Looking for the best wifi camcorder. 2 stars of the IT market in Russia

The future is coming. Wireless Wi-Fi devices have replaced the endless ropes of electronics that spoil the design and renovation of premises. Where are they used, and how to choose the best Wi-Fi CCTV camera? Let’s talk about this.

Scope of Wi-Fi equipment

Devices with Wi-Fi modules are very convenient, so they are used in almost all areas of activity:

• shops and shopping centers;
• residential buildings, entrances, parking lots, garages;
• offices;
• warehouses;
• restaurants, cafes;
• construction sites, and more.

Video surveillance with a remote signal module gained popularity due to the preservation of all monitoring capabilities, the development of shooting quality, and convenient installation.

And for more details about the installation of video surveillance, read our article: “The best place to mount a video camera. Expert recommendations“.

Working principle

How does a Wi-Fi camera work? You will need a Wi-Fi hotspot with an Internet connection for the device to pick it up. To make the camera work, you only need a 220 V socket. Read about whether video cameras can work without light here.

The power supply can either be plugged into the network or mounted directly from the cable in the junction box.
