If you want to install CCTV cameras to protect your business premises, then you can opt for a traditional wired system. However, a wireless system might be a better option. This kind of CCTV security comes with some of the following installation benefits.
1. Quicker Installation
Even if you use experienced technicians to install a wired CCTV system, your business will have to deal with some disruption. Your security company will have to install wiring through the building to connect the system up. They might have to do some drilling. You might need to keep people out of certain areas while they work. Plus, they might need to turn off your power during parts of the job.
All these factors affect your ability to keep your business running smoothly. The installation itself could take some time.
If you use a wireless system, then you get faster installation. Your technicians don't have to do any cabling work; they won't need to turn your power off at any point. So you get cameras up and running quicker, and your business won't be disrupted.
2. Lower Costs
Wired CCTV systems can have higher costs. You have to pay for cabling and connection parts. You might need to buy a series of mounts for your cameras. Plus, the extra time it takes to set up a wired system adds to labour costs.
Wired CCTV systems often work out cheaper. You don't need any cabling or traditional camera mounts. So you save money there. Your technicians can also put the system together and get it working a lot more quickly, so your labour costs won't be as high.
3. Design Flexibility
You will have planned out your new CCTV system before they come to install it. However, you sometimes run into problems when the installation starts.
For example, you might find that you can't fit a camera in a place you wanted one to go. Or you might have missed a location that needs coverage. Making changes to a wired system at this stage can add to your installation time and costs. You might end up with blind spots if you can't easily change your configuration at this stage.
This is less of a problem with a wireless system. As long as cameras are in range, they can go anywhere. You can change a location on the spot if you need to.
