Wired vs Wireless Cameras

• Which are Better?

2

• When it comes to increasing the security for your
  home or business, theres only one real option
  surveillance cameras. Once only reserved for the
  most lucrative of businesses or wealthy of
  individuals, modern security cameras are much
  more affordable while also being capable of
  recording higher quality video and audio.
• However, theres one very important question that
  you need to answer before you go ahead and get a
  security camera system installed in your home or
  place of business. Youll have to decide between
  having a traditional wired surveillance camera
  system installed or a more modern wireless system
  instead.

Wired Cameras Arent Obsolete

• It may be tempting to think that older security
  cameras are obsolete because they have older
  technology, but the truth of the matter is that
  there are several advantages to relying on this
  well-tested and reliable surveillance method. One
  of the most important reasons to use wired
  cameras is that theyre not susceptible to
  hacking in the same way that wireless cameras are
  as theres no over-the-air transmission of
  data, the video and audio feed cant be
  intercepted or redirected in any way.
  Additionally, because these cameras do transmit
  over a closed data line theres little to no
  chance of interference causing a drop in signal
  quality.
• However, wired cameras do of course have
  disadvantages as well. These cameras are usually
  larger than wireless cameras and often cost
  significantly more as well additionally, with
  the requirement of having to run both data and
  power cables to each individual security camera
  in your system this can also add to the cost of a
  system if you have it professionally installed.
  Meanwhile, unless youre adept at running power
  and data lines through your home behind walls,
  under floorboards, or in the ceiling, youre
  likely to have to rely on a professional either
  way.

Wireless Cameras Cheap and Easy

• This is where wireless cameras shine. Not only
  are they typically less expensive than a wired
  camera, they can be placed nearly anywhere you
  want inside or around your home or business, as
  long as theyre in range of the wireless receiver
  that the camera sends its video and audio feed
  to. These are two major advantages when combined
  with the fact that its easy for an amateur to
  set up an entire wireless camera system, its an
  attractive option for those looking to save on
  security expenses.
• On the other hand, wireless cameras do suffer
  from poor signal quality if theres interference
  from things like inclement weather, other
  wireless devices, and even atmospheric conditions
  like sunspots. The other major disadvantage to
  wireless cameras is that even though theres no
  need to run a data cable from each camera, each
  of your wireless cameras will still require
  power. This means youll need to either position
  each camera close enough to a power outlet, or
  spend some extra money to get a rechargeable
  battery pack for each of your wireless cameras.
