Home and Business Security Cameras

Home Security Cameras / Video Surveillance Systems

In the past, video surveillance has been quite expensive and not always that effective. In the last decade or so, prices have come down while dependability has increased, and many homeowners are choosing to include video surveillance in their home security systems. This is because video surveillance systems (VSS) are good for catching intruders “in the act.”

The Two Types of Video Surveillance Systems
Covert
— Covert systems are when the cameras are hidden. These kind of surveillance systems may be used to watch housekeepers, nannies/babysitters, or anyone on your property you may want to watch to ensure they’re not doing something they shouldn’t be.

Overt — Overt systems are when the cameras are obvious. These kind of video surveillance systems are meant to be as much of a deterrent as a method of catching thieves. A thief will think twice about visiting a house with outdoor cameras and numerous signs around the premises advertising your video surveillance system.

A security camera system is a major purchase for a small and large business.

 

Don’t worry about missing a thing while you’re away…

Sure, there’s the cost. But in addition to the initial cash outlay and monthly monitoring expenses, you have the value of your merchandise and capital assets riding on the success (or failure) your security system. No matter how you look at it, there is a lot at stake in your decision.

The process of buying a business security camera system is not always simple and straightforward. There are some nuances you should be aware of before you hardwire your business with motion detectors and magnetic alarm contacts. Follow these steps for buying security systems and you can’t go wrong:

·         Find a Provider. The first step toward installing a business security system is to make contact with a professional CCTV service provider.

·         Create a Budget. Business security camera systems run the gamut from the very expensive to the fairly affordable. Rather than designing a high-end security system that you ultimately won’t be able to afford, establish budgetary parameters early in the selection process.

·         Assess Your Current Security Measures. Although you may not have an electronic security system yet, you are already doing a lot of things to secure your property. Even something as simple as your locking up procedure should be discussed with your security system provider and integrated into your security plan on a go-forward basis.

·         Get a Security System Consult. Carefully discuss your security goals with your system provider. You might not have to install a costly, top of the line security system in order to beef up security around your office or money handling areas. Instead of installing more system than you need, use your cash to upgrade individual security system components.

·         Consider Future Expansion & Extras. If you plan to add on to your security system in the near future, it might be more efficient to bite the bullet and do it now. If not, at least make sure your security camera system provider has designed a system that is capable of future expansion. Extras like a CCTV service plan or video monitoring are also nice features to include in your initial security system installation, if finances allow.
