Security Cameras FAQs

Which is the best camera for security?

The best security camera depends on your specific needs. For home use, WiFi cameras with features like 4K resolution, motion detection, and two-way audio are excellent choices. For outdoor settings, security cameras with a weatherproof rating are ideal. If you need flexible installation, consider battery-powered options.

Is it better to have wired or wireless security cameras?

Wired security cameras are better for areas with consistent power. They need to be hardwired for both power and network connection; as a result, these cameras offer more stable performance. Wireless security cameras are more flexible in terms of installation and placement. They use Wi-Fi and batteries for daily operation. Ultimately, the choice depends on your specific needs.

Do you need Wi-Fi for security cameras?

Not all security cameras require Wi-Fi to function. Some wireless security cameras, like the Reolink Go series, use cellular data and 3G/4G networks for data transmission. Other security cameras operate without Wi-Fi by using PoE (Power over Ethernet) technology. These cameras receive both power and an internet connection through a single Ethernet cable, eliminating the need for a Wi-Fi connection.

What's the difference between surveillance cameras and security cameras?

Surveillance cameras and security cameras are often used interchangeably, but they have subtle differences. While both capture video footage, security cameras are primarily focused on protecting property and people, whereas surveillance cameras are used for broader monitoring purposes.
