Digital video security camera systems are easy to install. In fact, it takes less than a few minutes to determine the system that’s right for you, and have it installed in your home or business. Some government security camera systems take a little longer to install, as they tend to be more complicated, and tend to cover a much larger area. The great thing about digital video is the quality of the signal that is transmitted and recorded. Another great thing is variety of features available with digital video recorders, such as: High resolution Hard Disk Storage, Date/Time or Event or Segment search, built in multiplexer that allows simultaneous recording of multiple security cameras. Both of these factors provide you with a top of the line security camera system for protecting your property. Availability: There was a time when video surveillance was used only in big malls and shopping centers. These days, you can see CCTV’s almost any place you go, from a small shop to homes and religious centers. Thus, they ensure greater public safety at a fraction of the cost. Real time monitoring: Traditionally, large companies have always enjoyed the benefits of video surveillance manned by security experts. In the past, the events captured on video were used to uncover important information and act as evidence after the event had occurred. But, newer technologies allow users to monitor and respond to alarms in real time. Remote access: One of the biggest benefits of modern video surveillance programs is the fact that they can be accessed from a number of remote locations through various devices like a PC, PDA or even the cell phone. So, no matter where you are, you get the message. Proactive: A new network of video surveillance programs has allowed organizations to take proactive control of their security. With these changes, for the first time, individuals and businesses have an opportunity to be actively involved in their risk management and loss mitigation. Many businesses are therefore introducing highly sophisticated video surveillance programs so they can protect people and assets, minimize liabilities and avoid trivial lawsuits. High quality images: Another important advantage of using video surveillance is the ready availability of evidential quality video and audio footage. In the unfortunate situation where security has been breached, this evidence becomes vital in nailing down perpetrators and collecting information. Video surveillance becomes even more powerful when companies and organizations move away from implementing surveillance as an end in itself to working out a broad policy of how video can be used strategically in the day to day running of the business. When video surveillance becomes a part of the organizational culture, businesses can realize significant benefits in terms of security, employee productivity and improved bottom lines. Protecting Security Cameras from the weather isn’t just about stopping them from becoming damaged, there’s also the issue of image quality. If weather conditions are likely to become severe, or lighting conditions are poor, Infra Reds can offer a solution. They need very little light to capture images. Many top end Outdoor Cameras will auto adjust shutter speed, in response to changes in light conditions.. Thus providing a more superior image quality. Another feature available is ‘day and night’ mode, with these Cameras you can manually change settings, depending on light conditions. Not so convenient as the ‘auto adjusting’ models, but very useful nevertheless. Usually, these models have the Infra Red function ability, and also have motion detectors. Many Outdoor Cameras fall short with regards to ‘night viewing’. Pan / Tilt cameras will provide much more coverage, eliminating ‘blind spots’, the main disadvantage of fixed cameras. It depends on your needs, but there are certain features which would be best to invest in. If you really want to ensure your home’s protected.
