Wired or Wireless Analogue / IP CCTV cameras

Should I use wired, (cabled), or wireless analogue CCTV cameras? 
Choosing whether to use wired or wireless should be an easy decision.
There is only one question to ask: can I run a cable from my camera to recorder? If the answer is “yes” then you should always run a cable. If it is very difficult to cable then using a wireless camera may be an option, but only as a last resort.
Advantages of a cabled CCTV camera:
  • Reliability – a physical cable will always be a lot more reliable than a wireless camera
  • Less chance of interference – wireless cameras are prone to interference from many sources
  • Less expensive – wired cameras generally cost less
  • More professional – wireless cameras are only used in cheaper home systems
  • Security – wired cameras are very difficult to jam. Wireless cameras can be blocked very easily by many different pieces of electronic equipment, eg: Wireless Access Points, mobile phones, microwave ovens, TV’s, two way radio equipment, gaming equipment, energy efficient lighting, the list goes on....
  • Privacy – nobody else can see the cameras on your CCTV system, (CCTV means “Closed Circuit”), wireless cameras can be easily viewed by anybody with the right receiver, including your nosey neighbour!
  • Generally better quality.
  • Wired cameras can be connected to just about any CCTV recorder. Wireless cameras need specific wireless receivers, so they generally can’t be used from one system to another.
  • Higher quality CCD image sensor, gives a clearer, better balanced picture. Many wireless cameras use cheaper CCD sensor, the images look murkier.
  • Huge range of cameras to choose from, from Rs. 2500 up to Rs. 7500, wired cameras are available to suit just about any need, no matter how specialised.
Advantages of a Wireless CCTV Camera
  • Easy for non-professionals to install
  • Can work out cheaper – ideal for when capturing reliable, clear images isn’t important
  • Easy to receive the images with cheap wireless receivers – your friends and neighbours can easily see the images from your cameras too.
So there you have it, the answer is clear, never, ever use a wireless camera solution if you can avoid it. If you need to use a wireless solution because of the long distance involved, then use wireless transmitter.

5 Important Locations in Your House That Need To Be Secured
1.     Front Door
Experts state that almost 34% of all intruders enter through the front door. You will have to select a safe location for this camera and preferably place a protective covering over it so that the risk of tampering is minimized.
2.     Back Door
Expert state that 22% of all intruders use the back door hence this is also an important spot to place a surveillance camera. Make sure you place it at a location where it is out of reach and safe from projectiles.
3.     Off-Street Windows
Burglars often use windows that are not visible from the streets, to break into houses as this reduces their chances of being caught. Motion detectors or glass-break detectors are designed to detect such break-ins.
4.     Backyards
These can be an ideal place for robbers or burglars to start off at night. Night-vision surveillance cameras can be used in backyards along with motion-sensor floodlights.
5.     Basement Stairs
Basements usually have multiple small entry points like hatches, doors or windows which can be used to sneak in. A motion sensing alarm can be placed here to help catch any intruders.
Whether, its wired or wireless, surveillance cameras play a central role in protecting you and your loved ones. Installing surveillance cameras at the right points and keeping on top of your security system is essential and necessary.
