Camere supraveghere - Surveillance Systems for Home Owners
One of the most popular types of communities in the United States is the gated homeowners assocation community, also known as an HOA. This is where people can live in peace because their entire community is surrounded by a wall, with a gate at the front entrance and also sometimes as rear gated entrance as well. Some have security guards at the front of these communities, while others do not camere de supraveghere ip.
These areas are not perfect and sometimes there is a need for home owner associations to invest in surveillance systems to ensure that everyone is kept safe while they live in their gated community.
Audio surveillance equipment such as surveillance microphones are useful tools to add to your CCTV camera systems, however federal, state, and local laws must be considered before implementing such systems. Microphones allow operators of surveillance systems to not only see what is going on at their home or business, but also allow you to hear what is going on. Having audio surveillance is a big step into making your business safe, productive, and secure. You will be able to hear what is being said and you can ensure that employees are safe.
To accomplish this, home owner associations will implement several measure including security cameras, DVRs and even remote viewing.
The club house of the gated community is where you will find most of the tools and items that are needed to keep the community looking great. These range from riding lawnmowers to simple items like tools. However, because they are a depository of tools and high-cost items, they can often become the victim of theft, even from people in the community.
To prevent this from happening, it is important to have security surveillance systems in place.
Using audio surveillance microphones should be planned carefully and it is very important that you ensure you understand the laws of your state, city and county before installing audio devices. Here are just a few reasons why:
*
If you record a private conversation, you are in danger of being accused of not only eavesdropping on the conversation, but wiretapping as well. This is allowed in some states but only if one of the parties is consenting (think of police wires). In many states though, you can be legally charged with eavesdropping, and that is not something you want when all you did was put a microphone on a camera.
*
You need to be careful of where you do both your audio and video recording because there are some locations that are completely off-limits. These are areas like bathrooms, bedrooms, dressing rooms and more. It can be hard to know where exactly you can and cannot set up audio surveillance and video surveillance. However, if there is a place where people would not want to be filmed, with the bathroom as the best example, then you cannot record them through audio or video surveillance.
*
Some states will allow covert video surveillance but not audio surveillance, so if you have a camera with a built-in microphone, you need to make sure you either have it turned off, or you buy one without it. There are several legal ramifications to this and you are best to simply avoid the audio surveillance in general if your state does not allow it.
Through putting security cameras in clubhouses, you are able to monitor and prevent theft in the community clubhouse. These can either be security cameras that people know about, or security cameras that are hidden. Either way, they accomplish the same task of preventing theft, and ensuring those who are to blame are caught after stealing from the clubhouse. For the relatively low-cost of security cameras, and a surveillance DVR, a home owner association can literally save thousands of dollars on stolen items from their clubhouse. For many, this is a price they are willing to bear in order to give their residents some peace of mind and safety.
As most people know gated communities often have security guards out front to keep those who do not belong in the community, out of the community. However, security guards cost home owner associations a lot of money. Through the cost of having to pay their hourly salary, along with the cost of insurance, benefits and more, it can be unfeasible for many home owner associations to have this. As a result, many are not as safe as they could be. Thankfully, with the use of surveillance systems, home owner associations can get that security, but without the need for high-priced security guards.
This is not to scare you away from using audio surveillance, because as we have stated it is a very good tool in the fight to keep people safe, and keep your business or home secure. There are many ways that you can ensure you are able to avoid the legal ramifications of audio taping your employees. You may inform them to the fact that they are both video recorded and recorded through audio surveillance when they are hired, through a contract they sign.
By setting up security cameras, DVRs and remote viewing capabilities in the surveillance system, home owner associations get a 'virtual security guard'. With the security cameras, those who want to try and sneak into the community will be prevented the ability to do so because of the 'eye in the sky'. As well, through remote viewing, the members of the gated community can keep an eye on the front in their spare time, turning the entire community into a 'remote viewing neighborhood watch'. This is worth its weight in gold because it gets the community together for a common goal and it helps keep everyone safe, without the costs of a security guard.
Most states will not allow any sort of 'covert' audio in public workplaces, public areas or public stores, however there are ways to get around this and that is through signage. When you have a sign up that states not only that the area is under video surveillance but also that audio surveillance is beintg used, then you are alerting people that they are being recorded through audio and if they choose to stay where they are being recorded, then they are agreeing to the fact their voice is being recorded. Many employers are now including audio recording information in employee handbooks, which are all signed and dated, while retail stores will post signs to show customers they are being audio recorded.
