Planning & Strategy
What is a security camera system?
A security camera system records and monitors activity around your property. It can include indoor/outdoor cameras, a recorder, and remote viewing. Systems deter crime and provide evidence. Many offer motion detection and night vision. Wired and wireless options are available.
What’s the difference between wired and wireless cameras?
Wired cameras connect with cables and offer reliable power and video signals. Wireless cameras use Wi-Fi, making installation easier. However, they may experience signal interference. Power sources still may be needed. Choose based on location and setup ease.
Do security cameras work at night?
Yes, most modern cameras have infrared (IR) night vision. Some offer color night vision using low-light sensors or built-in lights. Night range depends on the camera’s specs. IR lights may be visible as small red LEDs.
