What is a home security wireless camera?

A home security wireless camera is also called a "Wi-Fi camera" or "Smart camera." It conveys its footage over Wi-Fi and runs on AC power. You can see your home footage on your smartphone, tablet, or a PC from anywhere if you are connected to an internet connection. Moreover, you can plug wireless cameras into an outlet via a power cable. Essentially a wireless camera is not wireless; rather known as wireless as it works on wireless internet (Wi-Fi).

How do home security wireless cameras work?

Wireless security cameras interconnect through Wi-Fi with the base station or home security system's router.
Most have a power cord, while others work on a battery system.
They save their footage on a cloud server and can be quickly reached from anywhere.
Some of them can also save video on local media, like a micro-SD card in the camera. Furthermore, you can easily install a wireless camera on your device and view its detection.
Wireless cameras typically start recording at detection motion or sound. However, you can set some cameras to record 24/7 when plugged into power.
These cameras record high-definition video and can record in the dark if they are supported with night vision.
They generally come with two-way audio characteristics. It means that you can communicate with the person the camera is watching.
Some latest wireless cameras work on machine learning which supports them to send alerts at detecting something suspicious.
Moreover, you can also install them on your device and connect them with Bluetooth to check activities on your phone or tablet.
