Smarthome has been in business since 1992, and has become one of the world's largest retailers for home automation equipment. One of their best selling line of products is their wireless surveillance cameras. If you are looking for a convenient way to purchase retail wireless surveillance cameras, you need to look at Smarthome's selection.

It doesn't matter whether you are in the market for an indoor or outdoor wireless security camera; Smarthome offers a broad selection that is likely to have exactly what you are looking for. Let's take a closer look at some of their popular wireless indoor and outdoor camera selections to give you an idea of the cameras they carry.

Wireless indoor surveillance cameras

  • Pan/Tilt Wireless Camera -- This camera is designed to give you the ability to have both remote viewing and remote camera control capabilities. This tiny wireless camera actually comes with a built-in web server which allows you to wirelessly connect to your network even if you do not have a local PC. The built in web server feature gives you the ability to allow up to 20 users to remotely view the video feed from this camera directly over the Internet.
  • Another great feature of this camera is the pryo-electric infrared sensor, which detects movement by sensing the temperature of an object. If the infrared sensor is triggered, you can configure the camera to automatically begin recording and trigger an email alert to your email address or mobile phone. This camera sells for $369.99, and offers a great selection of features that give you a broad range of coverage and versatility.
     

  • Mini-Air Watch Wireless Color Camera -- This camera camera is one of Smarthome's smallest models. It comes with a 2.4GHz wireless receiver that can receive transmissions from the camera up to 300 feet away if there are no walls hindering the signal. The camera itself transmits vivid color video and audio directly to your TV or VCR. This camera is a good choice if you are looking for a camera that can be easily hidden or need to position a camera in a spot where there is not a lot of space. This camera sells for $100.00.
     
  • 2.4 GHz Color Wireless PIR Camera and Receiver -- This camera also comes with a 2.4 GHz wireless receiver, which connects directly to your television or monitoring device. The camera itself features a built-in PIR motion detector that instantly activates the camera-recording feature when triggered. The transmission range on this camera is around 100 feet, but can span up to 328 feet in an open space. This camera normally sells for around $119.99, but it can be purchased now for $69.99.

Wireless outdoor surveillance cameras

  • Outdoor Wireless Network Pan/Tilt Cam -- This rugged outdoor pan/tilt model camera comes with a built-in web sever allowing you to view live video feeds directly over the Internet without the need for an on-site PC. The remote pan/tilt feature of this camera gives you the ability to view a wider area, and control the cameras direction directly from your PC or cell phone. A two-way audio feature also allows you to communicate directly through the camera speaker itself.

    This camera also has some powerful recording and motion sensing triggers. The camera can be set to record when heat or motion is sensed. Additional sensors can also be added that sense sound or light. This is an extremely versatile and durable camera, and is built to withstand the harshest of weather conditions. This camera is priced at $1,000.00.
     
  • 2.4 GHz Solar-Powered Color PIR Camera and Receiver -- This unique camera is powered exclusively from the sun. It can transmit both video and audio up to 250 feet. This camera contains a PIR motion detector that when triggered automatically starts recording the event. This camera does come with a backup battery to allow it to remain operational at night, but it will require a minimum of at least 3 Lux of light to capture video images. This camera is a great choice if you wish to mount a camera outside in a location that is not near a power source. You can purchase this model now for only $159.99.
