Wi-Fi Cameras

Small businesses and home owners prefer the all-in one Wi-Fi cameras. This is because they are compact, portable, easy to install and use and very affordable for any small business or home owner to acquire. It is recommended that you do not install too many Wi-Fi cameras on one network as this could rout your bandwidth and the whole system would be overwhelmed, simplicity is the key when using these cameras.

These cameras have very basic functionality and features and should you require advanced or specialised features you will have limited options. They also require direct power and very few cameras use batteries.

Point-to-point Wireless

The alternative option should you require multiple cameras to cover a large area and with very specific or advanced capabilities would be point-to-point wireless systems.
The cameras are linked with wireless antennas and you can use your IP system to create this wireless system.

The large antennas used by these systems can connect very large areas, such as multiple buildings on a university campus, its parking garage or retail outlets. These cameras cannot operate on batteries and require power and are connected to the wireless antenna communicate with the base station connecting you to your network video recorder or your virtual memory system.
