Wired V's Wireless CCTV.
If you’re looking for a CCTV system for your home or business, one of the first choices you’ll have to make is whether to go for a wired or a wireless system. Below we lay out all the facts to help you make the right decision.
​
Installation Cost
While the parts for a wireless system are more expensive, the installation time required is a lot less than for a wired system (typically half). As a result, we can now install a wireless CCTV system for less than the cost of a wired one in most smaller premises.
In your home a wireless system is far more tidier installation. No ugly cables have to be fitted around doorways or hidden in plastic trunking and there is no need to drill holes through walls.
However, if your workplace has cable trays or suspended ceilings then the cabling/labour element of the installation cost will fall and the balance may swing in favour of wired.
​
Running costs
Wireless systems run on batteries, which we recommend changing every two years. These have a cost over and above the price of maintenance and the price of the panel battery used as a power back up for both wired and wireless systems. How much more depends on the number of detection devices on your system but it is not normally a large number and it is only every other year. Replacement parts are more expensive for a wireless system than for a wired one; however, all our parts come with a minimum one year guarantee.
​
Reliability
Wireless alarms used to be notorious for false activations. However, after more than 10 years of research and development they have more than caught up with their wired counterparts. In most people’s opinion both systems are as reliable as each other.
Disruption and Aesthetics
This is a clear winner for the wireless system. No wiring means a cleaner installation. It also means a much shorter installation time (for most wireless systems we are in and out in under a day) so less disruption in your home or workplace. These concerns are more geared towards domestic customers, however. If you can plan your alarm installation to take place during fit out of your workplace or refurbishment of your home, we can keep labour time and disruption to a minimum.
​
Flexibility
Extensions to a wireless system are simple. We can install new cameras, programme them into the system and it’s done. Wired systems are more complex, disruptive and time-consuming. With a wireless system, cameras can be located in the optimum positions, whereas wired systems are often restricted by cabling issues. Again, with large commercial premises this is less of an issue.
​
Conclusion
Given that both systems are equally reliable, we advise the majority of our domestic and small business customers to install wireless systems. However, for larger commercial premises, the running costs and scalability of wired systems usually get our vote, especially if we can install the system during fit out.

POE & POC
​
POE (Power over Ethernet)
POE is short for Power Over Ethernet, it's a common transmission way for IP system.
​
POC (Power Over Coax)
POC is short for Power Over Coax, it's a technology based on coaxial video, coaxial control and power superposition. POC technology transmits video signal, control signal and power in one coaxial cable.
​
Difference between POE and POC:
​
1-Different transmission medium
POE is transferred by twisted-pair cable, POC is transferred by coaxial cable.
2-Different transmission distance
The max transmission distance of POE is 100m;
Transmission distance of POC is more than 300m.
For POE, if want to transfer more than 100m, POE extenders need implementing into the system.
3-Fit for different systems
POE is to transmit network data with higher reliability, mainly used in IP video surveillance projects.
POC could save cost and time on wiring, it's mainly used in analog video surveillance projects.
And there is a new technology POE&EOC which fit for IP system.
