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.
