Nowadays, installing a home security system is so easy and affordable that more and more people are setting up cameras inside and around their homes. Wireless security cameras are convenient because you don’t have to deal with pesky wires, and while wired security cameras rely on your home’s electricity to stay on, wireless cameras function with a battery, so they’ll continue operating even in the event of a power outage. The problem with some wireless cameras? Their batteries die, and you have to remember to replace them every so often. Enter EverCam, a wireless security camera with a battery that lasts a full year.
