Wireless Connectivity for security
Video transcript:
Hi, welcome to Pocket-size Buzz, a series of videos for
the security industry that proves that good things come in small packages!
When asked about using wired or wireless connections, we usually
advise that wired is a better option due to the inherent security advantage is offers.
However, wireless does have a place, especially if there are physical or geographical deterrents
to installing wire, or because it’s not financially viable to dig trenches.
It might be that a barrier to access an estate has local
power but no communications and is some 800m away. So, in this case,
wireless would be a good choice to bring video and data back from an ANPR/Intercom solution,
helping to keep the cost of civil works down and offering a workable solution.
If you do go wireless however, you must consider important rules like line of sight,
enhanced encryption, site surveys and testing before installation.
