Are All Home Security Cameras the Same?

 

There are many types of security cameras, wireless and wired, shape, cost etc but no two are the same. Some are big and very obvious; others are tiny and may fit into a pen. Definitely, all home security cameras are not the same. But they all have one function- to capture images and video. The latest technology has endowed most home security cameras with great resolution and the images generated are superb.

The wireless cameras can be installed or placed anywhere and remain inconspicuous. The wireless devices are best suited for spying on someone or something. They are not good for long term surveillance; these small portable devices are battery operated and have a short life span because of the battery. Further, these wireless devices function on a signal to transit the image. If the signal is lost, so is the image.

Many of the outdoor security cameras have a weatherproof covering and others also have infrared technology so that can night. Yet others have a combination of motion sensors and color discriminating features. Some cameras sit on fixed ledge; others can be mounted on a mobile platform. All these features have been designed to catch the criminal.

It is best to have a wired camera for your personal home security. These cameras can deter crimes, but they are difficult to set up and need professional help to install. Most wired security cameras are for outdoor use. The installation requires extensive wiring which is then connected to either a computer or a TV. Wired security cameras are varied in their quality and price. Some cost a few hundred and others can cost upward of a few thousand dollars.

Home security cameras should always be chosen based on where you want to install the camera (inside/outside), the distance that you need to monitor, and the light conditions and how much you can afford. Having installed a security camera is just the beginning. One also needs a recording device. The days of time lapsed VCR are gone. Today we have DVRs which provide 24 hour continuous imaging.

It is as complex as buying a computer for buying security cameras and video recording systems. Before you buy a home security camera, surf the internet, talk to people and above all discuss the issues with a professional.
