Wired Security Cameras

Yes. Wired security camera system is more difficult to hack because they don’t rely on wireless signals that can be intercepted. For example, the eufy Indoor Cam C210 uses a hardwired setup with local storage, making it far less exposed to remote attacks. While every camera carries some risk if networks are compromised, wired solutions significantly lower that risk.

1. Plan camera placement.
2. Gather necessary tools and equipment like cables, power supply, drill, and mounting hardware.
3. Use the drill and hardware to securely mount the cameras in the desired locations.
4. Connect the cables from the cameras to the recording device or monitor, hiding them for a neater installation.
5. Plug the cameras into a power outlet.
6. Connect the recording device (DVR or NVR) to a monitor and configure settings.
7. Test and adjust for optimal coverage.
