Wired or Wireless?
Whether or not you want your security camera to be hardwired or not is another factor in your decision.

That either means hiring an installer, or buying the cable and taking the time to do it yourself.
On the other hand, wireless cameras can be placed virtually anywhere with ease, because you don’t have to worry about running new cable or patching into existing cable runs. Signal security is also becoming much less of an issue, thanks to ever-improving encryption protocols like WIFI Protected Access (WPA) and Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP).
