Installing security cameras offers several benefits:

Deterrence: Visible security cameras act as a deterrent to potential intruders and burglars, reducing the likelihood of break-ins or vandalism.
Evidence: Security cameras provide valuable evidence in case of criminal activity, aiding law enforcement in investigations and increasing the likelihood of apprehending perpetrators.
Monitoring: You can monitor your property remotely, allowing you to keep an eye on your home or business even when you're away. This feature is especially useful for checking in on pets, monitoring deliveries, or ensuring the safety of family members.
Peace of Mind: Knowing that your property is under surveillance can provide peace of mind, especially when you're not physically present. You can rest assured that your home or business is protected around the clock.
Insurance Benefits: Some insurance companies offer discounts on premiums for properties equipped with security cameras, as they reduce the risk of theft and damage.
Prevent False Claims: Security cameras can help prevent false claims or disputes by providing visual evidence of events that occur on your property, such as accidents or incidents involving employees or visitors.

Overall, installing security cameras enhances the safety and security of your property, provides peace of mind, and offers valuable evidence in case of criminal activity or disputes.

Wired VS Wireless

Safeguarding your residence has become simpler with the availability of security camera systems. Whether opting for wireless or wired cameras, you can keep tabs on your home while away on vacation or during work hours. While you’re at home, the system serves as an additional layer of surveillance for your property.

Wired cameras necessitate more time and effort for installation but provide heightened reliability. On the other hand, wireless security cameras are cost-effective and can be set up swiftly. However, potential drawbacks include network failures and susceptibility to on-site tampering.

Wired Security Cameras

Wired security cameras transmit both video and audio signals via a physical wire to a central hub. The captured footage can either be stored locally on the hub for later retrieval or transmitted beyond the confines of the home through a network. This network enables users to either view the video feed in real-time or access it at a later time.

The electrical power for wired security cameras is delivered through a hardwired cable. This power supply can either originate directly from a power outlet or be transmitted through the same cable that connects to the central hub, known as the Power Over Ethernet (PoE) cable.

Typically, the central hub is positioned within or nearby the home. In some cases, it takes the form of a digital video recorder (DVR) linked to the cameras via coaxial cables. Alternatively, the hub may be a networked video recorder (NVR) system, particularly utilized with newer Internet Protocol (IP) cameras. Instead of coaxial cables, the NVR system employs PoE cables for connectivity.

Wireless Security Cameras

Wireless (and wire-free) security camera setups transmit footage captured by cameras positioned around the residence to the home’s Wi-Fi network, entirely eliminating the need for physical wires.

Upon reaching the Wi-Fi network, the transmitted signal is forwarded to a cloud server, where the footage is available for real-time viewing or stored for future retrieval. Some cameras come equipped with onboard micro SD cards, offering a limited capacity for storing footage.

Key features commonly found in wireless and wire-free security camera setups encompass night vision, two-way audio communication, 2K HD video resolution, and compatibility with voice control via various digital assistants like Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant.

It’s crucial to differentiate between wireless and wire-free systems. In wireless setups, video signals from the cameras are wirelessly transmitted to a central hub, whereas the cameras themselves are powered through wired connections.

On the other hand, wire-free cameras operate on battery power. Due to their reliance on batteries, wire-free cameras conserve energy by activating recording only upon detecting a signal. In contrast, wireless systems draw continuous power from the home and can record continuously or be configured to activate recording solely upon motion detection.
