Indoor wireless security cameras vs outdoor wireless security cameras, what you should know.
February 6, 2010
With wireless security cameras, one of the first things you should consider is where you need them to be set up. What I mean by this, do the wireless security cameras need to be indoors or outdoors? I have seen some people prop wireless cameras up in windows looking out side but this is not usually the best practice as things like motion detect may not function through the window. I have had customer tell me their cameras don’t work then when I find out they are inside looking through windows I ask them to test the camera outside and voila!
If you require outdoor surveillance, such as the car or your yard, you should in-fact purchase outdoor specific wireless cameras. They usually come equipped with led lights that allow them to see in the dark and the housing is water proof and can handle the elements . Another issue I have seen is using the outdoor cameras inside, again looking out the window, at night you wont see any thing because the leds are reflecting off of the glass. Never use an indoor wireless camera out side it will not last, if it gets rain on it chances are it will short out and then that’s good bye camera! You can however use a combination of indoor and outdoor cameras, should you need to watch both, just make sure that the cameras are on different frequencies!
