Wired vs Wireless – What’s Best in Vaughan?
🛠️ Wired Cameras:
- 24/7 recording without lag
- Weatherproof and tamper-resistant
- No Wi-Fi interference
- Better for large homes, plazas, warehouses
- Cleaner installs when done professionally
📶 Wireless Cameras:
- Fast install, good for short-term setups
- Lower upfront cost
- Not ideal for poor Wi-Fi zones or large homes
- More common in rental units or low-traffic properties
Pro Insight: 90% of Vaughan’s serious installs are wired. Wi-Fi cameras choke in brick homes and steel-framed buildings.
