If this siren is wireless, why does it need to be plugged in. no outlet near where i want to install it

It is wireless in its communication with the bridge that interfaces with the software or app. It needs a power source. It does have a 9 volt battery backup.

The battery provides backup power, but my guess is the loud sound cannot be driven for a long time by a simple battery and thus requires external power.

this unit has to be hard wired. no plug. i remove the old one and installed this one in it's place if you are handy, it is not a hard job. it really looks nice when it's installed.

Yes it does need to be connected by the wire. The nice thing is that if someone breaks in and hears the reminder (to turn off unit) beep and smashes the unit, removes the batteries or cuts the wire to the external siren; the external siren will still go off. You can get a extention wire online or any electronics store if needed. Placing the external siren where it can't be quickly found by an intruder is important. I hope this helps. G.W.

No, this cannot be plugged in. It should be installed by a qualified electrician.

By default it needs to be plugged in. I think there are wireless dongles for it also.

You can power it from an outlet, however the alarm bell will sound continuously. You will need to wire in a switch of some sort to avoid this.

The unit isn't wireless. It requires being either hard wired to a 12v electrical system in a car, or being plugged into a cigarette lighter, again 12v.

It isn't "wireless" as in the internet. It doesn't have wires. The plug is right inside the unit and folds in when not being charged.

This siren requires 12V to operates and a connection to the Alarm panel trigger by wire or using a wireless relay.

You either need to hardwire it or get a pigtail to plug it in. I suggest hardwiring it.

I believe it must be plugged in. The speakers do not "fit" into the sides of the main unit either.

Yes the external siren needs to be connected to the main alarm but I haven't try it yet and I am sure it wouldn't be any problem good luck

Unit needs to be hardwired or its gonna start chirping under battery only operation. Return it and get a battery only operated unit.

I am really not certain. I just have mine plugged in and tuned to my location and I get all of the alerts, including the "this is only a test, if this had been an actual emergency" Sorry I could not be of more help

You would have to wire this into your outlet. There are no plugs as part of this unit.
