Home Camera Systems: Do They Actually Work Or Are They failures

?

Humans are funny creatures - it's only when a burglar actually breaks into their house that they wake up to just how much they have been neglecting the security of their home, yet deep down in their subconscious they knew it all along. They say prevention is the best cure, and this certainly applies to safeguarding your home and ultimately your family. One of the most important lines of defense is your door, and not only should it be sturdy but the locks on them should ideally have been installed by you. Of course a chain is only as strong as its weakest link, and flimsy windows are an easy target for trespassing. If all else fails, the sounding of an installed alarm will work wonders for scaring off an intruder.

An alarm might (in most cases) shoo off an intruder, but then you don't know who it was unless you have a security camera. Banks and other commercial or public areas are no longer the only places where camera monitoring systems are ubiquitous - thanks to their affordability they are also very common in private homes. One of the biggest ways that a security camera can protect your home is through deterrence - a visible camera or a sign would cause a potential thief to think twice. You could be living in the safest part of town and still be robbed, so wherever you live a video monitoring system can bring you peace of mind.

Prices of all electronics are at an all-time low, and surveillance systems are no exception. A bonus is that they are incredibly easy to find, being available in most general retail chains. In fact, you can get a weatherproof camera with nightvision for less than 100 dollars - an investment that is worth much more than the cost. Not only will it protect your property, your family and your valuables, but because of this you will also pay less for insurance so that you will get back your investment in savings in no time.

As many and varied the types and makes of security cameras are, you really need to do your research and know what you want and what you're getting. Do you have spare power sockets at home? Are they placed close to where the cameras will be placed? If not, are you willing to invest in cameras that use batteries to run? Remember to factor in the cost of batteries and the need to replace or recharge them consistently. If that doesn't sound too appealing, you could instead invest in installing extra power sockets near where you want to place your cameras.

Speaking of which, you also need to carefully consider where you want to place your security cameras, and how many you might need to cover every strategic spot that you have decon. The most common location for private homes is the front (and possibly also the rear) entrance. What are usually neglected however are windows - fragile and common points of malicious entry. Wherever you place them, video surveillance systems can also be supplemented with other technology to enhance security. In fact, most already come with such technology such as phone, email and text alerts.

Whether you're meeting some friends for coffee or on a plane to the Caribbean, with a video surveillance system you can rest easier knowing that something is watching your home.
