Wired or Wireless Security

Those shopping for a new security system have many options available to them. The first choice you will need to make is whether to use a wired security system or wireless security system. Hardwired security systems require electrical wiring to connect the camera to the control panel. It may also connect door and window sensors, and motion detectors. Wired systems may be less prone to electrical interference whereas wireless systems may malfunction at times if other wireless devices are using the same frequency channels. To avoid electronic interference it is wise to choose the 5.8 Mhz frequency range. Unfortunately, the 5.8 Ghz may not be able to penetrate solid walls. When steel, concrete, and brick walls are in between your camera and the main security system device, you may not receive a transmission signal. In such situations, such as older buildings or where there are long distances between cameras and the system, you may need to buy a wired security system. Wired security systems are used in banks, jails, and other secure facilities. Wireless cameras can still be employed within a large commercial security system. For most office and home security systems, a wireless camera network is a good choice. If you're unsure as to what kind of security system to purchase, contact us. We'll be glad to help you.
