As crime and theft from homes and business continues to rise, so does the need for additional security. Security personnel in businesses provide a visual deterrent for criminals. But both business and home security systems provide a far less obvious security presence. This is where security cameras come into play.
The modern security camera comes in a wide range of shapes and sizes. The wired varieties can fit into clocks, stereo speakers and into smoke detectors. Wireless security cameras are far more flexible and can be positioned in almost any location. They can be positioned in places that the burglar would never suspect and make a fantastic addition to the business or home security system.
Internet based wireless security systems are a good way to monitor remote locations. The cameras will transfer the video signal through a local area network (LAN) adapter or a wireless network, then on to an internet protocol (IP) address. If you are out of town or on holiday, it provides a way for you to monitor your premises from anywhere in the world. Some Internet based systems will actually send you an email to alert you if a movement detector is activated.
Home Security Cameras, the type that are often fitted in a home security system, are usually powered by 9 volt batteries, which provide up to 10 hours of power. Even the slightest movement will activate the motion sensor in the camera. As soon as the camera is triggered it will begin recording video, taking pictures or streaming live video to another computer, possible at a remote location.
Digital Video Cameras are often much smaller than their non-digital counterparts. They can still record video for an extended period of time. The pictures and video can be stored and edited on a computer. They play a major role in the DVR Security System products that are so popular these days. They remove the need for recording to tape. A digital video camera can store data in its memory for transfer at a later time.
Security Cameras have been around for many years, technology has become cheaper and these items have found their way into homes and small businesses. A home security system is a great asset which provides piece of mind and a good way to protect the family home from intruders. The low price of a quality home security system brings them with most people's price range.
