Is 2.4GHz really for Best Home Security?

The Basics: 2.4GHz vs. 5GHz

2.4GHz Connection: Known for its longer range and better penetration through walls and obstacles, the 2.4GHz frequency is a staple in many household devices. It's the go-to choice for devices that don't require high bandwidth, making it ideal for smart home gadgets such as sensors, door/window alarms, and basic surveillance cameras.

5GHz Connection: Offering faster speeds and less interference due to its wider bandwidth, the 5GHz frequency is perfect for bandwidth-intensive tasks like streaming high-definition video. Devices that benefit from 5GHz connectivity include high-resolution cameras, video doorbells, and systems that demand low latency for real-time monitoring.
