View Our Selection Of Wireless Video Surveillance

Although it is often associated with police and spies, wireless video surveillance is useful for all consumers who want to improve the safety of their home. Wireless video surveillance allows home owners to keep an eye on suspicious activity. And if there is a burglary, wireless video surveillance can gather evidence about the crime and the criminal. Wireless video surveillance is used in many home security systems in addition to the regular alarms and motion detectors.

Wireless video surveillance offers an advantage over traditional surveillance systems because the lack of wires makes installation much easier, and often cheaper. Wireless video surveillance systems are easier to reconfigure for the same reasons. Some types of wireless video cameras may still have some wires, though, if they are not battery operated. Wireless video surveillance systems can have all the options of traditional surveillance equipment, including black and white, color, and night vision.

Wireless video surveillance works by having a wireless camera transmit images to a receiver. The wireless camera can film continuously or they can be activated intermittently by motion detectors. The receiver is designed to handle signals from multiple cameras, sometimes up to 16. The wireless video surveillance receiver can either display the video on a monitor or send it to a storage device for recording. Some wireless video surveillance receivers can even have monitors or storage devices built-in.
