If you are looking
for an outdoor weatherproof wireless camera, then click on Infrared
cameras or Bullet cameras.
If you are looking for a wireless hidden camera then click on Hidden
Cameras. This particular category deals more with transmitters
(TX) and receivers (RX). It does not really deal with true hidden
wireless cameras such as a CD Alarm Clock Hidden Camera.
This category offers outdoor weatherproof
transmitters that can connect to many of our outdoor infrared
or bullet cameras. Many people may already have an indoor
or outdoor camera and just want to make it wireless, or
the simply just need a transmitter and receiver for another
use.
Please keep in mind
all transmitters, receivers, and all wireless hidden cameras still need electricity
to operate. We do not recommend battery operation. What
exactly does wireless mean? This category somewhat combines
3 selections that are very closely connected. - Mini Cameras with
built-in transmitter
- Transmitters
- Receivers
Below
we will try to explain a few basic details. Virtually all cameras can
be made wireless. A wireless camera consists of a camera,
transmitter, receiver, and power supplies to power the wireless camera as well
as the receiver. The transmitter is connected to the camera and the receiver is
connected to the TV, VCR, or computer. Whenever we sell a wireless
camera or just a transmitter, we always include the receiver and power supplies.
People that already have a hard-wired camera may want to make it wireless, so
we sell transmitters & receivers separately without cameras. There
is no soldering or wiring involved to convert a hard-wired camera to a wireless
camera. You just plug the transmitter into the camera and one power supply normally
powers the transmitter and camera. We hope this helps you. Below is a small explanation
of some of our sub-categories. Wireless
cmos cameras: This category allows you to select a "CMOS" (Complementary
Metal-Oxide Semiconductor) miniature camera with a built-in transmitter. All of
our wireless camera packages come complete with receiver, AC adapters, and cables
to connect to a TV or VCR. Professional
wireless packs: This category has a variety of high-grade transmitters
with our best cameras. The packs are quite complete and ready for professional
surveillance. Some of the video transmitters also have audio jacks. The
transmitters and receivers in this category and throughout this website are single-channel
or 4 channel. Line of Sight:
This term is used quite often and quite loosely. It means the distance that
can be attained when there is absolutely nothing in the way between transmitter
and receiver. These two items must be level to each other and antennas perfectly
aligned to each other. Normally these conditions are only achieved in laboratory
tests. Most people only get a fraction of the "Line of Sight" measurements.
For example, one wall is considered one sheet of drywall; a normal wall has two
sheets of drywall and insulation. Most walls also have wiring inside as well.
So a person may only get 200 or 300 feet on a 1000 ft line of sight transmitter.
You may purchase just a transmitter and
receiver alone or with a camera. These wireless transmitters and receivers work
with virtually any camera. The conical
lens board camera and the flat lens board camera offered with many of our wireless
mini cams are the same physical size and produce identical quality images. The
only difference is the application you plan to use the camera in. Conical lens
cameras are easier to install in drywall or ceiling tile, whereas the flat lens
cameras are better on clothing or behind very thin surfaces. This category
is primarily for body wear, building your own nanny cam, installing a discreet
surveillance system in your home or office, and so on.
If you are looking for a hard-wired or wireless hidden camera such as a clock
radio or DVD player, then click on "Hidden
Cameras". Please study the Main Categories to the
