Wireless cameras

[Palomino 0]

Hello,

Question regarding wireless cameras.

 

Is there a good wireless camera model less then say $250 that can be installed outdoors under an eave and also has a BNC output on the receiver end so that it can be hooked into a regular dvr with bnc inputs. Hopefully the camera would have fairly good resolution like a decent wired CCTV analog camera would have.

 

Thanks,

 

Mike

Do you have power at this camera location?

Yes, power at the camera location is not an issue.

 

Actually there would be two cameras at the location aiming opposite directions.

Was just doing some searching around the net for wireless solutions for cctv cameras and found this made by Speco :

Anyone know how something like this works good or bad?

 

Thanks,

Wireless security cameras are closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras that transmit a video and audio signal to a wireless receiver through a radio band. Many wireless security cameras require at least one cable or wire for power; "wireless" refers to the transmission of video/audio. However, some wireless security cameras are battery-powered, making the cameras truly wireless from top to bottom.

 

Types of Wireless Security Cameras :

 

Analog wireless

Analog wireless is the transmission of audio and video signals using radio frequencies. Typically, analog wireless has a transmission range of around 300 feet (91 meters) in open space; walls, doors, and furniture will reduce this range.

 

Digital wireless cameras

 

Digital wireless is the transmission of audio and video analog signals encoded as digital packets over high-bandwidth radio frequencies.

Why would you want to wire a wireless camera? Or did I miss something?

I think you missed something, he wasn't talking about wiring a wireless camera...

I was looking at their cameras a while back. How are they? How's the quality? Any distortion?

On the same note, I just bought a convertible with a sunroof.
