Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between indoor and outdoor security cameras?

Indoor cameras are designed for indoor use with features like two-way audio and compact design, while outdoor cameras are weatherproof and built to withstand rain, snow, and extreme temperatures.

Where does the video footage get stored?

Footage is either stored locally (on a microSD card) or in the cloud. Many brands offer subscription plans for cloud storage and advanced features.

How are wireless security cameras powered?

Wireless cameras are typically powered by rechargeable batteries or plugged into an outlet. Some models also support solar panels for continuous, maintenance-free charging.

Are home security cameras compatible with smart home systems?

Many modern cameras integrate with smart home platforms like Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple HomeKit, enabling voice control and automation.

What are security floodlights used for?

Security floodlights are used to illuminate dark areas around homes, businesses, and properties to deter intruders and improve visibility at night.

Do security floodlights really deter crime?

Yes, studies show that well-lit areas are less likely to be targeted by criminals. Bright, motion-activated floodlights can startle intruders and reduce hiding spots.

How does a smart video doorbell work?

When someone rings the bell or triggers motion detection, the smart doorbell sends an alert to your phone. You can then view a live video feed, talk to the visitor, or review recorded footage.

What’s the difference between a smoke detector and a carbon monoxide alarm?

A smoke detector senses smoke particles from fires, while a carbon monoxide (CO) alarm detects carbon monoxide—a colourless, odourless gas produced by burning fuels like gas, wood, or oil. Both devices are essential for home safety.
