Should I Buy A Wireless Or Wired Surveillance System?

One of the first decisions you’ll need to make is if you need a wireless or wired security camera system, and the correct answer likely depends on where you intend to place the cameras and components. If you have the luxury of being able to drill holes and run wires, you’ll appreciate not having to deal with batteries and may want to look at a wired system. On the other hand, if running wires isn’t realistic, you’ll enjoy the versatility of Wi-Fi and wireless cameras. All these considerations will affect what system you ultimately choose. For example, bandwidth is a consideration if you need to capture high-definition surveillance video over long periods.

How Do Hidden Cameras Work?

When mounting cameras inside your house isn’t an option, explore hidden cameras, which are small and discreet cameras, sometimes fitted into everyday objects such as clocks, smoke detectors, and magnets. If you need to document an important meeting in a public place, a personal hidden camera built into a watch or pen may be a good option. Finally, if you want to see what your employees do when you aren’t nearby, a hidden camera connected to a CCTV camera system is the best choice.

What’s The Difference Between NVR And DVR?

An often overlooked aspect of an alarm system is the recording device. After all, notifying law enforcement and sounding an intimidating siren from your alarm system is only half a solution. A Digital Video Recorder (DVR) or a Network Video Recorder (NVR) system provides evidence of whatever set off the alarm in the first place. If you have extra bandwidth on your network, the higher quality video and more straightforward setup of NVR is likely the best choice. However, if you need a reliable signal and want to spend less, the DVR system is worth a look.
