Today we are going to take a look at the best wireless security cameras for businesses, to protect your premises without the need to shell out thousands of pounds.
As a business owner looking to improve their security, you are probably all too aware of the threat of thieves to your bottom line. But why get wireless security cameras?
The main benefit of investing in wireless security cameras as opposed to their wired counterparts comes from the increased flexibility and ease of use, compared to wired security cameras.
One main advantage which many of you will appreciate is that you should have a lot less trouble installing and fitting the cameras in a manner which won’t upset your landlords or neighbours, assuming you are based out of a rented commercial property.
Luckily there are a wide range of fantastic options on the market to suit just about any business need, so whether you need to prioritize budget or are looking for a camera with excellent night vision, we are sure you’ll find an ideal fit from our best picks below.
Without further ado, lets take a look at the best wireless security cameras for businesses of 2023.
1. Reolink Argus 3 Pro – The Best Overall Wireless Security Camera
The Reolink Argus 3 Pro is our top pick for the best overall wireless security camera for business owners in 2023. This tough decision was based on a load of factors, including price, recording quality, desirable features and overall ownership experience. These little things are small and inexpensive, but don’t let its stature fool you – the Argus 3 Pro is a stunningly capable little device, and hooking up a few of these will help protect your property with ease.
The configurability that comes with this camera is downright immense – the software experience has been absolutely nailed by Reolink, and has capabilities that extend far beyond what you might have expected if you are new to security cameras. As an example, you can set the camera up to detect people and vehicles, and ping you a notification on your smartphone when a person is detected.
It’s also got a very capable microphone for picking up on noises nearby. On top of just recording noise, the camera also comes with a built in (loud) speaker, which means that you can actually use the camera for two way communication – if you like the idea of being able to shout at an intruder you’ve spotted, or perhaps give your workmates a fright, I would get one of these without a moment’s hesitation – it never gets old.
Argus 3 Pro – Recording Resolution
The Argus 3 Pro supports video recording in up to a resolution of 1440p. Gone are the days of blurry, useless cameras of old – camera footage from this looks like a smartphone.
Argus 3 Pro – Storage
In terms of storage, the Reolink Argus 3 works in a similar way to most of the competition – it supports recording to an SD with up to 128GB of capacity, which is more than enough, and exceeds that of many other cameras.
Argus 3 Pro – Connectivity
Whether you are on 2.5GHz or 5GHz Wi-Fi, don’t worry – the Argus 3 Pro supports both, and covers a majority of modern wireless internet connections.
Argus 3 Pro – Battery / Power
If a long battery life is important then you will appreciate the Reolink’s large built in rechargeable battery. If fully wireless isn’t your cup of tea, you can also keep a charging cable plugged in to power it, or alternatively power it from a solar panel!
Conclusion – The Reolink Argus 3 Pro is The Best Overall Option
It’s got it all – long lasting battery, great software, stellar recording quality and a very reasonable price point. What is there not to love? For a vast majority of businesses, whether you’re working from an office, industrial unit or outside area, a few of these dotted around will give you the peace of mind you’re looking for.
The ability to run these off of solar panels or completely wirelessly lets you set these little cameras up just about anywhere you could want, without needing to shell out on long cables which could give away the positions of the cameras. That’s the other great part about the Reolink – their tiny size makes them almost impossible to spot for any potential wrongdoers, even in broad daylight.
2. ieGeek 2k Wireless Security Camera – Best Cheap Option
So you’re working on improving security on a strict budget – not to worry, ieGeek have got you covered. This little wireless security camera still supports high resolution video recording of up to 1440p, which is pretty fantastic, especially at this price point (typically around £50-£60). The only real downside is the, frankly mundane name. To save you from getting a migraine whilst reading this, I’ll refer to it as the “ieGeek 2k” from now on.
Despite its price, the ieGeek 2k has a brilliant amount of features that will help you get the most out of it. Although arguably not quite as great as the software capabilities that the Reolink offers, the ieGeek does still have some really useful features including 2 way audio, person detection and an ip65 waterproof rating, so you can run it in the elements.
ieGeek 2k Wireless Security Camera – Recording Resolution
Just like the more expensive Argus 3 Pro, the ieGeek supports video recording in up to a resolution of 1440p. The smoothness of the video is a bit worse though, so I would personally lower the resolution a bit and opt for a higher frame rate.
ieGeek 2k Wireless Security Camera – Storage
The ieGeek has a Micro SD slot which also supports a maximum capacity of 128GB, which is more than enough for a majority of users. It’s important to note the camera can be configured to only start recording video and saving it to the SD when motion is detected, which is more efficient than recording 24/7.
ieGeek 2k – Connectivity
Unlike the Reolink, the ieGeek 2k has opted to instead support Wi-Fi connectivity via 2.4GHz. They claim this is to ensure that the signal is more stable and works better when transferring through solid objects such as walls. All you need to know is it should work absolutely fine and streaming the camera feed to your phone should be hassle-free.
ieGeek 2k – Battery / Power
Let’s be honest – every single manufacturer of any electronic device is probably a little ambitious with their battery life claims – although ieGeek say that their camera should last for around 3-4 months, in the real world don’t be surprised if that’s more like 1-2 months from experience. Still more than enough though, which means that you really can run this camera fully wirelessly if you so desire, unlike many of ieGeek’s inferior competitors.
Conclusion – The ieGeek 2k Wireless Security Camera is The Best Option for around £50-60
In summary, the ieGeek 2k is an excellent little wireless security camera which is ideal for both home or business use. At this price point they really don’t break the bank, and since you’re likely going to be needing several security cameras for optimum coverage this option is absolutely brilliant. Who would have thought just a few years ago that you could fully kit out a fairly large commercial unit with HD security cameras for under £500, and have the feed accessible straight from your smartphone?
3. Eufy EufyCam 3 – Best For Multiple Cameras
Don’t be put off by the price – this bundle is an awesome deal if you are in the need of multiple wireless security cameras to secure your premises.
You are getting 3 security cameras (eufy 2c’s), a Homebase 2 and all other bits and bobs you need to get these up and running.
The Homebase 2 is a great, unique feature of the eufy camera system – it’s basically a nifty looking Wi-Fi extender that boosts your Wi-Fi signal for the security cameras, allowing you to position the cameras further away than you otherwise would. This is an absolute godsend to businesses working with a larger space.
Like the other options, the eufy 2c cameras which come in the kit support two way audio, so you can have a conversation with people on the other end. This is one of those things where you might not think it’s a feature you particularly need, but once you have tried it you couldn’t imagine living without it. Imagine being able to sit at your desk and talk to the person you caught in the kitchen and tell them to bring you a coffee. Awesome, I know. Of course, this also allows you to communicate with sneaky trespassers and has all kinds of other legitimate business benefits, but coffee is the main one. Thanks eufy.
This fairly inexpensive bundle might get overlooked by many, but it’s a really strong contender for wireless security cameras for businesses, especially thanks to its easy setup and no nonsense software.
Like the ieGeek, eufy works from 2.4GHz Wi-Fi too.
Conclusion – These 3 Wireless Security Cameras are Perfect for Businesses.
There you have it – 3 amazing wireless security camera solutions for businesses. Whether you go with the Argus 3 Pro for it’s awesome camera quality and battery life, the ieGeek for it’s impressive value or the eufy bundle to get full coverage of your premises, I’m sure you will be happy with what you get.
