What Is Wireless Video and What Are Its Advantages?
Like a surfer waiting for the perfect wave, wireless surveillance products can offer a great ride for those installations where cabling would be impossible or cost-prohibitive.
From tablets to control panels, wireless capability is cropping up in products in a variety of industries, and security is no exception. Wireless technology is readily available and inexpensive to incorporate into devices, which is why manufacturers are seizing the opportunity to produce and market a variety of Wi-Fi-enabled security products. But manufacturers aren’t the only ones who benefit from wireless; an increasing number of dealers and integrators are riding the wireless wave.
One reason for this shift in technological paradigm stems from installation procedures. Without having to run long stretches of cabling from the cameras, the installation becomes a much quicker job, requiring fewer hours of labor. Added mobility and flexibility are other appealing qualities of wireless cameras. In other words, a wireless camera can be easily installed, uninstalled, and reinstalled elsewhere on a premises, provided there is a viable power source and signal.
