How To Select A Security Camera System For Your Business.
Of all the different applications for security cameras, the most common use is definitely for surveillance of businesses. Your business is the source of your income and security for you and your family. It seems almost outrageous to me that every business does not have security cameras. If you think about the uses and the business that can benefit from surveillance systems, it almost seems like it would be an infinite list. Every business can benefit. Here are just some of the reasons:
- Prevent employee theft.
- Increase employee productivity.
- Prevent customer slip and fall lawsuits.
- Deter theft.
- Spend less time at the office and remotely monitor your business.
- Check in on your business after hours.
- allow a remote security guard to watch over your business.
and the list can go on, and on, and on.
So what do you need to consider when you want to purchase a surveillance system for your business?
First, you need to decide on what you want to accomplish with the system. What is your primary goal? What is the secondary goal? What items do you want to cover?
First, you need to decide on what you want to accomplish with the system. What is your primary goal? What is the secondary goal? What items do you want to cover?
Next, you will need to research the right DVR and security cameras for your application. Will you need infrared security cameras? Will you be using mainly overviews and use fixed lens cameras, or do you need to capture more detail of specific areas or items and need vari-focal security cameras? If you are monitoring a large open area, do you want to consider a PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) camera which can be put on a tour of a large area ?
PTZ : PAN TILT AND ZOOM CAMERAS
Make sure to consider which cameras need to be outdoor rated and which will be used indoors. Indoor cameras are less expensive because they are usually housed in plastic where outdoor cameras are normally housed in metal and are more expensive. also consider the temperatures the cameras will be in. Security cameras can be available with heaters and blowers.
Finally, it is time to consider the DVR. The security DVR will record the video from the cameras and allow you remote access to the cameras using the internet. Typically, DVRs are available in varying quality levels. Be sure to select a digital video recorder that will meet your needs. Consider the amount of storage you need, the bandwidth you have available at your business and whether you need realtime recording. You will also want to consider what resolution you want to record in. Most DVRs will record in CIF (360×240) resolution, some DVRs will record D1 or 4CIF resolution (704×480) or (720×480). The combination of resolution and frame rate is also an important factor to consider. Realtime recording is considered 30fps on each channel. Do you want realtime recording at CIF resolution or do you want real time recording at 4CIF or D1 resolution? Only a handful of DVRs are capable of recording D1 resolution at 30fps on every channel. This is a premium feature that will usually cause extra.

Be sure that whoever you purchase your security camera system from can provide you with the high level of tech support you need. Surveillance systems can be very technical and will often require experienced technicians to get all the settings right.
How To Buy Security Cameras for For The Home?
As security cameras get more popular and less expensive it is getting much more common to find security cameras installed in residences. A surveillance system in the home can provide much more than peace of mind. It can be used as a tool to watch over your children, your pet, the nanny or a contractor.If you have a baby in the home then a security camera would be a huge benefit to you. When selecting your surveillance system there are many things to consider. The DVR will provide you with realtime recording as well as synced audio. With H.264 compression it uses storage efficiently and can stream over the internet while conserving bandwidth.
Typically, for residential applications I would recommend inexpensive overview cameras that have infrared capability. These cameras will provide great overviews during the day and nighttime and they can see in complete darkness. Mount these cameras strategically so that you can monitor the entire radius of your home. The cameras will serve as deterrents as well as provide you with an extra layer of security. If you want to capture details of those entering your home, I recommend installing a security camera close to each entrance of your home and position these cameras to capture the face of the individual coming in. Don’t forget the back door.
Next, If you have small children you may want to consider installing a camera in their rooms. Consider also installing a microphone so that you can use your security camera system as a baby monitor. Make sure these are infrared cameras so that you can check on your little one while they are sleeping. You may also want to consider installing an overview camera to monitor your swimming pool. You never know, these cameras may one day save your child’s life.
To monitor the cameras from inside your home, you have several options. You could run a cable from the DVR to various TVs in your house. This would allow you to monitor your cameras from your TVs. The next option is to use any PC or wireless laptop to connect to your security cameras. These days you can buy netbooks for very little money and they can connect to your DVR wirelessly through the network. Lastly, you can use new Mobile Video Viewer which would allow you to monitor your surveillance system from most smart cell phones and IPAD. any of these options will work great.
How To Watch My Baby With Security Camera?
