In today's heightened risk home security climate, it's important for you to equip your home with the best security cameras. Installing home security cameras can protect your property and family from burglars and vandals, but what about the price? Unlike in the past, with modern advancements in technology, you can find affordable CCTV cameras you can use at home.
Before buying a security camera, you have to evaluate your security needs. You can choose between a wired or wireless security system. Some cameras allow you to see crowds, merchandise, or even offer high-definition for ID-ing suspects. For outdoor and indoor monitoring, unique CCTV cameras are also available.
Let's talk about choosing the best positioning, brand, and type of security camera for your family home.
The Positioning of Home Security Cameras
Obviously, you want to select the best locations for your cameras. A camera facing the ground does you no good unless you are shoe shopping, right?
Camera positioning is vital for adequate surveillance.
Nowadays, you can use camera placement apps to adjust your cameras to the perfect position. But remember first, you have to install home security cameras at the backdoor, front door, off-street windows, and all other high-traffic areas and entry points.
Security Camera Types
Wired security cameras can be the right choice for outdoor and indoor surveillance depending on your setup. Some even have night vision. With these cameras, you will get black and white images during the night, but with plenty of image detail and contrast.
Wireless home security cameras are a great way to build a comprehensive surveillance system for cheap. The latest wireless cameras offer maximum security without any interference — crystal clear audio and video!
Internet protocol (IP) or network security cameras can also work. Just make sure you have reliable internet service to connect the cameras to a computer’s router. These cameras can be accessed over the internet from almost any location!
Nest Wireless Home Security Cameras
The Nest security system is a popular way to keep your house safe from intruders. You can get cameras, an alarm system, video doorbells, and connected locks.
It is easy to combine the Nest alarm system with its vast variety of other products. They have things like Nest Guard, Nest tags, and sensors.
I really love the video doorbell. If your alarm system is being wonky, you can keep an eye at the front door easily!
Ring Wireless Outdoor Security Cameras
With the Ring doorbell security camera, you can keep an eye on your front door whenever you want. These cameras detect any motion near your front door. If it detects any, it will notify you via your tablet, PC, or phone. You can then speak, see, and hear your visitors in real-time from wherever you are.
Ring doorbell security cameras come in various olor combinations and power options. It is compatible with Mac, Android, iOS, and Alexa devices.
Lots of variables.. it depends on the size of your house, but going wireless is ok, as long as you have preventions of getting your network hacked. I have a wired closed circuit for mine as it covers a larger area.
That does make sense! Having security for your network is a must that a lot of people might not think about.
I am really interested in getting a Nest system. We get a lot of packages delivered to my door and I am always concerned of them being stolen if I am not home. I love all the technology associated with keeping my home safe. After getting my house broken into several years ago, the security of my home and family has always been a top priority.
I heard a lot of great things about Nest. We have one of their smart door locks. I think later this summer we will be doing a whole house system with simpli safe.
