Wireless Home Security Camera's
In the past,
wireless home security technology was considered inferior to its hardwired counterpart,
mostly because the latter had higher reliability since wireless technology was still at its
beginnings. Nowadays however, wireless home security systems caught up to hardwired ones and
they are equally reliable and can dish out similar performance.
In addition, the
fact that wireless home security systems are a lot easier to install and don’t require
any heavy modifications in the house interior’s structure, has made them even more
popular. It’s the case with wireless home security cameras, which gain more and more
acceptance amongst home owners over hardwired cameras.
There are
several types of wireless home security cameras available for you to buy, from simple (and
cheap) do it yourself cams to professional security cameras with IP networking capabilities,
a water and vandal-proof design, night vision and so forth. Since the market has literally
boomed and is now flooded with different types of wireless home security cameras, it will
require some browsing around to find the one that suits you most.
In order to help
you out, we’ll explain some of the most important features a wireless home security
camera can have.
Infrared Night Vision – Using infrared
particles, a wireless home security camera can literally see through darkness. Modern
cameras have an automated system that allows them to detect light and switch the required
mode on. For example, during daytime or when lighting conditions are adequate, the camera
will act as a normal video cam but as soon as the light drops below a certain level, it will
automatically turn on its night vision mode.
IP Networking – If your wireless home
security camera features IP networking capabilities, you will be able to connect it to your
computer (usually through an USB connector). This allows for several options such as
controlling the camera from your computer instead of the security system’s control
panel, downloading video footage directly on your hard drive or streaming live footage of
what your camera is “seeing”, online, from anywhere in the World (quite helpful
when you’re on vacation and want to check the status of your home).
Vandal proof design – This is mostly aimed
for outdoor wireless home security cameras. These cameras are protected by a solid material
and covered by a “hub” of break-proof glass that doesn’t hinder the quality
of the video the camera streams. They are almost impossible to break away from their
support, which makes these wireless home security cameras truly worth their money.
Motion detection – Some cameras have a built
in motion detector that gives them a dual purpose. Most wireless home security cameras use
an infrared-based motion detector which can also detect body heat and can be tuned so that
it ignores the motion of small pets and the likes. The motion detector can be turned on and
off as you please in most models, so you don’t have to worry about triggering it during
daytime.
Depending on
these features, the price for a wireless home security camera may range from under a hundred
dollars to several hundred. Study your home setup closely and set your home security needs
before deciding on what to choose, so that you don’t end up buying a costly wireless
home security camera with high tech features that you might not be using at all.
