Wire-Free Security System
Here’s some good news: preliminary statistics from the FBI show that there was a decline in property crime for the first half of 2018.
While you were initially heartened by this report, you found that there are still plenty of burglaries being committed. Whether you ran your ZIP code through CrimeReports and found that there have been a number of burglaries in your area, or you heard from your neighbors about shenanigans on your street, you are ready to do what you can to boost the security of your home.
There are plenty of security camera systems on the market, but a wire-free system has a number of benefits that make it worthy of your consideration. Here are five to keep in mind.
1. You Can Install Them Anywhere
With wired-in security camera systems, you have to use cables to connect them to a DVR to power them, which can limit where you place the devices. In the case of wire-free security cameras, they run on batteries, so there is literally no limit to where you can put them. You can install the cameras anywhere in and around your home, and if you feel that you want to change where one or more are located, you can easily do that.
2. The Battery Pack Is Powerful and User-Friendly
In case you think that a battery-operated, wire-free camera system means that you will have to constantly buy new batteries, think again. Lorex sells a number of wire-free security cameras that each come with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery Power-Pack that you can easily remove from the camera with a flick of the quick-release function. In addition, when the battery in one of the cameras reaches 20 percent power, a low battery notification will be sent to your smartphone or tablet through the Lorex app; this way you don’t have to manually check the batteries all of the time or worry that they will conk out without you knowing it.
3. They Can Detect Heat Patterns and Switch On When Needed
Wire-free security systems don’t run all of the time, they are designed to detect what are called moving heat patterns with the help of a passive infrared sensor. When the PIR detects heat — which is usually from a person, car or animal — the camera will “wake up” and begin to record.
4. Top-of-the-Line Systems Include Night Vision Technology
Wire-free cameras not only see during the day; their infrared night vision technology means they can also capture clear footage at night. Since some criminals prefer to sneak around neighborhoods at midnight, the camera will easily capture any issues on your property.
5. They Feature Two-Way Talk
Some wire-free security systems also include a built-in microphone and speaker. The microphone will help to capture audio evidence like a trespasser’s voice, should you ever have someone skulking around your property. The microphone will also allow you to communicate through the camera; if the doorbell rings, you can use an app to speak with whomever is at the door, and you can also use this feature to check on loved ones inside or outside of the home.
Wire-Free Is a Solid Option
Installing a security camera system is a great way to feel more secure and put your mind at ease that your property is being electronically monitored. When you consider how easy they are to install, maintain and monitor, the wire-free camera system is a terrific option.
