Outdoor Wireless security cameras provide protection for your?business or home?in a simple and effective way. Just seeing one mounted outside your home or
business serves as an effective deterrent to criminals considering breaking in.
And an outdoor wireless security camera is quick and easy to install. Once it's mounted, you're ready to monitor, without any hassle of wiring.
The camera sends video to a receiver in your home or business wirelessly. The receiver connects to your TV, VCR, or digital video recorder (DVR), letting you
view or record the video feed.
What to look for in outdoor wireless security cameras
Make sure you plan out the way you will set up your system before you buy. Identify where you will mount your wireless outdoor security camera and where
you will place the receiver. You should experience no problem with signal loss
if they are within 30-40 meters of each other.
If the distance between receiver and camera is more than that, you likely will need to extend your transmission range with a wireless card that plugs into
a slot in your wireless outdoor security camera. This moves the antenna outside
the camera, effectively extending the transmission range.
Another important thing to look for is durability. You want to protect your outdoor wireless security camera from the weather, from vandals, and from
anything else that could damage or disable it. Make sure the housing for your
camera is tamper resistant and weather resistant. It needs to be covered enough
to shield you camera from the sun and sturdy enough to protect your camera from
rain, hail, snow, sand, dust or vandals.
Check also that your wireless outdoor security camera is adequately protected against whatever extremes in temperatures are common in your area. If you live
in a hot climate, you likely will need a built-in fan. Conversely, if you live
in a cold climate, you'll likely need a built-in heater.
Consider also the light level available for your outdoor wireless security camera. A camera's ability to operate in low light levels is measured by what is
called the lux rating. The lower the lux rating, the less light the camera needs
in order to transmit a clear picture.
If your available light level is especially low, you might want to consider a night vision, infrared camera. An infrared security camera is capable of
transmitting clear video even in complete darkness.
What will outdoor wireless security cameras do for you?
The system you set up will give you peace of mind. You are deterring criminals. In doing so, you enhance the safety and security of your home or
business. And, when you do that, you create another powerful benefit. You
decrease your insurance payments.
