Home Security-cheap Security Cameras-the Top Three
Recently here are in my hometown of Colorado Springs there has been a rash of home invasions
. Home invasions are different from a burglary in that the perpetrators deliberately choose a home that they know is occupied. A burglary is done when the occupants are away.
So, in many respects, a home invasion is much more threatening because there are people involved. There's usually much more to a home invasion story than what you see on TV. It usually involves drugs or some kind of payback for illegal activity. But nonetheless, they are on the rise here in the Springs and all across country.
The biggest no-brainer prevention tool I can tell you to use is your door peephole. People just reflexively open their front door when they hear the doorbell. That is a bad mistake! All the bad guys need is an inch and they are in. Use your peephole and you'll be way ahead of the game. But there are other things you can do to discourage home invasions.
Home security cameras provide a great deterrent and are really not that expensive.
Here are the top three home security cameras that you can use to prevent burglary and home invasion.
The first is a wired, indoor/outdoor infrared IP camera that has night vision capability up to 60 feet is completely waterproof and has 420 TV lines of resolution. IP cameras work differently because they record directly to your hard drive on your computer. The software that comes with this IP camera can support up to 16 cameras. You can login remotely and view your video from anywhere in the world. You can also set up an e-mail to notify you of motion.
The second is the vandal resistant day/night color dome camera. This has 36 infrared LEDs for night vision distance of 80 feet. It manually rotates 360 degrees and is completely waterproof and dust proof.
The third is the low light outdoor bullet camera that can be wired or wireless. Wireless model include a free 2.4 GHz receiver. It has a 3.6 mm lens and is only 4 inches long.
It is just a proven fact statistically that when the bad guys are "casing" a neighborhood one of things they look for is security cameras.. If your home has one or more security cameras they are liable to pass you by and pick someone else. Isn't that exactly what you want?
When are you getting one?
Chances are if you are reading this that crime has touched your life in some way or you consider yourself at risk. Take the next step and do something to protect yourself! Your life, home security and safety is worth far more than the cost of a security camera.
