Outdoor security cameras are powered by wires connected to a power source. The good news about our cameras is that they don’t require a lot of electricity to operate.

Security cameras do not always need to be connected to Wi-Fi unless you want to view the camera feed on your phone. Some cameras allow local recording, and the footage automatically goes onto a hard drive or microSD card, so you can view it later. With local recording, you can still connect the camera to monitoring teams.

Installing an outdoor home security camera requires covering your home’s entry and exit points. Since cameras need a power source, identify the proximity of the nearest outlet as well. It’s wise to consider placement options before selecting an outdoor security camera.

It depends on the type of camera you have. Wireless cameras operate on batteries and therefore do not require an electrical power source. Wired outdoor security cameras do need electricity to operate and must be plugged into a power source.

To power your outdoor camera, the process varies based on the type of camera system you have. For wired cameras, they are typically connected to an electrical outlet. The wires are discreetly hidden behind walls to maintain the aesthetic appeal of your home. For detailed installation or specific inquiries, speak with a security professional.
