Development of Wireless Security Camera Technology
Wireless networks have been popular at businesses, schools, and restaurants for years and you’re probably used to seeing signs like “Wi-Fi here!” or “Free Wireless” when you go into a coffee shop or deli. The number of these networks has grown wildly in the last decade, thanks to the popularity of laptops and other portable electronic devices. Wireless IP cameras have developed around this technology, first starting out in the late 90s in ultra-secure locations like government buildings.
Wireless cameras haven’t always relied on modern, internet-based networks for transmitting their security footage. For years, government and law enforcement applications relied on microwave and radio wave technology and special transformers to transmit footage from camera to recorder.
Now, wireless security cameras utilize the same networks that computers do. This has several benefits – mainly being potential cooperation between computer, camera, and surveillance system. Wireless cameras networked with computers and networked video recorders (also known as NVRs or Network DVRs) can send their footage to a recorder, like other cameras, but they can also stream the footage over the internet, making it accessible from any computer in the world. This kind of flexibility is perfect for sensitive security needs, as the ability to check in on your camera feeds at any time gives you the power to act immediately should a situation arise.
What will happen in the future for wireless security cameras? As wireless networks become more prolific and part of our everyday lives, wireless cameras might start to show up in more and more places. Video analytics and integration will also probably have a huge effect on the way that wireless surveillance cameras function. Wireless cameras equipped with analytics, like wireless cameras now, will give management even greater power over their cameras and an even more responsive security system. Integration of wireless cameras into existing networks, computer systems and other forms of security will do the same, and interaction between cameras and other forms of technology will only expand the functionality and efficacy of the wireless security camera.
