Wireless vs Wired Cameras
Wireless cameras are easier to install and offer flexible placement. Wired cameras provide continuous power and more reliable connectivity but require running cables.
Video Resolution
1080p HD is the minimum for clear identification. 2K and 4K cameras provide sharper images and better zoom capability. Higher resolution requires more storage and bandwidth.
