Alarm System Rough-In, Options for Use
Hi Everyone,
My house has all the alarm system wires roughed in by the builder back in 2010.
The previous owner renovated the basement and covered up all the wires that lead to the backyard door and windows
so I only have access to the front door/side window wires.
There are holes in my walls for the motion sensor & keypad rough-ins that's currently covered by blank wall plates.
Since wireless security systems seem to be more commonplace now (i.e. Ring), I was thinking of snipping all the wires & patching the holes in my wall.
The contractor I had at my house said he didn't want to patch the holes in my drywall (motion sensor & keypad) because it'll cause more headaches if we had to find the wires in the future.
Just wondering what others would do in my situation. Is my contractor right? Or would you also patch everything up and move on with a wireless system?
