Wireless Burglar Alarms
A wireless burglar alarm is built around a hub or control panel that talks to its detectors by radio, so the system goes in without running cable out to the detectors. This page holds those hubs, panels and kits: the Ajax Hub 2 Plus and the battery-powered Hub BP Jeweller, Hikvision AX PRO kits in 64-zone and 96-zone sizes plus the DS-PWA64-L-WE panel on its own, and the Pyronix Enforcer V11 ENF/KIT1-UK kit.

Choosing Wireless Burglar Alarms
Settle the make of hub first, because detectors, keyfobs and sirens are paired to a hub of the same make, then size it by device count, reporting paths and standby power.
Ajax hubs
The Ajax Hub 2 Plus is rated for 200 Ajax devices and 200 users, reports over Ethernet, Wi-Fi and two cellular SIM slots, and receives MotionCam photos over its Wings channel. The Hub BP Jeweller 93601.263.WH1 runs from internal and external batteries for vacant buildings, construction sites and other places without reliable mains, with up to 100 devices, two micro-SIM slots and external antenna connectors.
Hikvision AX PRO
Hikvision secures the AX PRO radio link with AES-128 and runs it two-way on 868 MHz. The DS-PWA64-L-WE panel takes 64 wireless zones, counting keyfobs, repeaters and sounders, and holds a 4520 mAh backup battery; the DS-PWA64-Kit2-WE kit is built around it. The DS-PWA96-KIT1-WE and DS-PWA96-Kit2-WE kits take 96 zones, or 48 PIRCAM devices, across 32 areas and support PIRCAM video verification.
Pyronix Enforcer
The Pyronix ENF/KIT1-UK is an Enforcer V11 hybrid kit with a two-way wireless panel, an onboard DIGI-Wi-Fi communicator, KX pet immune PIR detectors with a range of up to 10m, two wireless keyfobs and a wireless Deltabell module. The cover and backplate are not part of the kit.

Frequently asked questions
What is a wireless burglar alarm system?
A wireless burglar alarm system is an intruder alarm whose detectors, door contacts, keypads and sirens talk to a central hub or control panel by radio rather than through cables. The hub raises the alarm and can send alerts to a phone app or a monitoring centre. The range here includes wireless alarm hubs, a control panel and starter kits.
How do wireless burglar alarms work?
Wireless burglar alarms work by linking battery-powered detectors to a hub over a radio link, which is typically encrypted and two-way. When a sensor on an armed system detects movement or an opened door, it signals the hub, which sounds the sirens and sends alerts. Professional systems also check in with their devices regularly, so a missing or tampered sensor shows as a fault.
Are wireless burglar alarms any good?
Yes, a well-designed wireless burglar alarm can be reliable and secure, and it fits with little drilling or disruption to decor. Look for two-way encrypted radio, device supervision, tamper alerts and a backup battery in the hub. Detector batteries need occasional replacement, so check the expected battery life before choosing a system.
How do you install a wireless burglar alarm system?
Site the hub centrally, usually near power and the router, then pair the detectors, contacts and sirens to it in the app or on the keypad. Mount detectors to cover the likely entry routes, test the signal strength at the chosen spots, and add a repeater where the signal is weak. Monitored systems usually suit a professional installer.
