The battery's longevity is a significant advantage, as it provides uninterrupted monitoring and alarm functionality over the years.

Ease of installation is yet another feature of the Ei 3100RF. The unit includes a simple mounting process that can be completed in a matter of minutes, making it accessible even for individuals without extensive DIY experience.
