Available on the market today are consumer level long-range cameras. Designed specifically for long ranged surveillance, these cameras provide superior detection over entry level security cameras.
Standard long range cameras have a line of sight transmission range of up to 1,500 feet (450 meters). This is the optimal viewing distance and may vary depending on the environment and time of day the cameras are operating under. At night cameras of this specification will have reduced visibility ranges, down to approximately 100 feet (30 meters).
With added wireless functionality on certain models, connectivity can be obtained anywhere where the cameras wireless signal can be picked up. Its important to note though that if the camera is set up outside of several obstacles connectivity ranges will be reduced as the wireless signal has to pierce through these objects.
Because of the large visibility range and wireless function these cameras they can be set up in places standard models can not. This can increase the rate of detection as the cameras can be hidden in unsuspecting or camouflaged spots.
