subject: Reasons To Spend A Bit More On High Quality Cctv Kits [print this page] People buy CCTV kits to give them a better chance of securing their home. These surveillance cameras can alert them to potential burglaries or vandalism. If you happen to live in an area where burglary and vandalism problems are particularly rampant, this kind of system will definitely be a boon to your existence.
However, a lot of people settle for low quality surveillance systems thinking that it is adequate enough in providing them the security that they need. The thing about security and peace of mind is that it is priceless. I do not know about you, but I personally reckon that investing more in a high quality surveillance camera with better resolution and better CMOS functions is far better than spending a small amount on a low quality option that offers blurry images and lacklustre surveillance functions. You get what you pay for, after all.
Here are more reasons why you need to invest in high quality surveillance CCTV kits with a matching DVR...
1. High quality CCTV Cameras tend to have more features that you can use to increase security.
These are features you normally cannot find in a simple or very basic surveillance system. Companies offering high quality surveillance systems have a variety of options to give you. You can choose from their starter CCTV kits for beginners or technophobes, or for the more experienced security system installer there will be a range of external cameras, IP cameras, covert cameras, wireless CCTV cameras and PTZ cameras to choose from.
The PTZ cameras come handy when you are securing a large area such as your back garden, your garage or your front lawn. PTZ stands for Pan, Tilt and Zoom. You can control the camera to carry out these functions. You therefore only need one camera to provide secure coverage for bigger areas of the house.
Top notch features such as Progressive Scan CMOS can also be found in high quality cameras with DVR systems. The great thing about this feature is that it allows the camera to capture and record clear images even in low lighting conditions or when the object is moving fast. It works to capture images of vehicles too so you can still determine the number plate of the car. The DVR can come handy during police investigations of accidents around the area.
2. High quality CCTV cameras are more durable.
These are called high quality for a reason. They have been equipped with materials that have undergone tests and trails. These materials are used because they can withstand common wear and tear, rusting, extreme weather conditions and vandalism. They have been proofed so potential vandals will not smash the camera into pieces.
3. High quality CCTV systems are made by companies that have been around for quite some time now and will still be around in the next couple of years.
Brand is indeed impotent when you are searching for surveillance system. It is important that you look for a product made by a company that can back your purchase up even after a few years. A reliable company that trusts their products can give you a warranty. Also, the retailers distributing them should offer a return and exchange policy. You can take the product home and test it and if you find any defects, you can still have it replaced.
If you have questions with the installation, you can also call the customer service support of the company to have your queries answered. Cheap cameras from unknown brands are unlikely to come with this level of customer service.
4. High quality cameras can save you money in the future.
These cameras might be a tad more expensive than the basic cameras or imitation cameras but can potentially save you hundreds or even thousands of pounds by preventing burglars, or catching them. They also last for a long time so you do not have to worry about replacing your cameras. Plus, they are generally compatible with other models so you need only to expand your current CCTV system and add more cameras instead of replacing everything with newer ones.
5. High quality cameras tend to come from high quality retailers.
Unfortunately, many companies offering low quality CCTV systems really do not care much about the product they are giving. In comparison, companies distributing or retailing high quality CCTV surveillance systems are more likely to offer quick or even free delivery services.
These are some of the reasons why buying CCTV kits is a better, sounder option. You should get yourself a DVR to record the surveillance videos. Reliable CCTV cameras may be initially more expensive but they are definitely worth the investment.
