4 Camera Security System

A 4 camera security system consists of four security cameras that can be placed at different locations and angles. They have a control unit, which is an NVR or Home Hub, to control all security cameras and save their recorded videos in local storage. Usually, an HDD is mounted in the control unit. An optional component is a large monitor/display to see the live feed of all security cameras at the same time.

4 Camera Wireless Security System: A 4 camera wireless security system does not require a wired connection for power, connectivity, or both. It can transmit data through a Wi-Fi network or 4G cellular connectivity. It gets power through a built-in battery or an adapter, which is connected to a nearby AC outlet. All four cameras are connected to the NVR/Home Hub via Wi-Fi, and that's how they store the recordings.

4 Camera Wired Security System: A wired security camera requires proper wiring from the cameras to the central/control unit. Digital cameras are connected to the NVR via an Ethernet cable, while analog cameras require a coaxial cable for connection to the DVR. It gets power and network connectivity through the cables. It is an extremely reliable option for fast and robust performance.

AI Video Search: Some new versions of security cameras have AI video search. It allows users to easily find the desired recording or event through a keyword or voice search. It automatically pulls up suitable recordings or events that match the description. It saves users from the hassle of searching for videos manually.

High-Resolution Video: The camera system records in high resolution to capture clear videos with rich details. It is perfect for getting a clear and close-up view of the objects. 4K or higher resolution systems are better for high-]quality videos.

Smart Detection Features: All cameras smartly detect objects. After detection, they can easily distinguish whether it is a person, pet, or vehicle. They send real-time alerts to connected devices and reduce the system's false alerts.

24/7 Continuous Recording: The camera system records videos 24/7. It does not miss any moment or event, which is an excellent option for security and surveillance. In the event of an accident, users can review the recordings to identify the root cause and gather additional details.

Easy Installation: Reolink 4 camera security system is quite easy to install. Be it wireless or wired, both are DIY and can be installed with minimal effort. They are like plug-and-play devices that are easy to install, connect, and set up.

Expandable System: The notable feature of Reolink 4 camera system is its expandability. You can connect more security cameras according to the limit of the system, and also increase the storage. This way, the system becomes future-proof, and users can add more cameras to cover more locations in the future without any upgrades.

- Place the security cameras strategically to cover key entry points and locations. Ensure that none of the cameras have an overlapping field of view for maximum coverage.

- Turn on the camera to ensure power connectivity. Connect it to the Wi-Fi and check the signal strength. If it is a PoE camera, check its connectivity with the router.

- Place cameras at least 8-10ft high and adjust them at suitable angles to avoid direct light and obstruction and wider coverage.

- During the initialization, set up a strong password to prevent hacking attempts. Also, set up two-factor authentication for added security.

- Test the security camera system and the live feed of all camera. Ensure everything is working fine, along with real-time alerts.

If you are going with a DIY installation, installing a 4 camera security system will cost around $300 to $800, depending on the camera quality, NVR storage, and other factors. For a PoE system, you also need Ethernet wiring, depending on the area. If you select a professional installation, the labor cost is $100 to $200 per camera.

It depends on the location, area, entry points, layout, and other factors. For a small home or store, it is enough. But if the property is large with a complex layout, you need more security cameras. Select an expandable system so that you can add more cameras easily.
