4 Wireless Spy Cam Problems
In this day of wireless cell phones and security very few people know that having a hardwired Internet connection to a computer is a lot more reliable and secure that a wireless one. One camera system out there that is even better than wireless and is just as secure as a hardwire connection (but is not an actual hardwire connection) is the WiLife Video Surveillance Systems. They instead use the electrical wiring where the surveillance camera is plugged in to send the video signal back to the command center where the video surveillance software is installed. The limitation is that the PC the command center is installed on must be in the same location as where the Surveillance Cameras are located. But that’s true of wireless PC’s networks in general, so no big deal.
Most people who are not in know about current wireless security systems out there think just because they prefer to have wireless surveillance camera’s think there is no wires attached to it all. But the fact is is that the spy cam video feed is wireless but AC power is still needed to power the camera’s electrical components. Some wireless spy cam and other video surveillance cameras can use a battery pack, but this is only temporary because batteries cost money to be replaced and rechargeable batteries still need constant recharging. On average a wireless mini spy cam will only last 8-12 hours on a 9V battery.
Security is also an big issue. Most surveillance spy cams today broadcast an analog 2.4 GHz wireless signal though airwaves going back to the receiver. Any device in the location of the transmission can intercept and hijack the signal and view the hidden video surveillance camera feed, so there goes your security. If for instance you set up an analog wireless X-10 camera in your home or office, anyone in the area where the feed is being transmitted who is set up to see wireless cameras will be viewing video straight from your wireless X-10 cameras.
If you decide to go with a networked wireless cameras are also susceptible to video theft. Numerous information about wireless networks suggest that an overwhelming majority of America’s home wireless networks lack sufficient protection from outside hackers. According to figures from Gartner, some 80 percent of U.S. residential wireless local area networks, or WLANs, will classify as “unsecured” by 2007. The Stamford, Conn.-based research company contends that 70 percent of successful attacks on home wireless systems through 2006 will be the direct result of improperly configured WLAN access points and mismanaged client software. When connecting your wireless surveillance camera or computer, you should always view the connection and make sure it’s secure.
So let’s look at a picture shown below that shows the WiLife End-to-End Video Surveillance solution that securely transmits IP video over existing electrical wires. Not only do they feed the video securely through common electrical wiring, they offer the stability of hardwire connections. This built-in encryption is always secure and immune from wireless security issues of a current wireless spy cam and in turn better than wireless.
