A wireless camera security system is a network of closed-circuit television cameras that sends audio and visual signals over a radio band to a wireless receiver. The cost of security systems using cameras was once prohibitive but the widespread use of wireless technology has made these security systems affordable.
In the past, the installation of camera security systems was complicated and expensive, often involving running wiring behind walls or under flooring. Now cameras can be mounted anywhere and battery operated units don’t even require a nearby power source. They can be mounted in a variety of places including those which are hard to access or where lack of a power source would have made the placement of wired cameras impossible. Homes, businesses, boats, recreational vehicles, interior and exterior; these cameras can truly be mounted anywhere.
Wireless cameras can have several receivers per unit. This means that the signal from an individual camera can be sent to any receiver enabling the user to view the camera’s images in multiple locations.
While wireless security cameras may seem like the answer to many security problems, there are some serious downsides. The wireless security network is sensitive and the signal can be disrupted by microwaves, computer routers, cordless phones and other typical household devices. This interference seriously degrades the quality of the visual and audio output if it isn’t totally interrupted. In addition, the signal is not secure. Anybody within range, such as a neighbor, can tap into the transmission with devices using a similar bandwidth.
The answer to these complaints is the digital wireless camera. Slightly more expensive, these units transmit encoded signals over radio frequencies that are high-bandwidth. This means that transmission can only be received by the specified receiver and is totally secure. The quality of the video and audio output is of very high quality and they are impervious to household appliance interruption. The digital wireless camera system can also send a signal to your computer that would enable you to view your output from any location via a secure website on the internet.

Wireless Cameras are relatively expensive and are not as reliable as wired systems. Most wireless systems are Line of Sight (LOS). Remember that wireless security cameras require power to operate. So even though by going with a wireless solution you can eliminate the need for coaxial cable for video transmission, you still have to wire the camera to a power source. Keeping that in mind it depends on what you want from your camera. How far away will the camera be from what you are trying to record? Will the Camera be inside or outside? Does it need to record color or can it be in black and white? Do you want to be able to remotely make the camera zoom in or change the viewing angle? There are a lot of questions to answer before deciding what the 'best' wireless camera is. To help answer some of those questions check out this guide to help you figure out what you are looking for in a security camera. http://www.apexcctv.com/CCTVBuyerGuide.aspx
