Security cameras are nothing new and there is no clear platform that works best for all. That said, the wireless versions of these systems do seem to be the most popular. Up until a few years ago Wi-Fi cameras were less than ideal, but as Wi-Fi routers have become more powerful, providing better range and increased bandwidth, these cameras make sense for many people. The use of Wi-Fi means there are no wires to run, except for power, which makes the installation quick, cheap, and can be completed by anyone. Another benefit is that you can easily move them from place to place as needed.
