Just had this discussion today, and I wanted to get the community's take on this. Should you use wireless intrusion devices? Is wireless as reliable as wired?

For context, here's the comment that kicked things off:

"This is why I only care to use wireless when running a hard wire is not an option. Yes, I see benefits to wireless but the downside are these DIY systems that allow anybody to play "security technician". I trust hard wired system. When something needs to be troubleshot, you have a path, a method, a logical conclusion. When wireless goes bad, you swap the board and hope the next one doesn't do the same thing. There is a benefit to having a proud, knowledgeable, experienced installer securing your family or property and it's better than just trying to save a few bucks DIYing."
