- IP Camera Systems. Also known as a wifi security camera system, wireless security cameras are equipped to transmit information without a wired connection. With this type of setup, you can view, store and save information via the cloud from anywhere.

How to Maintain Your Security Camera System
Once you’ve chosen to install a wireless or IP camera, it’s time to protect your security investment. Particularly if you’re placing a wireless security system outside, there are a few things you should keep in mind, including:- Weather. In Florida, the weather can change from one minute to the next. Typically hot and humid, condensation and heavy rain or wind can, at best, obstruct your view and, at worst, harm your wireless camera system if not properly installed. Additionally, extreme heat can be a concern for cameras that are made to be installed indoors.
- Cyber Threats. If you chose a wifi security camera system, it’s important to know that cyber threats do exist. Plan ahead by discussing threat mitigation with your service provider.
- Debris. Due to cameras being placed on ceilings and near corners, bugs and spider webs can cloud your camera’s line of sight. Furthermore, outdoor cameras are at risk during hurricane season should debris from wind become a concern.
