Wireless vs Wired PoE

Wireless Security Cameras vs Wired PoE Camera Installation

Wireless is the affordable entry point. A wired PoE camera installation is a permanent improvement to your property, with 24/7 local recording on an NVR that keeps working even when the internet doesn’t.

Wireless Systems

  • Great where Ethernet isn’t practical

Considerations

  • Depends more heavily on Wi-Fi quality
  • Interference can affect performance
  • Some cameras require charging or nearby power
  • Cloud features may carry monthly costs
  • Continuous 24/7 recording may be more limited depending on equipment

Wired PoE Systems

Advantages

  • Extremely reliable connection
  • Power and data over one Ethernet cable
  • 24/7 local recording
  • Works locally during an internet outage
  • Higher recording consistency
  • Large NVR storage
  • Easier long-term retention
  • Excellent for businesses
  • Excellent for permanent installations
  • No Wi-Fi dependency at each camera
  • Easy network expansion

Considerations

  • Higher installation cost
  • Cable installation requires more labor
  • Finished homes may require attic or crawlspace access
  • Some structures require conduit or specialized routing

FAQ

Security Camera Pricing Questions

How much does security camera installation cost?

Our professionally installed packages start at $500 (plus about $12/month for the cloud plan) for a wireless doorbell and two cameras, $750 for a four-camera wireless system with no required monthly fee, $1,995 for a four-camera wired PoE system with a local NVR, $3,000 for a six-camera 4K system, and $5,200 for our eight-camera Diamond infrastructure package. Every property is different, so we confirm your exact price after reviewing the property and before any work begins.

Do wired PoE camera systems need the internet or a cloud subscription?

No. A wired PoE system records to a local Network Video Recorder (NVR) on your property. If your internet goes down, the cameras keep recording locally. The internet is only needed for remote viewing from your phone, and our wired systems don’t require a monthly cloud subscription.

How many days of footage will my system keep?

Retention figures are estimates. As a guide, 2 TB is about a week or more, 10 TB is about two weeks or more, and about 24 TB targets roughly a month under typical settings. Actual storage duration varies with camera resolution, bitrate, frame rate, audio recording, encoding settings and recording configuration. We can add storage if you need longer retention.

What camera brand do you install?

Zaxx Tech Solutions is an independent installer of Reolink camera systems. We don’t manufacture the equipment; we design the layout, run the cabling, mount and aim the cameras, set up the NVR and recording, and configure the Reolink app on your phone.

Should I choose wireless or wired security cameras?

Wireless cameras are the affordable entry point and work well in finished homes where running cable isn’t practical. Wired PoE cameras cost more to install but are a permanent property improvement: a more reliable connection, 24/7 local recording and much longer footage retention. Our quiz on this page can help you decide.

What can change the price of my installation?

Common factors include cable distance, construction type, attic or crawlspace access, conduit requirements, network upgrades, camera mounting height, commercial construction, lifts or trenching, specialized mounting, additional equipment. We’ll walk through anything that applies to your property before work begins.

Where do you install security cameras?

We install home and commercial security cameras throughout Southwest Virginia and the New River Valley, including Radford, Blacksburg, Christiansburg, Pulaski, Dublin, Fairlawn and the Roanoke area.
