Should I Buy a Wired Camera or a Wireless Security Camera?

The advantages of a wireless camera are centered on mobility. It can conveniently be installed in those locations where wiring is difficult, it can easily be moved as often as you desire. It does however come with its disadvantages. The video stream may be disturbed or influenced by other objects or other strong radio frequencies. A wired camera is more stable and reliable in this respect. The video/audio transmission is limited within the prescribed transmission range. These disadvantages will not occur to a wired camera system.

What Cameras Should I Use For Night and Low Light Areas?

There are traditionally speaking 3 main ways to address the above question.

1. Day and Night Function: These cameras record in full colour during the day and automatically switch to black and white, delivering better clarity in light conditions.

2. Infrared (IR) – these cameras have a number of IR LEDs that capture the frequency of the light in a way that the human eye cannot. The number of IR LEDs and the power of each LED will determine the distance/clarity of the captured image at night.

3. Wide dynamic range (WDR): These cameras record greater scene detail, from shadows to highlights than normal. In simplicity these cameras automatically balance the contrasting different areas of the picture, the same way you would change the contrast setting on your TV to achieve better clarity.
