CCTV Cameras

CCTV cameras are a fact of life in retail establishments, high profile security facilities and of course, prison and police stations. There has been debate as to whether a wireless CCTV security camera system is more effective than wired closed circuit solutions. During the course of these discussions, several advantages become evident, including the fact that there is no wiring that can be compromised or subject to failure.

A wireless CCTV camera captures and transmits images over wireless technology and it also means that there is no chance of a prisoner or suspect tampering with the wiring. Unless the entire camera unit is removed from its bracket, the wireless CCTV camera remains operational.

Wireless CCTV technology also provides a clearer image than do those captured through the wired technology. The wireless units offer a higher-resolution image and this makes identification of individuals by physical characteristics or facial recognition more plausible. Using this technology in research or high security facilities is useful to make certain that individuals who may not have clearance are not allowed to enter secured locations, or if they have, it is easy to recognize them on the camera monitors.

With security personnel monitoring the activities captured on the camera, they are able to note unauthorized entrance to a facility or even monitor behavior that appears suspicious. The wireless CCTV camera provides the security personnel the ability to clearly capture an image of the individual in question.

The ability to record and then have the images for evidence, if necessary, is also another advantage touted by those who the benefits of wireless CCTV camera technology. Wireless cameras use a CDR recording technology which makes it possible to store many more hours of surveillance on a disc as compared to technology in the past that recorded to magnetic tapes. The storage of the recorded tapes is problematic as well.

Cost is no longer a drawback to the use of CCTV wireless surveillance as they are becoming less expensive than their counterparts on the market. When you add the lower cost of the cameras with the relative ease of installation and remove the need for having to run any wires for the surveillance system, the benefits of CCTV cameras are even more clearly visible.
