Burglary, Security, And Security Cameras

In line with the Uniform Crime Reporting Program Crime Clock

, there is a theft in the US every 14.6 seconds. Given that in just about 84% of burglaries the criminal gains entry into the house or residence, the use of security cameras provides the victim another chance to catch the perpetrator even if he/she has runaway at first.

The common electronic security system is comprised of a keypad, control panel, and sensors which are usually put at entrances like doors and windows. A few systems trigger alarms that are audible in the residence when initiated while others are linked to service centers and police dispatch sites. These types of security systems are actually relatively good at deterring crooks especially when mixed with warning decals or cautionary yard sign. Although quite a few consumers still tend to question their advantages, industry trends suggest that a lot more homeowners have begun to turn to security companies that also offer wireless surveillance camera providers. The truth is, the entire worldwide surveillance market is estimated to have grown by 3 percent in 2009. Additionally, a number of property owners will bypass professional security service companies altogether and will choose do-it-yourself home security products that include wireless window and motion detectors in addition to wireless surveillance camera features.

Efficient wireless surveillance systems and home security systems call for not only the installation of a security camera and an alarm. First of all, the security camera is virtually pointless if it is not also connected to a digital video recorder (DVR) as it would only permit the user to discover a criminal committing a burglary if he/she were actively supervising the system during the time of the crime. Considering the fact that in 2005 an estimated 62.4 percent of home robberies occurred during the workday between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m., the likelihood of a working homeowner catching a criminal in action is highly unlikely. Additionally, even if one were to witness the burglar in action there would be no documented video evidence of the criminal offense without using DVR technology. Thankfully technological developments allow for real-time video monitoring that can either be linked to a professional monitoring center or an online interface that permits users to plug to a live feed on the web from any remote site.

One more factor to take into account concerning home security camera systems is the set up and position of the cameras. If the cameras are not placed correctly then the system is going to be worthless and a robber may easily disable the security camera. In order to ensure optimal performance, security cameras need to be positioned in an elevated spot that's either out of sight or out of the reach of potential criminals. When installed it is also critical to ensure that all security cameras are placed in spots that allow for the widest line of sight and in addition places where the burglar would most probably choose to break in. A survey done in in Pennsylvania indicated that 81 % of home burglaries happened through the first floor and 56 % of residential burglars entered through the back or front door. Additionally, it is important that installed cameras are equipped with good infrared sensors that may allow the cameras to work during the night or in poorly lighted locations.
