Protecting your business with a video security system is a ‘must,’ but with so many options available, choosing the right one can be daunting.

Wired or wireless?

We’ve highlighted the pros and cons of each to make your decision-making process easy! Arm your business with the perfect surveillance system and head into a safe and secure New Year.

HD Wired Systems – An All-in-One Solution

Unlike a wire-free solution, which connects to the internet over Wi-Fi and powered by batteries, wired cameras use wires to transmit video footage.

A wired security system is generally referred to as a DVR recorder system, and can both support high-resolution cameras and provide 24/7 monitoring, smart analytics, and a variety of hard drive capabilities.

Benefits of a wired surveillance system include:

• Cameras won’t go down in the event your network does
• Reliability – don’t have to worry about charging batteries
• Video quality remains consistent – don’t have to use as much bandwidth
• Record continuously – no monthly fee (unlike a cloud solution)

Some disadvantages include:

• Installation requires a professional which can add up in labor costs
• Start-up costs will be higher than a wireless system – a wired camera system requires the purchase of cameras, a recorder, a storage unit to protect the server from theft, etc.
• Most DVR’s have a storage capacity – limiting users to store seven to 14 days before wiping clean the recordings. This can interfere with state-mandated compliance that requires the footage to be stored 60 days or longer.

Supercircuits offer HD security camera systems that include everything you need for a complete surveillance solution, including high definition cameras, a recorder, hard drive, power supply, and power cables. No matter which HD system you choose, you’ll have the convenience of an all-in-one solution, providing a quick setup, easy installation, and powerful, 24/7 monitoring for years to come.

Additionally, Supercircuits offers a one-year warranty, 30-day money-back guarantee, and FREE US-based lifetime technical support.

Wire-Free Cameras That Power Up Anywhere You Have a WiFi Signal

For many small business owners who don’t want to deal with installing long-distance cabling, and need an easy-to-use on-premise surveillance system, wire-free is the ideal solution.

Benefits include:

• No need to mount them to a wall or ceiling – just plug them into your wifi network
• Can use cloud storage – providing an extra layer of security for your video footage
• Offers smart analytics like intrusion detection, motion detection and line crossing
• A convenient solution for renters and small business owners to use – just plug in when and where you need surveillance.

Disadvanges include:

• if you don’t have high speed WIFI, you may experience glitches in your surveillance.
• Most rely on cloud storage – although it doesn’t cost as much in up-front costs, it does require a monthly subscription fee
• As your internet bandwidth fluctuates, so will your video quality.
