The major benefit of a wireless CCTV camera is the ease of installation and time saved by not having to run wires through the home or business. They can also be moved when the need arises, and can even be used for covert operations. Many times, the need may arise for a camera to be installed, but due to the location and circumstance, it not be convenient to run wires from the installation site to the recorder or monitor. AS the time taken and activity to run wires may cause you to miss the opportunity to catch a person conducting themselves in an illegal manner. By installing a wireless CCTV camera, it can be done quickly and conveniently.
Wireless CCTV Cameras are a combination of several components: A camera, a transmitter, and a receiver. A Wireless Camera transmits video from a built-in transmitter to a receiver, which is in turn plugged into either a monitor or other recording device. They operate at different frequencies, 900Mhz, 1.2Ghz, 2.4Ghz, and the top of the line 5.8Ghz. Each frequency has it’s own specification and operating guidelines.
900Mhz
Four channels are available in this band and it has an operating distance of 200 to 700ft depending on environmental conditions. The receivers must be tuned to get a clear picture.
1.2Ghz
High resolution video transmission and outdoor medium range potential, a good choice for multiple system applications. This frequency makes a huge difference in the range and quality of video image received, especially when used in buildings. If Used in a clear site without visual obstruction and with no electrical interference, you can expect to transmit up to 300 feet with good clarity.
2.4Ghz
A 2.4 GHz Wireless CCTV Camera comes equipped with 4 channels with no tuning required. We generally recommend 2.4 GHz over 900 MHz because the overall video quality is better. Range varies from 200-700 feet, depending on environmental conditions. Many cordless phones also operate on this frequency and may cause interference, if placed in close proximity to a Wireless Video Camera.
5.8Ghz
The latest in CCTV Wireless Security Equipment. It has 4 channels of video with an operating frequency between 5725 ~ 5825 (4 Channels). At this frequency, you are not sharing part of the public band, which eliminates interference from other 2.4 GHz devices. Plus, a 2.4 GHz Wireless Video Camera may only transmit a wireless signal up to 500 feet line of site, whereas a 5.8 GHz Wireless Video Camera sends a stronger signal up to 2,000 feet line of site.
wireless cctv Camera can easily be installed by mounting at the desired location and plugging in the the receiver to your monitor or computer network if you have a wireless network camera installed. The other factor to consider is a power source, which can vary from a wall outlet to batteries. The power of a Wireless CCTV Camera is in its flexibility and ease of use also to the degree that it can be hidden from public view.
