A wireless security camera transmits video wirelessly from a transmitter (built into the camera) to a receiver (a DVR or monitor). However, wireless security cameras still need wires for power. Batteries cannot provide the power needed to sustain a camera and transmitter for more than a day or two.

The average cost for this is around $200 per camera with $100 for installation, and a monthly monitoring fee of around $30 per month. Unmonitored systems are available for similar costs, without the monthly follow up fee. Most people install a minimum of 4 cameras at a time, for a total cost of $1,200 at time of setup.

Install Surveillance Cameras at the Front Door. Around 34% of burglars enter through the front door, so you definitely need a security camera watching. Place your camera at second-floor level to avoid a burglar from knocking out your camera.

These devices work on a simple principle. The camera contains a wireless radio (RF) transmitter. This transmitter broadcasts the camera's video, which can be picked up by a receiver, which will be connected to a monitor or recording device. Some receivers have built-in storage, while others must be connected to a DVR.

Most wireless cameras are technically cordless devices, meaning that though they transmit a radio signal, they still need to be plugged into a power source. Still, wireless is the commonly used industry term. Some cameras do have batteries, of course, making them truly wireless.
