The first webcams relied on slow parallel or serial cable connections to stream video to monitor screens. With the advent of USB in the late 1990s, webcam video improved considerably, but it was still tied to the computer because the cable required to connect the camera was relatively short. Modern wireless cameras let users break the wired chains and place a camera virtually anywhere; it’s also possible to connect and view the camera from remote locations. There are several types of wireless cameras that you can view on a computer, and with a few easy-to-use gadgets and network devices, you can even make traditional wired cameras wireless in just a few minutes.
