A Flexible Option, But… Not Our First Choice
While wireless cameras can offer convenience and faster deployment, at Vulcan Security Systems we prioritize long-term performance and reliability. That’s why we typically recommend hardwired IP Video camera systems.
However, in cases where cabling is impractical or impossible, we offer wireless solutions as a secondary option, configured with caution and supported with honest expectations.
What Are Wireless Cameras?
Wireless surveillance cameras transmit video data over Wi-Fi or radio signals rather than physical cables. This makes them suitable for temporary setups or locations without easy access to wiring.
Limitations of Wireless
For high-demand environments, these limitations make wireless less than ideal.
Connectivity Issues
Susceptible to interference and signal dropout
Bandwidth Bottlenecks
May not support high-resolution streaming consistently
Unreliable Performance
Network strain or distance can compromise video quality
Power Still Required
Not truly wireless, cameras still need a power source
When Wireless Is Worth Considering
- Construction sites or mobile trailers
- Historic buildings or properties where wiring is restricted
- Temporary events or pop-up installations
- Small-scale systems where bandwidth demand is minimal
Vulcan’s Recommendation
We’ll assess your site and network to determine if wireless is viable, but we will always advise based on performance, not convenience.
