Security Cameras For Securing Your Home

By Refugio Lambert


Each of us have our own reasons in installing security cameras in our homes. But perhaps the most popular reason is to have you home protected from potential burglary and aid investigators should the crime occur. Besides catching and preventing thieves, it is also very useful in recording and monitoring other persons as well. In the early days, security cameras are only seen on commercial places such as banks and warehouses. But as the price of security cameras become more affordable, ordinary people can now buy and install it on their homes.

Cameras can be classified into several categories. Based on their functionality they can be classified into Bullet, dome, c-mount, and infrared cameras. Each one of these cameras varies in their application and functionality. One should be choosing them according to their requirements. While choosing a camera, one has to take into consideration about factors like where you use the surveillance camera for instance inside the building or outside, throughout the night, day time, or round the clock etc.

Typically purchased security camera device is the bullet styled ones. This is supplied with all of the important accessories needed for round the clock surveillance. They support pre-installed wall mount and weather shield units. This enables easy set up of the unit in homes. Most security cameras are having a limited focus 4 mm lens. This gives the widest position of 70 degree perspective without muffling the image. Cameras can be purchased in color and back/white formats. Higher resolution color images provides you with a much better perspective and picture.

You might also want to consider infrared cameras that can capture pictures in the dark, especially outside of your house. It has a sensor that is sensitive to infrared light. This provides a clear view of the things at a distance of about 25 meters. This distance could be even more increased if there's a little light accessible. Infrared cameras is most effective in indoor conditions. For outdoor use we will need to set up a day and night security camera with a high delicate sensor capable of catching light in lower lighted conditions.

C-mount security camera are those security cameras which provide the option for zooming in to the frame. This will be having changeable lens system and vari focal lenses enabling us to adjust the focal length. Dome security camera are some of the most durable security camera available for us to install inside our homes. Perhaps one technique that smart homeowners do is install dummy cameras that scares burglars just the same.
