Crime Prevention Tip of the Week!!!

Today we are going to look at home security cameras and explain the difference between Wired Cameras and Wireless Cameras.

These cameras are different and often times confused by the crime prevention practitioner and consumer.

There are four basic types of cameras:

Wired Camera – Refers to the camera being powered by a power source and transmitting footage via a CAT5 or CAT 6 Ethernet cable.

Wireless Camera – Refers to how the camera communicates not to how the camera is powered. Wireless cameras can be powered by USB (indoor cameras), AC Power, or batteries. These cameras communicate over Wi-Fi.

Wire-Free – Refers to cameras connected to the internet via Wi-Fi and powered by batteries.

LTE Cellular Camera – Instead of a dedicated internet connection they use a cellular service to transmit over a mobile network. These cameras may also be battery powered. They are ideal for locations without internet or a power source.
