Wireless Security Camera Systems

---

Wireless cameras should not be your first choice. Wireless cameras are for installation convenience, not performance or reliability. While the video transmission is wireless, good wireless cameras still need a constant power supply, which means you are still running a cable somewhere for power.

Don't be fooled by the claims of battery operated camera suppliers. They are not reliable and require weekly or bi-weekly recharging. Some brands such as Arlo, Blink and SimpliSafe claim 2 years of operation on one charge. What they are hiding from you in the fine print is; you'll get 2 years of operation on a single charge if the camera only operates a total of one minute and twenty seconds each day...seriously!

In other words, if you choose battery operated cameras, be prepared to constantly maintain the cameras; take them down, charge them, remount them, re-aim them and reset the motion activated areas every couple of weeks. Reality most consumers eventually get tired of the routine and the cameras eventually die on the wall. This is why we do not offer battery operated solutions.

Our 4 and 8 camera wireless kits shown below are not battery powered and are the best wireless cameras on the market, but they still should be limited to residential applications and understand that a constant power source is required for each camera.

There is a world of difference between the wireless technology found in cameras and the long range wifi wireless technology we use to connect groups of cameras together using commercial wifi transmitters. This technology is extremely reliable and should be considered if there are challenges connecting cameras to the system.
