Why Install a Video Surveillance System?
Two primary yet potentially complementary reasons exist for installing cameras: security or convenience. You needn't hide
cameras installed primarily for convenience, although you can anyway. If a security camera is visible, it may deter an intruder.
On the other hand, hiding cameras reduces the possibility of tampering or vandalism.
Businesses use this technology everyday to watch over inventory, parking lots and personnel. Homeowners also use video surveillance systems to see what's going on when they're not there. This is especially useful for a second home or a vacation home. With remote monitoring you can see both live and recorded video, as well a have the ability to download video, record video to a DVD-R or CD-R, and even make additional copies if required.
Today's DVRs are capable of storing weeks of video (the actual length of available recording depends of several factors - most importantly are the recording speed and number of cameras being recorded simultaneously).
Strategically located and operational 24/7, video surveillance is the eyes on the scene that you've always wanted when your not there.
Through the use of the internet, you can even look in on your business or home when you're not able to be there. Authorized users can also view live and recorded video at any time from any computer connected to the internet.
Video Surveillance Equipment - buy only what you currently need
If you want to start out with just a few cameras, but have your system ready for future expansion, we can help you determine
where the most vulnerable areas in your business or home are, and place only those cameras that are necessary at the present
time.
You can start out with a little as one camera and add cameras as they become necessary, or as your budget allows.
Digital Video Recorders (DVRs) are available with a wide range of features that will fit any budget in 4, 8, 9 and 16 camera models. Our suggestion is to purchase a DVR that will accomodate the maximum number of cameras you will eventually need, then your DVR will be ready for those additional cameras as you add to the system. Most DVRs are ready for additional hard drives to be added to increase your stored recording time, so you can always increae the storage capacity of your system in the future.
