Should you Choose Wireless IP or Stand Alone Camera?

A wireless covert camera can be purchased using wireless IP technology or as a stand alone device.

How do you choose which technology to use - Wireless IP or Stand Alone?

Advantages of Wireless Covert IP Camera

Wireless covert IP camera - If you want 24/7 access of the streaming video footage your camera is capturing viewable from a web browser then you'll surely opt for the covert IP camera.

The IP camera basically is set up to upload all live video and images straight to the internet. These cameras are built to function as web servers, so all you have to do to view what's happening on your premises is type in the hardware address (IP address) of your camera into any browser connected to the internet.

So if you're at work or at the local WIFI coffee shop checking up at home is a cinch with a wireless covert IP camera.

Advantages of Stand Alone Covert Camera

Stand alone wireless covert camera - These units store all video and images right to the device itself.

There is no need for WIFI, routers, software or anything else to capture the video footage.

Basically you set the camera up in the room, point it in the direction you want to capture turn on the power and press record.

An SD card stores all the data and is located inside the camera. You can play back your video in 2 ways.

Playback Option 1 - To play back, you simply remove the SD card and either play it back on your computer or a DVR player. A 2GB SD card will record continuous for about 4-5 hours.

Getting longer play time out of your SD card - Here's the problem...you set the camera in a room hoping to catch your cheating spouse; you press play and the camera starts recording from that moment. Hopefully all the action wll take place within the 4-5 hours because the SD card is limited to about 4 to 5 hours. Now, to add to your anxiety, you're wondering if the SD card is simply capturing dead air. With your luck the camera will run out of memory long before the guilty parties arrive. How can you get around the limited memory problem?

You can increase the record time on your SD card by simply setting the camera to capture images at a desired time interval - for example - every 10 seconds. This way the camera snaps a picture of the every 10 seconds rather than hogging the memory with continuous video. You may be able to get 40-50 hours of footage this way because the camera use much less memory resources in this mode.

Playback Option 2 - You can also connect an RCA jack to the device itself and connect directly to a TV monitor for live viewing.

Connecting live with the RCA jacks and staying "covert" may take some thought as hiding the wires may become an issue and may even blow your cover.

Will you need Audio and Video?

All wireless covert cameras, IP and stand alone, capture video but NOT all cameras capture audio.

Ask yourself if recording sound is critical now or in the future to your covert monitoring.

When might you need it?

If you have a babysitter watching your small children capturing audio may be critical. How will you know conversation is appropriate within your 4 walls once you're gone?

In the case of detecting a spouses infidelity, the audio feature can easily pick up phone conversations within the room the camera is placed - which may uncover evidence of cheating.

So think hard before you buy a spy camera and decide if the audio is critical...you'll then have to check specific models to find out if audio is included.
