Outdoor Wireless/ Wire Security Cameras – All You Need to Know


A little research can go a long way in ensuring that the right equipment is purchased at affordable prices. Most security equipments have a number of options available in the market and improper understanding can either lead to a bad purchase or an unnecessary purchase. Let us understand the basics of outdoor wireless security cameras that will help you in buying the right outdoor camera for your security system.

Different Outdoor Wire / Wireless Security Cameras

Analog and Digital Cameras

These are the time-tested devices that have been used since a long time in different security systems. They can be connected to the video surveillance systems through wires. These cameras are less expensive as compared to their digital counterparts but they are difficult to install.

Power

You can use wired devices that can be powered by connecting their wires to the central power unit. A better option is the wireless camera that does not need wiring but needs to be connected to power outlets. In case you are installing cameras where power outlets are not available and cannot be made available, then consider using wireless cameras that run on batteries. These cameras can be easily installed at any place but need to be constantly monitored for battery changes.

Lux Number

Outdoor Cameras are exposed to different lighting conditions throughout the day and these conditions also vary in different weathers. Use cameras with low Lux number which signifies that the cameras can cope with dim lighting conditions. You should also invest in night vision cameras that use infrared technology to capture images even in pitch dark conditions.

Weather Proofing

Cameras are sensitive electronic equipments and hence, they need to be protected from the vagaries of nature. While investing in an expensive camera make sure that you also buy a weather proof casing to guard your camera from excessive heat and moisture. In very cold regions, cameras with insulated casings should be purchased. For hot weather conditions, casing with exhausts will come handy.

Protection from Vandalism

It is important to protect your equipment from vandalism. Buy an outdoor camera with sturdy material. Use a casing that can protect any on-the-spur attack on the camera. You can also buy dome-shaped cameras and casing that gel well with the surroundings and make these camera less visible, thereby, protecting them from any danger.

Ideal Transmissions

Using wireless devices has a drawback that there signal transmission can be weak. Make sure that you buy equipments that can transmit data over the distance that you require. Factors such as big trees, metals in the walls and bad weather can hinder wireless transmissions. Hence, it always better to invest in good devices with wide transmission range. You can also invest in good quality signal receivers that can capture low quality inputs as well.

Picture and Sound – While selecting a camera, pay special attention to its picture quality. A low screen resolution will not be able to give quality inputs. Audio wireless outdoor security cameras can also be purchased with audio compatible devices.
