So if you’re concerned about someone picking up the signal from your wireless camera then go digital for extra peace of mind. Digital wireless cameras, however, are far more secure as they use multiple frequencies to pair the camera and the receiver. For wireless cameras, it’s highly unlikely that your CCTV camera would be maliciously hacked, but someone with a receiver on the same frequency (2.4GHz) could potentially pick up the signal from a standard analogue wireless camera. Most of these scare stories, however, involve remote access Wifi cameras, which use a slightly different technology. This issue has been in the news a few times, read more about a 2016 CCTV camera hack here. Don’t forget you can easily go the other way if needs be – convert a wired camera to wireless by using one of our transmitter and receiver sets. Wired is far more reliable and will produce a higher quality image without signal interruptions. If you suspect that you may want to go wired in the future, then go wired now. Can you make a wireless camera wired?Īs a rule, no, most wireless cameras will not have this option unless it’s specifically built in. Here are some of the easiest CCTV systems to install. Once it’s all working then you can mount your cameras into position and run the cables to a power source. This saves you from mounting everything before finding out there’s an issue and you have to take it all down again. The first thing to do is to plug everything in and lay it all out on the kitchen table and check that the camera and the receiver are ‘talking’ to each other. Installing a wireless camera is pretty easy and if you’re handy with a drill then you can do it yourself.
The battery may run out right before any of the good stuff starts to happen!Ĭheck out our entire range of wireless cameras. Using a battery isn’t ideal as the battery for your wireless CCTV camera will drain quickly, depending on usage. Either the camera will need to be plugged into a power source (the easiest option) or in some cases, they can connect to a battery if the camera is set up for this (the not to straightforward option). It’s worth noting that the camera will still need power, this part isn’t wireless. Wireless CCTV cameras send their video and audio to a receiver via wireless transmission, not a cable.
