Cellular Security Cameras: What Are Their Pros and Cons?

A measure you can take for your home’s safety and security is to invest in security cameras. They will give you peace of mind knowing that you can monitor your property even if you aren’t around. Today, you have various options to choose from, one of which is cellular security cameras.  

What Are Cellular Security Cameras?

Cellular security cameras can be installed in both residential and commercial properties. Unlike other surveillance cameras, they do not need internet connectivity. Instead of being wired, they are connected to a cellular network for data transfer. With this type of security camera, monitoring your home is more convenient than ever. 

What Are Their Pros and Cons?

Pros

With wireless cameras, there’s always the possibility of getting hacked through the internet. This scenario is unlikely to happen with cellular surveillance cameras. They operate on the same network as your cellphone, making them difficult to hack. 

These cameras are battery operated or solar powered, meaning they will continue to run even when there’s a power outage. Other interesting features they possess include night vision, motion detection, night vision and remote access. Working with a reliable smart home installation company or security provider is key to keeping your surveillance secure. 

Cons

The drawback of cellular security cameras is that they have a higher upfront cost. However, they typically come with a higher price tag due to their advanced features and technologies. You may also need to pay for a cellular subscription for every camera you install.
