Wireless cameras are one of the easiest ways to protect your home, with a much quicker setup than traditional CCTV. One common cause of confusion, however, is that wireless CCTV still needs to be connected to a power supply, so that it can transmit. So what if you're not able to run cables at all-around your property? This new Gamut battery-powered CCTV system is the ideal solution, with a camera powered by a Lithium-Ion battery, for a completely wire-free installation.
The camera is fitted with a PIR sensor, so it can detect a moving subject's body heat in order to trigger recording. Passive Infrared means the camera uses very little power when it's "asleep". This helps save battery power in between use, allowing up to 6 months' monitoring on a single charge. Do note: the camera will only record when triggered, and it can perform up to 12 hours recorded footage in total. So on one battery charge, it can record in total for about 12 hours split over however many motion events that takes. For example, if the camera is recording 10 seconds of movement each time it is triggered, you could get, approximately, up to 7000 recordings from one battery.
The footage is recorded in clear 1080p HD, with infrared LEDs providing 8m night vision. The camera even has a built-in speaker, so you can talk back to subjects near the camera from your phone. When the battery needs charging, you can easily undock it from the camera base without taking it down from the wall.
The kit also includes a wireless recorder with a preinstalled 1TB hard drive to store footage. The recorder can connect to up to 6 cameras at the same time, providing an easy way to expand your system at a later date. The recorder connects to your internet router, letting you securely watch & control your cameras from anywhere, using a PC or smartphone.
Please note: As with all wireless transmissions, the range of the camera will vary depending on the layout and materials used in the building. Obstructions such as walls and windows between the camera and receiver will affect the wireless signal. The range can be significantly impacted by obstructions such as walls, and the effective operating range varies from 25 to 50 metres.
