A lot of security cameras available today are wireless, using broadband or short-range technologies to communicate with a control panel or connected smart device. A security camera system wireless is easier to install and offers greater flexibility for placement.

Difference between Wired and Wireless Home Security Cameras?

The first generation of security cameras needed to be connected to an electrical source to work. Today, you can still find cameras that work this way. Wired cameras depend on video cables to transmit video signals to a viewing device such as a computer or television. But, a wireless security camera works by transmitting the video signal over the internet or other wireless network to a receiver that connects to the viewing and recording device. Usually, the video footage is saved in computers or cloud storage accounts for later viewing.
