Home Surveillance Cameras – One Of The Best Methods Of Home Security By andyj00
There are many crime preventative measures that can be taken to secure
your home and one of the most highly effective methods is to install
home surveillance cameras. Not only do they capture and record images
but they act as a visual deterrent for would-be intruders. One of
the reasons for recording images of course, is for post-incident
analysis when investigating an attempted break-in so that they may
be used in evidence when convicting an intruder. Don't forget the
basic items such as what type of locks are used for home security,
alarm systems and monitoring as well.
There are various types of surveillance cameras from those that hook straight into you TV set to those that record digitally onto a hard disk. With IP based cameras you can even view the images anywhere in the world, via the internet. Recording images digitally has moved on considerably in recent years and as disk storage is so cheap and video compression software has improved, hours of footage can be stored from many cameras.
Security cameras can be either permanently switched on so they record all of the time or can be activated to record by sensors similar to those used on outdoor security lighting. Additionally they can
be set to record time lapse images, taking still pictures at a set time interval. With home surveillance cameras, you will have the peace of mind that they are recording the vicinity outside of your home, day or night, whether you are at home or at work.
Security surveillance cameras can be installed indoors where you might want to monitor activity in certain rooms, for example a room with a safe or a room where you might keep your most valuable items. There are convert surveillance cameras which record in secrecy. Often known as “nanny cams” these devices are hidden in everyday items such as clocks, kid’s toys, picture frames and lamps. Their purpose is usually to record someone who you have employed in your home such as a nanny or workmen.
When installing surveillance cameras there are some issues which you need to consider with regard to privacy. As you don’t want to be accused of spying on neighboring properties make sure your cameras are pointing at you own property. You should not be deliberately viewing areas outside of your own property’s boundary unless it is unavoidable.
