Wired vs Wireless CCTV in Kenya
Wired systems are more stable for permanent installs. Wireless helps when walls are finished or you rent.
CCTV Cameras Kenya supplies and installs CCTV cameras, DVR/NVR systems, access control, alarm systems and electric fencing nationwide across Kenya.
When wired wins
Choose cable when you own the building, want 24/7 DVR or NVR recording, and need several outdoor cameras.
When wireless helps
WiFi cameras suit apartments and indoor spots where drilling is restricted. They still need power. Thick walls can block signal.
Cost and maintenance
Wired kits cost more to install but fail less often. Wireless can look cheaper on day one, then need router fixes.
