Wireless Cameras: Which Frequency?
There are three frequencies in use for wireless camera operation; 900 MHz, 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz. In general, the lower the frequency of operation, the better. At lower frequency of operation, the audio/video signal can easily pass through objects, trees and walls, compared to the same audio/video signal at a higher frequency. Consider the frequency of operation as the carrier frequency; the actual audio/video signal rides on this carrier frequency.
900 MHz
With this knowledge, it is obvious that the 900 MHz carrier frequency would be the best available choice. However, there are only two channels available on 900 MHz, and the frequency spectrum remains very crowded on this frequency.
2.4GHz
The only frequency available to UK citizens for licence-free, short range, low power communications. The approved devices have a ceiling of 10mW output power. Most devices in household use, such as phones, wireless routers, keyboards and mice use 2.4 GHz carrier.

The only frequency available to UK citizens for licence-free, short range, low power communications. The approved devices have a ceiling of 10mW output power. Most devices in household use, such as phones, wireless routers, keyboards and mice use 2.4 GHz carrier.
In fact, majority of wireless devices you see in the market actually make use of this frequency. This carrier frequency is also the preferred choice for wireless camera manufacturers. There are 12 channels available on 2.4 GHz frequency for wireless communication. If you live in a city like London or New York, it is possible that you may not find a single channel available for your wireless device. Wireless cameras (2.4 GHz) offered by Misky Wireless can usually operate on four channels. If you live in a place where 2.4 GHz spectrum is crowded, you can try all four channels and select the one that gives best results.
5.8 GHz
It is possible to buy cameras operating at 5.8 GHz carrier frequency (in US for example). This is a reletively clean frequency spectrum, and not much crowded yet. However, owing to the lossy propagation of signals at higher frequencies as mentioned before, the usage of this frequency for wireless cameras remains questionable.
5.8 GHz
It is possible to buy cameras operating at 5.8 GHz carrier frequency (in US for example). This is a reletively clean frequency spectrum, and not much crowded yet. However, owing to the lossy propagation of signals at higher frequencies as mentioned before, the usage of this frequency for wireless cameras remains questionable.
Wireless Control and Automation
Control and automation tasks can be executed remotely or wirelessly. For example, you can use your mobile phone to send sms messages that certain (configured) devices can understand. You can also send an email to an appliance to perform a certain task.

A few camera terms explained:
Image sensor: An image sensor is a silicon chip, behind the camera lens that records an image.
Image sensors are usually maunfactured employing two different technologies; CMOS and CCD. Although, CCD image sensors are known for better image resolution, CMOS image sensors are gaining widespread use because of lower price, low power consumption and increased speed.
CMOS, short for complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (technology)
CCD, short for charge coupled device (technology)
Resolution describes the total number of pixels that an image sensor records in one photograph (or in a unit area).
Pixel: Digital pictures consist of pixels, the smallest units or dots that compose the full picture. Each pixel has a color, that can be represented by an integer or a floating-point number.
