Things To Consider When Buying Home Security Cameras

Home security has become more imperative in recent years as records show increasing numbers of robberies and home invasions. It is easy to think it will never happen to you, but when it does, it shatters your sense of security in your own home. Not only is it likely you lose possessions but peace of mind goes out the door right along with them.

How do you prevent yourself from becoming the next target of burglars? It is proven that external security cameras, when sited properly, do act as a deterrent. Granted the professional burglar determined to invade your property may not be put off by a single camera, however will he really be willing to take the chance of being caught on camera?

Taking active steps to protect your home should be second nature and investing in and installing a security camera system is a good place to start.

When you come to buy security cameras there are several things to keep in mind. First of all you need to decide how many cameras you want and whether to use only external cameras, internal cameras or a combination of both. Obviously, external cameras must be bought for purpose, that is, they must be suitable for coping with all weather conditions. You might also consider whether you want your camera to be able to record images at night. If so you want what is termed night vision cameras.

You also need to consider whether you want a system that is wired in (hard wired) or one of the more modern wireless systems that easier and cheaper to install and are, in general more adaptable.

Siting of the cameras is crucial. They need to be placed high enough that any potential burglar cannot reach to deactivate them but also where they will cover the best areas. For example covering a door or window.

Internally, carefully work out where the best place is for siting your camera to cover vulnerable points. Entry points at doors and windows are evident but also consider hallways. As a general rule burglars will head directly to the master bedroom if they have gained access to your home. Mostly it is in the bedroom where most of us keep valuables like jewelry. Therefore a camera sited to cover the hallway outside your bedroom door could prove invaluable.

There are several other things you might want to think about. For example, do you want your camera to record live video or take so many frames per second photographs. Do you want it to record in black and white or in color? Black and white is cheaper but then the quality is poorer and the pictures can be blurry. That is fine if all you want is to know when an intruder is present, however they are less efficient in identifying culprits for future prosecution. Similarly with resolution, if you can buy a camera with the highest resolution you can afford to give you much clearer reproductions.

Also consider how you are going to store the video or images when they are taken. Be sure that the camera you pick has sufficient memory capacity to store 24 hours' worth of data. You might also start considering what happens to the data when it the memory limit is reached? Do you want it stored on the camera or sent to a hard drive elsewhere?

There are many things to consider when investing in home security cameras, but in the end, they are well worth the research you put into finding just the right one for you and your family.
