The decision between battery-powered and wired security cameras depends on a few key factors. Cordless cameras offer easy, wireless installation and are particularly suitable for locations without a power supply. In contrast, wired cameras guarantee constant power supply, resulting in higher image quality and expanded features.

The choice should be based on the availability of power connections, installation flexibility,
Monitoring duration and budget must be made. Battery cameras have a variable
battery life, while wired models require more complex installation
require.

Safety aspects should always be kept in mind. For both battery and wired cameras, secure encryption, data protection features and regular software updates are crucial. You also have to decide which functions are most important to you and whether you need the additional functions of a wired surveillance camera for your own security concept.

Installing a security camera is crucial to its effectiveness. Here are the steps comparing wired and battery-powered models:

Wired Security Camera – Oculus Pro:

1. Check power connection: Make sure the location you choose is near a power source. Wired cameras require a continuous power supply. If necessary, you can use an extension cable.
2. Mounting: Attach the camera to the selected location and connect it to the power source. Make sure that the cable is laid safely and protected.
3. Connect: The Oculus Pro security cameras offer a WiFi or LAN connection. Make sure there is a sufficient WiFi signal at the installation location or connect the LAN cable. In order to access the live video, the camera must be connected to the network.
4. Configure settings: Adjust the settings: recording times, motion detection, orientation and night vision, among other things, can be adjusted in the device settings.

Battery-powered surveillance camera – Apollo 2:

1. Check battery: Make sure the battery is fully charged or use the solar panel.
2. Mounting: Choose a location for the camera and attach the camera using the included mounting hardware. Because no power source is required, battery-powered cameras offer more flexibility in placement.
3. App connection: Install the Weber Protect app on your smartphone. Follow the instructions to connect the camera to the app in just a few steps.
4. Adjust settings: Adjust the settings: motion detection, video resolution and night vision, among other things, can be adjusted in the device settings.

Decision factors:

Flexibility: Cordless cameras are more flexible in placement, while wired models require a constant power supply.

Function: Wired surveillance cameras offer significantly more functions and setting options. Battery-powered cameras are designed for flexibility and long battery life.

Installation: Installing battery-powered cameras is easier and requires no wiring, while wired cameras require a reliable power source.

Monitoring Duration: Wired cameras are active all the time, while battery-powered models vary depending on battery life.

Choosing between wired and battery-powered security cameras depends on individual needs, power availability and preferences.

This feature ensures comprehensive and collaborative monitoring, regardless of the number of connected phones.

Camera & Lens
The Oculus Pro boasts a high-resolution QuadHD camera , while the Apollo 2 offers 2K resolution . A key distinguishing feature is the flexible control of the Oculus Pro , which can be rotated 355° and tilted 90° via the app. In contrast, the Apollo 2 has a fixed lens, which can be freely adjusted to optimally cover the desired area.

Image quality & sensors
The Apollo 2 relies on a particularly light-sensitive sensor that delivers detailed images even in low-light conditions. The Oculus Pro, on the other hand, offers not only higher resolution but also AI-assisted image enhancement and a 20x optical zoom , enabling precise monitoring at greater distances.

Night vision
Night vision capability is another distinguishing feature:

• Apollo 2 : Multiple infrared LEDs enable clear night vision up to 20 meters .
• Oculus Pro : High-performance infrared LEDs offer an impressive range of 100 meters . Additionally , four floodlight LEDs provide color night vision with a range of up to 50 meters . Thanks to an intelligent automatic mode, the camera can switch seamlessly between infrared and floodlight mode.

Motion detection & tracking
Both cameras feature state-of-the-art motion sensors:

• The Apollo 2 uses a classic PIR sensor that is optimized by AI-supported image analysis .
• The Oculus Pro relies exclusively on intelligent image analysis , which analyzes every single frame. This achieves extremely precise motion detection.
  In addition, the Oculus Pro offers motion tracking , which automatically keeps people in the frame – the camera follows movements dynamically to keep an eye on what is happening.

AI & analytics functions
The Oculus Pro features advanced AI algorithms for object detection and motion analysis , minimizing false alarms and pinpointing relevant events. The Apollo 2 combines the proven PIR sensor with AI-powered image analysis to ensure efficient alarm triggering. Both cameras offer optimized real-time image processing for maximum security.

Assembly & area of ​​application

• Thanks to its wireless operation, the Apollo 2 is extremely flexible and can be mounted almost anywhere. For optimal results, a maximum mounting height of 5 meters is recommended.
• The Oculus Pro requires a dedicated power supply , which means it's tied to existing installations. Thanks to its 20x optical zoom, it's ideal for surveillance from higher altitudes. Furthermore, the automatic patrol function enables targeted surveillance of large areas.
