CCTV systems are a relatively new technology which has made inroads into the security industry especially in the past ten years. These surveillance systems allow users to monitor various locations in an efficient manner using a set of cameras and other surveillance equipment. They are cost effective and easy to manage, so business and homeowners alike have taken well to CCTV technology. As CCTV technology has advanced, CCTV cameras have become more cost effective, easier to install, and more user friendly. Business and homeowners find the prospect of monitoring their properties using CCTV security cameras a far easier task than in the past, and this is why surveillance cameras have become more popular.
One interesting development in CCTV camera technology is the creation of wireless CCTV camera systems. Before these cameras came along, the user was required to direct cabling from a particular camera to a central monitoring system. This required extensive planning and installation costs. Now with wireless CCTV cameras, the user can have a CCTV security system without worrying about the installation and maintenance of awkward cables. However, a wireless CCTV system does not come without some disadvantages. There is the problem of interference. If certain appliances are found in the vicinity of the wireless CCTV system, they could interfere the with wireless system’s signals. Also, wireless camera systems also operate best when there is direct line of sight. What this means is that a wireless system will work best when no obstacles, like walls, lie between the camera and its receiver. They are still functional with obstacles in the way, they just don’t function as well. For some this might be a deal breaker, but technology is advancing and some wireless cameras have managed to circumvent this difficulty.
Wireless technology is constantly advancing and soon wired CCTV systems will become obsolete. Cables for CCTV systems will become a thing of the past, and even today some wireless cameras are battery powered, which means no power cables. The prospects for the future of wireless CCTV systems looks promising as technology companies constantly strive to advance the industry.
