Wireless
Wireless home security camera systems, as the name implies, utilize wireless technology to send images from the camera to whatever type of receiver and monitor the user decides to go with. This type of camera– like all of the other ones– have their pros and their cons. They are usually rather low cost and user friendly, especially where installation is concerned. To their detriment, however, is the fact that other wireless units such as cordless telephones and wireless Internet connections can sometimes create interference that can inhibit the camera’s function. Many large and respected home security firms like ADT now give subscribers the option of utilizing wireless camera technology as part of their monitored home alarm systems.
Hidden
Hidden home security cameras come in many different shapes, styles, colors, and sizes. Extremely small cameras can be tucked away where they are very unlikely to be noticed. There are also cameras that are sold that are embedded within a phony object of some sort disguising them as something other than what they actually are. Some of these hidden cameras are designed to resemble DVD players, plants, stuffed animals or other toys, sunglasses, sprinklers, and many other everyday household items. The drawback with these types of cameras is that the clarity of the image is often sacrificed due to their clandestine cover.
Night Vision
The last type of camera that I will cover is the infrared variety. These home security cameras are able to record and transmit images in low light or even situations or areas in which there is no light at all. The images that night vision cameras capture without the help of a light source are only available in black and white. However, some night vision cameras also have color capabilities so that they can capture full color images during the times when there is light to work with. Large security companies such as ADT can professionally install night vision cameras in and around residences or businesses wherever they are needed.
