What is a wireless outdoor security camera?

A wireless outdoor security camera is your regular security camera, with a small difference. It does not have wires. At times, it has its own dedicated power supply too hence making it completely wireless. It is really a good option to go for as it eliminates the need of using bulky and obtrusive wiring while installing. It is more dependable as there are no wires to cut for intruders. Wired cameras have this one inherent flaw – it is really easy for the intruders to detect them. Well, they can detect the wired cameras too, but, in this case, there is no way they can disable them, unlike the wired ones that can be easily disabled by severing their cables.

How do wireless outdoor security cameras work?

Wireless cameras work using RF signals. RF here stands for Radio Frequency. These cameras have a transmitter that sends the footage information to a central receiver located inside the home/office. With the growth in technology, now we have Bluetooth enabled and wifi-enabled wireless security cameras also. The information transmitted by these cameras is generally stored in a DVR and can also be stored on cloud storage.

Wireless outdoor security cameras come with many features. Here is the list of some of them.
