It is reported that the global wireless security market will reach $18.3 billion by 2030. Wireless CCTV systems have been widely used by homes and businesses for some time. Over recent years, they have only proven to gain more popularity. This popularity doesn’t look set to end any time soon. In this blog post we look at how wireless CCTV systems work.
How Does A CCTV System Work?
Firstly, let’s look at how a CCTV system works. In simpler terms, it is a video system that displays real-time viewing. It also offers footage playback. This is done by strategically places video cameras that will better protect your property through deterring criminals and catching criminals in the act.
The footage captured by the CCTV cameras is transmitted by cable or wirelessly to a display monitor where the footage and real-time action can be viewed.
What Are The Two Types Of CCTV Systems?
There are two main types of CCTV systems. These are wired CCTV systems and wireless CCTV systems. As the name suggests, a wired CCTV system had the cameras and the rest of the system hardwired.
Meanwhile, the wireless CCTV cameras have no wires. Instead, they work on an internet connection.
How Do Wireless CCTV Camera Systems Work?
CCTV cameras will work just as any other wireless device does. The wireless CCTV cameras don’t connect with a wire. Instead, they connect with a short-range signal to a hub or device. It is important that the wireless camera maintains a signal connected to your network. This will allow it to record and capture footage.
Once the footage is captured and recorded it will be sent to a receiver. This receiver is connected to a built-in storage device or through cloud storage. This will enable you to have 24/7 viewing access to the CCTV footage, from wherever you are at any time.
