Wireless security cameras
Are they any good ? eBay has lots. Any gotchas to watch out for ?
Have to monitor a door and one of these would save me cabling. Distance from camera to computer would be only about 30ft through two stud walls. |

There are only about three channels available at 2.4GHz which is the common legal wireless band. All the receivers I have seen allow you to select the channels so you can have more than one camera. They also interfere with/by bluetooth and wireless lans on that frequency allocation. There is another band at 5GHz which has more bandwidth if there are cameras available. spose depends how pervy/antisocial your application is Dennis...... How so? I don't have any wireless cameras or receivers. Mine are ethernet cameras and use wires. |

FWIW my recievers have 4 channels... They also interfere with/by bluetooth and wireless lans on that frequency allocation. Not noted here to any detriment There is another band at 5GHz which has more bandwidth if there are cameras available. also now being shared with LAN / other wireless devices?? spose depends how pervy/antisocial your application is Dennis...... How so? the pervier your app the more concerned you would be about others viewing your erm "material" ?? I don't have any wireless cameras or receivers. Mine are ethernet cameras and use wires. say no more ;) Jim K |
