Wireless surveillance camera

A wireless surveillance camera is a device capable of filming videos. As the name suggests, it is completely autonomous because it does not require wiring for transmission or power.

Operation

The wireless surveillance camera is not a solitary surveillance device. It is part of a more complex surveillance system. But in its most basic form, it can be a surveillance camera with IP software for viewing. Its "wireless" configuration forces this kind of ip camera to choose between two options for storing data. On the one hand, the endowment of a large memory card capacity to record captured videos. The user will have to retrieve the card and connect it to a computer to watch the videos. This version is not very practical. That's why, on the other hand, most surveillance cameras use wifi technology to directly transfer the videos they record to a server. In this way, videos can be viewed in real time through an online platform or IP software.

derivatives

Because of its outdoor use, the wireless surveillance camera can be accompanied by other devices that aim to improve its performance. The most common are motion detection devices: the camera records only if it detects motion. It can even differentiate animals from humans. The other device is night vision: the outdoor camera uses an infrared flash to capture the scene. But other options can be proposed by the suppliers.

Use

The wireless surveillance camera is used when the homeowner wants to monitor the outside of his home. Businesses as well as various business establishments can also use them.
