Wireless CCTV Installation where cables cannot go
Cameras for places where cable is hard to run: garden offices, outbuildings, gates and rented homes, connected by Wi-Fi or a dedicated wireless link.
- Wi-Fi cameras
- Wireless links
- Minimal drilling
When cabling is not practical
Wireless CCTV that stays connected
Wireless CCTV is ideal where running a cable would mean lifting floors, crossing a garden or drilling through period features. It is also useful in rented homes, where you want to keep drilling to a minimum.
Wireless still needs planning. A camera is only as reliable as its signal and its power supply. We check Wi-Fi strength at every position, use dedicated point-to-point links for longer distances, and make sure each camera has a reliable power source. Where a cable is the better choice, we will tell you.
- Signal strength tested at every camera
- Point-to-point links for longer distances
- Reliable power for each camera
- Honest advice on wired versus wireless
