Dome cameras are designed primarily for ceiling mounting to provide a full viewing angle
The development of wireless technologies has made the video surveillance process more convenient, simpler and more accessible. Today, a large number of new capabilities of video surveillance systems are used. Due to the use of digital data transmission via a radio channel, which is carried out from the camera to the receiver, the displayed recording has no interference. The receiver is connected directly to the monitor, or through a video recorder. Here you can use four cameras at once, which are simultaneously viewed on the monitor.
Wireless video surveillance systems can be used for:
implementation of private and public safety;
for monitoring technological processes;
to monitor highways, stations and bridges in the transport sector;
to prevent theft and resolve conflicts in the commercial sphere;
conducting remote diagnostics in medicine.
This system is often installed at facilities without stationary utilities and when it is not possible to lay a cable.

stationary video recorder, which processes the information received from the camera and transmits it to the monitor;
a screen with a control panel, which makes it possible to monitor in real time the events occurring at the protected object;
the necessary devices for installing a video surveillance system.
Distinctive features of the system are:
ease of installation;
easy system setup;
the ability to place equipment anywhere in the room;
lack of cables that can ruin the interior;
small size and weight of devices;
the ability to integrate with other systems;
The mobile Wi-Fi camera is equipped with a video recorder that records and processes information
the presence of a built-in battery, which allows the device to work smoothly, even in the event of a power outage;
ease of disguise;
the ability to control the system remotely.
Varieties of video surveillance systems
Today, wireless video surveillance is very popular. In this regard, well-known manufacturers strive to produce improved and diverse equipment that can satisfy all consumer needs.
The tracking system can be located both indoors and outside the building. Wireless outdoor CCTV cameras must be protected from adverse external factors: dust, moisture, dirt and low temperatures. Lower requirements are imposed on the internal devices. Their installation does not require the use of sealed casings and the use of heating.
CCTV kit with wireless data transmission can include several video cameras for different purposes
By the type of body, the devices are domed, cylindrical, rotary and hidden.
The dome camera body is hemispherical, which is ideal for outdoor and indoor installation, fixing to the ceiling or wall without the use of special brackets. Cylindrical video surveillance devices have a housing that resembles a cylinder. These models are equipped with a special bracket for attaching the camera to the wall surface and adjusting it in the vertical and horizontal plane. Bullet cameras are equipped with an adjustable visor that protects the lens from light exposure.
PTZ cameras consist of a bracket on which a spherical body is attached. Its top can be made of plastic or metal, and the bottom can be made of acrylic or transparent plastic, which allows the lens to rotate freely, changing the vertical and horizontal position.
To control the area adjacent to the house, outdoor wireless dome or rotary video surveillance cameras are most often used, which have a high degree of protection against moisture and dust and are highly resistant to temperature fluctuations.
The viewing angle of the wireless dome camera can be adjusted or changed independently, depending on the need to view a particular area of the object
Hidden cameras for installing video surveillance in an apartment, in comparison with cylindrical and domed ones, have much smaller dimensions. Such devices are equipped with self-powered battery or battery. During operation, hidden cameras can transmit a stream of information to a laptop, tablet or smartphone via GSM, or record video to the built-in memory card.
Wireless video cameras for video surveillance by the type of transmission signal are of the following varieties:
analog, where the work and signal transmission is based on terrestrial television;
Wi-Fi cameras are represented by IP devices that work by installing an access point to the network;
webcams, consist of a video camera, transmitter, receiver, converter and require the installation of specialized software;
GSM cameras transmit a signal via a mobile communication channel.
WiFi Wireless CCTV Camera
For Wi-Fi camera operation, no additional wired connection to network sources and a computer is required. For their normal operation, a wireless Internet source is enough. The saved video can be viewed on both computer and mobile phone.
Some models of wireless camcorders are equipped with an alternative power source in case of a power outage
