If your home has valuables you wish to see protected or if you think there is any risk--valuables or not--you should invest in home security cameras. They can provide surprising comfort to any home owner by giving a little back-up. It is like having a flash drive for your house. These cameras are primarily used in investigations if a home is burglarized, but they can be used for other problems, too.
If your house is under camera surveillance, do not hide the fact. Tell everyone you know--but do not tell them where the cameras are. And by putting signs in your window, you may stop a crime from happening. Many burglars will turn away from your house and focus on a target that provides less risk to themselves. You may be able to put some people behind bars too, people who would have gone into other houses and never been caught if it were not for you.
Security cameras have become extremely advanced in the last few years. Because the Internet is available for most phones, you will be able to see into your house at all times. If something triggers your motion sensors, you will be alerted via your phone, be connected to a secure site online that will show real-time footage from the inside of your house.
It makes people feel better, too, if they are able to keep an eye on loved ones at home. If you must leave someone sick at home, you can check in on them and make sure they are not any worse. You will have a great head start if your house catches on fire and can alert the fire department all the quicker. There are tons of other bits of damage that could befall a house that you would not have to worry about.
Privacy is one of the main reasons why some have kept themselves from getting security. As long as everyone in your house knows about it and as long as the cameras are turned off when they do not need to be on, there is no reason to fret over security. Whoever you hire to install your cameras should be certified and should know where best to place them so your own privacy is protected while also protecting your house's vulnerable sides.
There is much equipment you can get--some very high tech and expensive, others not so. Some of the standard home security equipment involves bullet cameras. Bullet cameras are cameras encased in a tube of aluminum. Though much bigger than bullets, they sort of resemble them. These are discrete, often put in the eaves of houses to watch the driveway and yard. They can also be call lipstick cameras. They are very good for small areas where people would not see them. They are a good general surveillance camera, but cannot do a whole lot of fancy stuff because of their limited size.
Infrared cameras are another great choice, and they will be able to see even in complete darkness. Since many burglaries happen at night, this is a of great benefit. Infrared security cameras used today generally provide a full color picture during the day and switch to B/W at night. At night their array of IR illuminators come on to provide light invisible to the human eye but not the B/W camera sensor. The distance the IR light will shine depends on the size and number or illuminators used.
Mini-security cameras are the last subtle piece of equipment. They can be much smaller than bullet cameras and can therefore be far more easily hidden. These are often placed inside instead of out, since they are not weatherproof on their own as are most bullet and infrared cameras. They can be hidden into other objects and therefore not seen as a camera.
