*CCTV = Closed Circuit Television / Security Camera* 😄
*Wired CCTV vs Wireless CCTV* mainly comes down to "how it transmits signal + how it’s powered":
*1. Wired CCTV*
*How it works*: Camera connects to a DVR/NVR via cables
*Pros*
- *Stable*: No WiFi interference, no lag or dropped frames. Great for 24/7 recording in shops, factories
- *Better quality*: Can do 4K, 8MP without frame drops
- *Power + data in 1 cable*: PoE Ethernet handles both power and signal, less messy
- *More secure*: Harder to hack vs WiFi cameras
*Cons*
- *Tricky install*: You need to drill, lay trunking, run cables. Expensive if your house is already renovated
- *Not portable*: Once installed, it’s pretty much fixed
*Best for*: Shops, warehouses, newly renovated homes, places that need max reliability
*2. Wireless CCTV / IP Cam*
*How it works*: Camera connects via WiFi and sends footage to the cloud or NVR. Many are battery + solar powered
*Pros*
- *Super easy install*: Magnetic mount or stick-on. Renter-friendly
- *Flexible placement*: Move it from the front door to the backyard anytime
- *Easy phone viewing*: Most brands have an app with fast notifications
- *No power outlet needed*: Battery + solar versions work outdoors, car parks, etc.
*Cons*
- *Depends on WiFi*: If your WiFi is weak = lag, disconnections. 2.4GHz has better range but is slower, 5GHz is faster but worse through walls
- *Latency*: ∼0.5-2s delay vs wired, so live view has a slight lag
- *Battery charging*: Battery models need charging every 2-6 months
- *Security*: Risk if your WiFi password is weak
*Best for*: Home use, rentals, DIY setups, monitoring contractors, garages
*Quick Comparison*
