New Zealand CCTV Security Cameras

Q: Should I use wired or wireless New Zealand CCTV security cameras?

It's up to you to choose what's best for your requirements and property, but we've listed some of the advantages of using wired and wireless New Zealand CCTV security cameras to help you make your decision.

Advantages of a wired CCTV security camera:

• Wired CCTV security cameras usually give a superior picture to wireless cameras.
• With wired CCTV security cameras there is no possibility of interference or jamming disrupting the picture.
• There is no possibility of a wired camera causing interference to other wireless services such as wireless LAN.
• Wireless signals can be blocked by reinforcing steel in building walls or steel cladding and roofing on buildings whereas a wired system requires only a small hole for the cable to pass through to be able to work.
• Wired CCTV security cameras are recommended for permanent installations wherever it is practical to run cable.
• Wired CCTV security cameras are preferable when the images are to be recorded on a DVR.

Advantages of a wireless CCTV security camera:

• The major advantage of wireless CCTV security cameras is that there is no need to run a signal cable from the camera to the monitor or DVR. Although it is still necessary to run a cable from the camera to a power socket, this will usually be a comparatively short run.
• Wireless CCTV security cameras are best used were the cable run would be particularly difficult or were only a temporary installation is required.
