The Composition
Ideally, you should have the following components to set up a wireless camera system.
1. Wireless Camera
You should choose a wireless camera that employs CCD technology, constructs image/video in colour and provides a resolution of around 500(H)* 500(V) pixels or better. It is very important that the wireless camera should provide night vision. Infra-red LEDs enable the camera to see in the darkness. Look for a minimum of 20 infra-red LEDs and more than 10 meters night vision range.
If the wireless camera is to be mounted outdoors, make sure the wireless camera housing is sufficiently robust and sturdy to withstand sun, rain, strong wind and tempering.
It is desirable to choose a wireless camera with very low lux rating. A low lux rating enables the wireless camera to construct a clear image even in low light conditions.
You can hide the wireless camera inside a doll or a clock and it will work steadily while the signals are recorded on the regular VHS cassette tape. So get the wireless camera for different needs: a nanny camera to keep an eye on the nanny, a doorbell camera to see who is at the door, and an outdoor wireless camera to check on your property while you're away.
There is no need to be alarmed about wireless camera. Contrary to popular thinking, these are easy to set up and use.
2. Receiver
Receiver is the component of the system that receives the image or video signals (wirelessly) and converts these signals in a format suitable for monitor (or TV) input. If this unit has the image or video storage facility, then the device is called DVR (digital video recorder).
Usually, your DVR should support at least IGB memory. Receiver (or DVR) may have more than one channel. This means, it should be possible (ideally) to use as many wireless camera, as many channels are available.
3. Monitor
In most cases, you should be able to use your home TV in order to see the captured images or video. The receiver (or DVR) connects to your TV via cables. Your TV however, doesn't have to be connected to DVR all the time. If it is a simple receiver, you can monitor images or videos in real time only.
It is possible to find small screen dedicated battery-operated monitors, most of which include the receiver (or DVR) unit as well. If you intend to use your computer monitor for viewing purpose, be assured that the receiver or DVR generates signals compatible with PC monitors.
