Wireless cameras teeter the scales on the far end of the ease of install with virtually no security. One of the hard truths of physical security is that there's a balancing act between convenience and ease of installation and security. With that being said, using a screw mount is way more secure than a magnetic one! The screw mount is still less secure than our professional line cameras, so it's important to mount the camera in a place where potential thieves can't reach it. Major competitors often only include magnetic mounts. It comes with both magnetic mounts and screw mounts in the box. If you're looking at wire-free cameras, the Eufycam2 is still pretty secure. If physical security is your biggest concern, you'll want to go with a wired system because it's extremely difficult to steal a wired-in security camera system- you'd need to bring power tools. All you need to do is charge your battery for several hours, for a year's security! Now, you don't have to worry about the battery continually running out, making your home less secure. In contrast, Euf圜am2's 46 hours of real-world battery life is easily three times that of its competitors. Blink XT2 was one of the biggest offenders claiming "2 years" for only about 15 hours of use, which translates to less than 1.5 minutes a day across two years. 14 hours across six months translates to about 5 minutes per day. Every single manufacturer has their own specifications of what so many months of use may be on their cameras-they design it to be flattering for their product.įor example, Arlo Pro 2 claims "6 months," but when you dig into their specifications, you discover that "6 months" really means about 14 hours under optimal conditions. When comparing Euf圜am2 to other wireless camera offerings, we discovered that there is no standard test of battery life for wire-free cameras. This is an area where Euf圜am2 truly shines - offering one year of battery life or about 46 hours of usage. When you purchase an SCW Admiral wired system, you don't have to worry about battery life! This is a huge benefit and increases your security because your system won't ever run out of power.īut if you've decided that a wire-free system is a better fit for your unique needs, it's important that you pay close attention to battery life. if you go with another wire-free system, you won't have SCW's premium technical support during your installation process! Also pay attention to what kind of support the company provides, if any. Read the details carefully and make sure that your "wireless" camera is truly "wire-free" like the Euf圜am2. When a company says that they sell a wifi camera, they may still be referring to a camera the needs to be plugged into a wall outlet for power. That's a major benefit of going with a wire-free system. Most wire-free cameras are easy to install. In fact, installing one Euf圜am2 system only takes about five minutes. If you're looking for a solution that’s super easy to install, SCW's wire-free Euf圜am2 systemsare the perfect option.
