Like smoke and fire alarms, these sensors can work as stand alone alarms or connect with your security system. It’s always a great idea to connect detectors to your system so that a monitoring center can notify you and emergency dispatch in case the alarm is triggered. Some wireless home security systems offer a video recording storage option and others don’t. For the ones that don’t, you are able to see a live video feed of your home any time you access your system; however, nothing is recorded. The systems with video storage generally include either a local storage or cloud storage option. A local storage option saves a pre determined number of video clips on the device itself. This option is usually cost free. A cloud storage option saves your video clips in the cloud. However, this is usually a paid service and the number of hours it will store will depend on how much cloud storage you are willing to pay for. Wireless security cameras combined with a DVR are a good way to give a home or business better protection without running wires. Keep in mind a wired system will most always perform better than a wireless system, with higher resolution and feeds that weather or other WiFi devices wont effect.
