Types Of Video Surveillance Available Today

By Bella Holly

When it comes to video surveillance equipment, there is a huge variety of types to choose from. Surveillance systems aren't only for businesses-many people are implementing the protection to make their home, storage, and garage more secure. It is still a very popular measure used in businesses large and small to make sure the staff is working safely and properly, as well as for the off-chance of catching a robbery.

Video surveillance systems come in a number of different types. Video surveillance is one of the most common these days. You can have spy cameras, wall mounted cameras or hidden cameras, all of which can be reviewed and remote monitor, preferably a computer.

Although video surveillance is very widely used, wireless video surveillance is quickly becoming more popular. It does not require you to drill holes or string wires around, as the cameras are cordless and upload the footage over a wireless frequency. You can even have the footage uploaded to an encrypted website where you can view it online from anywhere in the world!

Wireless video surveillance is preferable for a number of reasons. One of the most obvious reason, is that you're not going to have to rewire a part of your house. You don't need to worry about tearing out floorboards to put wires under them and instead you can choose to locate the receiver and the camera wherever you want, as long as they are in radio range of each other.

The wonder of technology has enabled cameras of all sizes to be placed anywhere you like. For instance, a popular way to keep an eye on the babysitter is to put a camera inside a teddy bear or other less obvious place. You can even get hidden cameras placed inside a writing pen! Now that's James Bond-ish!
