How Wireless Security Cameras work

The wireless camera term “wireless”, which can be used to describe either battery-powered or USB-powered cameras, refers to cameras that do not need to be plugged into power. The Wi-Fi connection capability of wireless cameras makes them wireless. Once powered on, the cameras transmit video and audio signals right from your device to your cloud storage or mobile phone.

ADT security cams integrate seamlessly with the ADT mobile app You can stream your footage in real time, or see clips later. Just tap a screen and you can instantly access your footage from any location.

Some wireless cameras can be called “wireless” because they don’t require batteries. Their batteries have a life expectancy of between three and six months. Your mobile application will often notify you when they are running low.

Most wire-free cameras are equipped with motion sensors, which can help save batteries. They are able to turn on and record motions on your property, or inside your house. Once they are used again, they can go into sleep mode and be turned back on again.

An internet-connected wireless camera doesn’t need motion sensor technology. Therefore, your video stream is always monitored.

Wireless Security Cameras vs. wired Security Cameras

To transmit video information wirelessly from security cameras to your router or computer hub, wires must be laid. They send the data through wires making it strong and secure.

Wired cameras, unlike non-powered wireless cameras need to be connected directly to a power supply. However, they can be powered from the same wires used to connect to your hub.

Wired security cameras may be more expensive than wireless ones because they are harder to install. The wire feeds are often pulled through walls. Depending on the location of your camera relative to your video storage, they may have to be run for a long distance.

Wired security cameras are commonly found in larger properties. They enable secure closed feeds. Wireless security cameras offer greater flexibility because they can connect wirelessly with their receiver and recorder. Wireless cameras can also be powered by batteries so you can install them anywhere you like. Wireless cameras are able to be accessed from anywhere as long as there is a Wi Fi receiver.

Wi-Fi allows you access to a live feed of your wireless camera via a computer/phone. This gives you both security and mobility.
