The Top 5 Wireless Security Camera Systems for Business

As a business owner, you have to protect your assets from intruders and theft. A wireless security camera system is an excellent way to deter criminals and prevent loss of property. A wireless security camera system offers advantages like ease of installation without trenching and cabling, remote access through smartphone apps and other platforms, and cloud-based storage and access. 

With so many options on the market today, choosing the right wireless security camera system for your business can be a daunting task. Making the right choice depends on several factors such as the type of business or property you are protecting, the amount of storage you need, the camera features you desire, and your price range.

In this article, we will look at the top 5 wireless security camera systems for business including the best option for farms, parking lots, offices, construction sites, and small-or home-based businesses. 

Agriculture- Hikvision Solar

If you run a family farm, tree nursery, or other agriculture-related business, you have specific security-camera needs that may differ from an office setting. Hikvision offers solar-powered security-camera setups that are ideal for securing farms, fields, and forests.

Hikvision’s solar cameras are designed to work in areas without power supplies. A solar panel transforms solar power into electricity and charges the battery, which can last up to 7 days without sunlight. The cameras are easy to set up and connect wirelessly to the internet. Hikvision offers a Value Series, a Smart Series, and a Performance Series, depending upon your price range. 

One available model is the DS-2XS2T47G0-LD(W)H/4G/C18S40. Features include the following:

  • 4MP ColorVu Solar-powered Security Camera Setup
  • High quality imaging with 4 MP resolution

Parking Lots- Ubiquiti NanoBeam

Another wireless security camera for business is the Ubiquiti NanoBeam. NanoBeam technology is an exciting innovation in the wireless security camera industry that works well when securing parking lots and outdoor businesses. Ubiquiti produces top-quality, reliable systems utilizing this relatively new technology. This technology uses radio frequency signals to transmit data between two access points, a “point-to-point” connection. 

If your parking lot already has light poles, mounting your wireless cameras on them is a convenient way to set up the NanoBeam system. The wireless point-to-point system requires the two access points to have an unobstructed path in order to communicate. Ubiquiti offers a variety of options that can be mounted on a pole, wall, or ceiling. 

Ubiquiti security systems are controlled by UniFi Controller Software. This web-based software is easy to set up and allows you to control your system in one convenient platform. The UniFi Controller streamlines adding new system users, monitors device health, and sends alerts if a device is offline. 

One model is the Ubiquiti Networks UniFi nanoHD 4×4 MU-MIMO 802.11ac Wave-2 Access Point. 

Features:

  • operates on both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies
  • nanoHD supports the intuitive UniFi Controller Software
  • UniFi comes bundled with a non-dedicated software controller that can be deployed on an on-site PC, Mac, or Linux machine; in a private cloud; or using a public cloud service
  • compact design delivers a cost-effective combination of value and performance-site PC, Mac, or Linux machine; in a private cloud; or using a public cloud service
