Thanks
Thanks for explaining it with no spin or bull
Thank you!
Excellent video I know nothing about security cameras and this was a big help on a lot of different types and what to expect 👍
Thanks for the comment!
Thanks for this very important informational video. I am currently using Wi-Fi cameras as it was convenient and also cause I am currently renting and didn’t want to drill multiple holes through house for all camera locations. I really don’t like the WiFi for lagging reason I see a lot and complain about. When I see motion clips of suspicious cars pull up and park near my home and I go to check the full video on cloud, which by the way I’m paying $20 a month for, the cars just appear on camera and I don’t actually see them pull up no matter how slowly I scroll back the video. These WiFi’s has too many jumps in the playback. And sometimes I see a car pull in my driveway which is normal but many times I never see car drive to my driveway I just see a clip of the car pulling out and I wonder which direction did the car come from? I really want to just go hard wired and people hack into WiFi a lot and I’ve seen it so for that reason I only have them outside my home and no longer inside. But with hard wired I’d feel safe to monitor the inside of my home again..
Thank you for posting this. You explain the draw backs to wireless very well. Also good understanding of the benefits of hardwired. This post is exactly the kind of information we hope to generate with these videos. Thank you!
Thank you for this security camera comparison. I'm thinking about buying a security camera system myself here pretty soon. However I wanted to ask you three questions. What kind of hardrive do I need for the main component so I can record security camera footage? What brand does my hardrive need to be? And how much space do you recommend I should buy like a 1 Terabyte or 2 Terabytes?
Great questions. We highly recommend using hard drives designed for the work load associated with HD cameras. Normal hard drives usually fail within the first year. West Digital makes a line of "Purple Drives" which are specifically designed for security camera systems. We use them in our systems and recommend them to others. Here is a link to more detail: www.backstreet-surveillance.com/cctv-parts/surveillance-hard-drives.html
The size of the hard drive is a function of how many cameras you have, their resolution and how you are going to record them (continuously or on motion detection). The link provided provides guidance on choosing the hard drive size. Thanks for the questions, we hope this helps.
Thanks for your honesty and information, blessings back to you.
Thanks for watching!
Great explanation thank you very much
Glad it was helpful!
How about the risk of lighting striking the outdoor camera ? will that somehow damage the DVR as well ?
Yes it will. You can put surge suppressors in-line with the cables. It might protect the DVR but it will not protect the camera. Seldom are such devices used due to the costs and the fact customers can claim such damage on their insurance. Not saying that's a good thing but its what usually happens. Thanks
Thank you.
Great video ... do you train "service guys" I'm getting into the business overseas, the thing is that I don't have a clue of cameras and or systems. Great video.. where are you located? Just subscribed 👌🏻. God bless and Happy Holidays 🙏🏻
Thanks for the question. We do not have a formal training course but I would recommend studying the online how to manual we provide. Here is a link: www.backstreet-surveillance.com/security-cameras-made-simple-a-diy-guide.html
Thanks very much. Fi Ally i Can take a decision.
You are welcome.
Another downside for wired: relocatability.
How many holes are you going to punch through your wall every time you change positions.
Well, you only drill the amount of holes needed. And how many times are you going to move a camera? 99% of all cameras stay where they were first installed. They are permanent fixtures, like a light. Movable cameras fall under spy cameras and applications. Is your application spying? most people would prefer reliability over the remote chance they need to move a camera. And last you still have to drill holes to mount wireless cameras. Just some things you could consider.
@@BackstreetCameras great response.
I know this is an old video but what do you think of the new cams out that are wireless and solar powered? I have an older wired system and that was a PITA to install! I'm looking at a Reolink.
Wireless is getting better. Its still for convenience not performance. But in many residential applications it can be effective. We only work and test professional equipment. The Riolink is consumer grade as is Ring, Nest and the rest. So we wont have any guidance for you. We would live to hear about your experience if you do buy it. Thanks for the question.
Wireless? Don't even think about it. Rather, use a set of AP's in bridge mode. Ubiquiti's Nanostation is the most popular choice in the surveillance industry.
Solid option for sure.
I wanted the security camera to work only during the day, so I planned to install a timer that would turn on and off every day. Does that affect the camera when it's on and off every day?
The constant on/off on the camera can be a bit hard on the electronics. Most systems have schedules so you can just program them to start recording and stop recording at chosen times. I would consider this approach. Thanks for the question.
It says weatherproof, are the cameras able to work in Chicago winter weather?
My son lives in Chicago, cheers! Yes your winters are hard but not a problem, we sell into northern Alaska Nome etc. and our camera work just the same as Chicago.
great info! Thanks
Thank you
is there any outdoor CCTv camera with audio?
YES! Here is a link to the cameras we recommend: www.backstreet-surveillance.com/pro-vue-4k-live-video/pro-vue-4k-30fps-security-cameras.html
Do any of the ethernet wired cameras offer 2 way talk?
Some do but they are always a price point low performance camera. I have no idea why the surveillance industry does not produce better 2 way cameras but the best on the market is Ring, and we replace several ring camera everyday. We are not big fans of 2 way voice, they are always low cost price point cameras. Someday better will come.
Any recommendations on poe system?
PoE systems are great. We recommend them.
@@BackstreetCameras thank you for replying. What brand do you recommend?
Here is a link to the best we offer: www.backstreet-surveillance.com/pro-vue-4k-live-video.html
What about hacking a wireless camera
Yes, that's an issue. We're making new wireless videos which will cover that. They will be posted soon, keep an eye out. Thanks
links to purchase please?
www.backstreet-surveillance.com/ We would be glad to help.
Do most Amazon wifi cameras have password protection? Like so only me and my family can see though the camera? And not some weirdo who can just watch us or something?
Yes, they all do. The problem is the customer does not change the factory default password. So any weirdo who knows the factory password would be able to view the camera. So just change the password. Hope this helps.
If my neighbor across the street have cameras could they hear my conversation outside of my house
Very possible. Our ProVue cameras pick up clear conversations 40-60 feet away... here are some details: www.backstreet-surveillance.com/pro-vue-4k-live-video.html
Wireless systems....do you need internet wireless service at home to used these devices?
Hi Danny, It depends. Some wireless cameras and systems create their own wifi network, which is preferred. Others use your existing wifi network but that can cause some real problems with speed depending on how many cameras you have on the network. Would need more info to help with suggestions. Thanks for the question.
@@BackstreetCameras for my wireless router do I need a new router for my new new Nightowl. Cameras 8 of to them for my house and how to hookup and my cameras are 8wireless I need help now someone please call me back.925 214 7905 my name is Galensmith.
Hi Galen, you'll have to contact Night Owl, not sure if they offer phone support. Thats one thing that should be considered when buying cameras...their support. Thanks
In my opinion, Wireless security is unsafe and easy to circumvent, which is why I'd never use one.
We only use wireless when there is not other option. Agreed.
@@BackstreetCameras I can't think of any situation, where a wired system couldn't be used, unless the customer insists on not having the hassle of cable installation etc.
But then I struggle to understand thier logic of wanting security by installing insecure solutions...
What concerns me is how people use Amazon Alexa or Google home, for example, to control security critical infrastructure....
Unfortunately convenience has a cost.
Anyway, I've said my piece.... lol..... I'll leave you to it, as I'm even sounding preachy to myself........ have fun.
Who wants to have tacky wires all exposed coming from every camera with a 500 foot cord going through windows and through the house to a receiver smh and with the other option how can they claim it's a wireless camera system when you have to plug in each individual camera wire to a plug smh do they think people are stupid that's not wireless.
No argument here, all that is true.
