Wireless security cameras have a wide variety of applications. These are small, battery powered video cameras. These cameras are designed to transmit the image signals to a receiving device without having to store them internally. The best part about these cameras is that they do not need wires to transmit the images and therefore allow remote monitoring of the video images.
These wireless security cameras can be used to safe guard one's property when out of the station against intruders. Modern technology allows the security cameras to get linked with the internet. This allows the users to keep a watch on their belongings even when away from home. The image signals can also be stored in a hard drive. These are the reasons why wireless security cameras are becoming so popular for security camera installation.
The main advantages of the wireless security cameras over the wired ones are as follows-
A wired camera has restricted movement facility. It needs to remain fixed at a particular position once installed. On the other hand a wireless security camera system has movement flexibility.
A wireless security camera is cost effective and therefore makes it easy to be used in places where constant monitoring is not required. Wired security cameras have higher maintenance costs and are location specific.
The wireless sets are small and inconspicuous and therefore are not easily detectable. It is but true that people tend to act differently when they know that they are being recorded. A smaller wireless surveillance camera is therefore more apt for security than a large wired device that can be easily detected. This makes the wireless sets more popular as intruders can be caught unaware.
The small and stylish wireless models are good to look at and can be installed anywhere without the wires running out to all places.
Installation of the wireless sets is much easier than the traditional wired security cameras. Experts are not needed for their installation and thus prove to be cost effective.
The image signals can get easily transferred to the control rooms within 300-500 feet of the cameras installation. This feature of the wireless security cameras allow them to be used for remote surveillance.
The advanced software used in these sets make them weather proof and allow the transmission of very clear signals. Wired sets on the other hand are prone to wear and tear and can affect the transmission quality if the wires get damaged due to some or the other reason.
Since the wireless sets are easy to install and have flexible movement facility they stand out to be cheaper than the wire sets.
