subject: Big Brother Is Watching Acquires A New Meaning [print this page] Technology has enabled people to keep an eye on others indoors and outdoors. You can use an indoor IR dome camera or a high speed dome camera depending on your specific requirements. Most people will automatically think of CCTV when considering security issues but it is not the only protection you can add to your property. The dome cameras have the advantage of being concealed in the ceiling, so that most people wont even realize that they are under surveillance particularly useful in hotel lobbies and airports. They come in compact design for a discreet appearance and can be rotated and tilted manually. The outdoor dome cameras are vandal resistant and you can get one that works great in daytime or nighttime for the ultimate picture quality.
The surveillance cameras enable people to monitor, detect and identify intruders, as long as it is within the cameras reach, through live and recorded videos. One of the benefits is that if you use the right camera it can be accessed remotely meaning that you can keep an eye on your property at all times. These cameras are accessed using the internet as they are connected to an IP so no matter where you are as long as you have an internet connection you can keep an eye on your property. The advantage of any camera which operates on infrared technology whether it is an infrared snake camera or an indoor dome camera is that it can operate in poor light conditions.
It can be used for high alert security areas where surveillance is needed throughout day and night. In the daytime the camera functions like a normal camera with standard colors and at night it switches to low-lux black and white mode. When visibility decreases due to no-light at night, infrared LEDs are automatically illuminated providing full recording capabilities. The outdoor PTZ camera offers the ability to view and zoom in all directions and is weatherproof. You can even set it to automatically rotate to different fields of vision. They include standard color, day/night modes, and a few IR PTZ cameras have been introduced recently. The CCTV operator can set the PTZ cameras to automatically rotate to different fields of vision.
The traditional network video recorders have their own advantage. If you want people to be aware that they are being monitored, get these cameras and mount them in the corners of your business or mount them outside the entrance to your home. These traditional looking cameras will provide video in high resolution black and white and should be mounted as close possible to the field of view required. The closer the camera is to the subject the better the identification of the subject will be. This means that wherever you go, you know that Big Brother is watching!
