Many of our callers call up and say they want a wireless security camera system. What they do not realize is that there are many disadvantages to having a wireless system.
One disadvantage of having a wireless security camera system is that the video transmission is not guaranteed. Many things interfere with a wireless signal. A cordless telephone system that is on the same frequency as your wireless transmitter can interfere with your signal. Wireless internet can interfere with your cameras as well. The amount of walls in between the receiver and the transmitter and what’s inside the walls plays into this too.
Those were just a few of the things that can cause interference in your wireless camera system. Not to mention the distance from camera to dvr, the quality and strength of the receiver and transmitter and other things as well. Not to mention that the camera still needs to have a wire run for the power. What problems have you had with your wireless system?

I purchased a wireless system and the cameras kept going in and out. I wish I got a wired one, but for the install the wireless ones were cheaper.