There are many uses for security cameras. One of the more popular uses is using a security camera to monitor your baby. This is actually very easy to do. There are several ways to accomplish the task of monitoring your bay with video, but the one of the best methods is to use a standard security camera connected to a DVR. This is also a good way to monitor the nanny or care giver of the bay, which is often referred to as a nanny cam.
The best way to do this is to install a standard security camera in the baby’s room. It is preferable to use an infrared camera so that you can see what the baby is doing at night when the lights are off. If all you will be doing is monitoring the baby and nothing else in your house, you are better of just simply mounting the camera in the baby’s room and connect it to a DVR right there. You can then either run a CAT5 back to your router from the DVR, or you can use a wireless access point to connect to the router wirelessly. If you plan on having additional security cameras connected in your home, you may want to have the DVR connected somewhere more central for all the cameras to be able to me connected with less wiring.
Once you have all your security cameras mounted and connected to the DVR and you have the DVR connected to your network and properly configured, you can then use the wireless network to monitor your cameras. From anywhere in your home, you will be able to monitor your surveillance cameras by connecting wirelessly from any PC or Laptop to your DVR using the internal IP address. That means you can use an inexpensive laptop like a netbook (often found for under $300) to monitor your cameras will moving around in your home. You will find this very convenient. Additionally, you can use the DVR to monitor the audio of the baby’s room, thereby eliminating the need for a baby monitor. Now you will be able to hear and see everything that is going on in your baby’s bedroom. Also, you will be able to keep an eye on things while you are gone from home. Any PC, anywhere on the Internet will be able to monitor the baby if they have the correct IP address, user name and password
How To View Security Cameras Remotely?
There are many types of remote security cameras and many ways to view the cameras remotely. There are even security cameras designed for home use that are wireless and can be viewed on a standard television. However, when we speak of most robust, professional security systems that permit remote viewing, we are talking about IP cameras or IP systems. IP, which is a computer technology abbreviation that stands for Internet Protocol, permits a variety of remote viewing options for security cameras.
There are a few methods for making your security camera “remotely viewable,” however; the key ingredient for all of them is the idea of Internet Protocol or networking. Although there are several possible variations for capturing, sending, and storing the camera’s signal the basic process works like this.
An IP security camera system works by converting the camera’s video signal into a digital file that can be transmitted via a networking system. Depending on the type of system, the signal, by way of the local network, can even be sent to the internet making the security camera remotely accessible from anywhere internet is available.
Many cameras connect to a DVR or Digital Video Recorder system. They do this by a physical connection through a cable or by utilizing various wireless technologies (similar to the wireless technology used by wireless computer routers and receivers). Most wireless cameras have a useful maximum range of approximately 300 feet.
Regardless of how the camera’s signal is transmitted, it is normally transmitted to a personal computer, DVR system, IP video server, or directly to the internet. If the camera is an older analog-type CCTV camera, the signal will be transmitted to a “capture card” that will “capture” the analog video and convert it into a binary or digital file form. The purpose of transmitting the camera signal to a personal computer, DVR system, or IP video server is to prepare the digital file for “streaming” so that it can be sent over a Local Area Network (LAN) or the internet. Streaming technology allows for the digital data to be transmitted and viewed in real time, while maintaining small file sizes to prevent overloading the network. Personal computers, DVR systems with specific, dedicated video networking circuits, and IP video servers can each be utilized to do this “file processing” work and transfer the final product to the LAN or internet.
Once the video signal has been prepared by the system and has reached transmission to a LAN or the internet, viewing opportunities are seemingly endless. The camera, video system, or IP video server normally comes with software that prepares the signal and provides software applications for viewing. Based on the file type and application software, the camera can be viewed remotely in a variety of ways.
Some of the easiest remote viewing camera/systems/software allow the user to view the camera using an internet web browser. Some applications may even allow the user to control the camera through the web browser while others may use some sort of proprietary network video recording (NVR) software.
In addition to using personal desktop computers, you can also view your security cameras remotely using just about any personal communication appliance, provided the device supports the format that the security system is using. That means you can view real-time, live images from your camera(s) using a laptop computer, cell phone, or even a PDA. It wouldn’t be surprising to see an application for an iPod if there isn’t one already out there. In fact, some remote systems provide an alert to the user via e-mail if the camera has detected motion and has started recording activity.
Remote viewing expands the possibilities and capabilities of security cameras In various ways. The user can check their cameras at work or while on travel. Constant monitoring systems can be installed and signals transmitted to a remote 24/7 monitoring service that can alert the user of any activity or suspicion. The possibilities are forever becoming endless.
