Battery WiFi Wide Angle Security Cameras: Insider Tips to Choose & Best Picks to Cover Large Areas

You know that battery security cameras are good solutions for sites without power source.

But is there any battery wireless wide angle security camera that can monitor large areas?

In a separate post I explained the ins-and-outs of battery powered security cameras, and now I’m going to expand on all you’d wish to know about the battery WiFi wide angle CCTV security cameras.

Why to Choose Battery Powered Wireless Wide Angle Security Cameras

There are good reasons why you’d prefer the battery powered wireless wide angle security cameras.

Let’s take a look at each…

1. Large Field of View

The battery WiFi wide angle security cameras feature broader filed of view than the ordinary counterparts.

That is to say, you can monitor large areas (such as backyards, driveway, warehouses, etc.) with a single battery wireless wide-angle CCTV security camera while leaving no blind spots.

2. Reduce Your Cost

Since a battery powered wireless wide angle security camera can match several non-wide angle ones in terms of performance, it can greatly save you the cost to buy more cameras as well as the security camera accessories (like batteries and housings).

3. Portable, Flexible & Easy to Install

As with the other types of wire-free security cameras, the battery operated wireless wide angle security cameras also boast easy installation, great flexibility and scalability.

Taking the battery outdoor wide angle security camera Reolink Argus® 2 for example, this video below will best show you how portable and flexible it is!

How to Tell Battery WiFi Wide Angle Security Cameras from Non-Wide Angle Ones

What is exactly a battery powered WiFi wide angle security camera? And how can you judge if the products for sale are truly wide angle battery CCTV cameras?

Here are what you can do to outsmart the sellers and get the best bet.

1. Check the Focal Length of Battery WiFi Security Cameras

The security camera lens size (also called focal length), should be your top priority when it comes to choosing the battery wireless wide angle security cameras.

The smaller the focal length is, the larger field of vision your battery WiFi outdoor security cameras can see.

So with other factors being equal, an IP camera with the 3.6mm lens can cover wider areas than a security camera with the 12mm lens size.

Another shortcut to get a battery WiFi wide angle security camera is to look through the product specifications, where you can directly find the camera’s filed of view.

2. Battery Wireless Security Cameras with Pan and Tilt Often Reach More

If you are searching for a battery wireless wide angle security camera for large areas such as a backyard or driveway, the battery pan and tilt cameras could also be a good alternative.

Capable of rotating vertically and horizontally, the battery powered wide angle security cameras with pan and tilt serve as your extra eyes to ensure no blind spots.

You can also control the pan and tilt direction on your phone or computer to expand the viewing angle of battery WiFi security cameras as you wish.
Editor’s Tip: The pan and tilt feature is not necessary if the security camera is wide angle and can deliver 100 degree or more field of view, just like the battery wide angle security IP camera Reolink Argus® Pro and Reolink Argus® 2.

3. Watch the Video Samples of Battery Wide Angle Wireless Security Cameras

The advertising texts can cheat on you.

But the videos shared from real users won’t.

To settle on the best battery powered wireless WiFi wide angle security cameras, one of the most reliable ways is to watch the video shared by real users and to observe the camera’s field of view.

Taking the battery WiFi wide angle security camera Reolink Argus® 2 for example, below is what you can see in your backyard.

4. Read the Battery Powered Wide Angle WiFi Security Camera Reviews

As you may wonder, does this battery operated WiFi security camera really have wide viewing angle?

Well, search the camera reviews online and you’ll get the most objective answers.

Normally, the battery powered wide angle WiFi security camera reviews from the top media would cover a breakdown of the camera pros and cons, so that you can draw your own conclusion to decide whether the camera is worth your money or not.
