If you are a DIYer check out the warranty requirements for the hard wired version I believe there state you need to have it installed by a tech.
I don’t think this is the case anymore. Their website states improper installation would void the warrantee, and they strongly recommend having it professionally, but it is not a requirement.
I don’t have an EMS....yet. It is on my list, and like the op, I’m trying to decide between the hardwired and portable unit. The portable is a tad more expensive and there is always the potential for theft, even if locked.
The hardwired needs a place for it to be installed, requires a bit of work to do so (not afraid of a little work), and from what I hear - can’t confirm - they can be a little noisy. On the other hand, I’ll never forget to use it, and theft would be a non-issue.
