FAQ

What is WIFI NVR camera system?

A WiFi NVR (Network Video Recorder) system is a type of wireless camera system that enables CCTV cameras to record video and audio digitally, storing the data on a network storage device such as a hard disk. 

Unlike DVR (Digital Video Recorder) systems that record analog video on tape or hard disk, NVR systems capture digital video through the Internet Protocol (IP) network. IP cameras connect directly to the network and transmit video data to the NVR wirelessly. This setup offers higher video quality, advanced analytics features, remote monitoring over the internet, and the flexibility to expand the system with multiple cameras.

What is the difference between a wireless camera and a WiFi camera?

The terms "wireless camera" and "WiFi camera" are often used interchangeably, but they can have distinct meanings. A wireless camera typically transmits video data to the recorder without data cables but still requires a wired power source. 

In contrast, a WiFi camera connects to the network wirelessly and may be solar-powered or wired-connection making it a truly wireless camera system. This distinction is important when planning the installation and power management of your surveillance system.

Does a WiFi camera work without electricity?

WiFi cameras require power to operate. While some models are powered by batteries or solar panels, many WiFi CCTV cameras rely on a wired power source. Therefore, in the absence of electricity, unless the camera has an alternative power supply like a battery, it will not function. Check out the SriHome solar battery camera now.

Can I access the WiFi CCTV system remotely?

Yes, our WiFi NVR camera systems offer remote access via dedicated mobile applications or web interfaces. This feature allows you to monitor live feeds, review recordings, and manage settings from anywhere with an internet connection.
