Video surveillance: your home is safe
Solutions for all budgets, easy to install and manageable from your Smartphone; Today video surveillance systems are increasingly in demand, to keep your home under constant control, even when you are not there.
All you need is a Smartphone connected to the network to be able to view your home remotely at any time: today it is possible thanks to video surveillance cameras systems, which also allow you to store recordings and receive instant notifications in case of movement detection. Find out how to make your home safer with indoor and outdoor video surveillance kits.
Camcorders for indoor or outdoor use
First decide if you need to monitor your home only indoors or if you want video cameras also outdoors. Outdoor systems are weatherproof, must have a high resolution to ensure maximum image sharpness and night vision . These features affect the cost, which starts from a minimum price for a system equipped with 4 cameras; prices go down for systems for internal use
.
For the video surveillance system inside the home, there are no particular rules governing use; if instead the eye of the video camera points to common or public areas it is necessary - among other provisions - to affix the sign "Video surveillance area", in order not to incur heavy penalties.
Wired or wireless cameras?
Are you undecided between a Wi-Fi or wired video surveillance system? Carefully evaluate the pros and cons of both solutions. The advantage of wireless systems is the ease of installation : no wires or electrical conduits to fix, just a good router and a good network that can support the internet signal 24 hours a day to guarantee the full and constant operation of the cameras. They are therefore ideal for video surveillance inside the home, while for the outside it is better to opt for a wired system that guarantees maximum signal without interference. In this case, however, the system must be carried out by a professional installer.
How many cameras to buy?
On the market there are video surveillance kits that include 4 to 8 video cameras based on the space you intend to cover . It is therefore necessary to evaluate the dimensions of the internal or external environments and decide where to place the cameras so that "dark" areas do not remain. The choice of kit to buy must therefore be made on the basis of the coverage range guaranteed by each camera. For example, in a room of 16 square meters, a single video camera positioned in the corner near the window may suffice. For larger rooms, however, it may be necessary to place more than one video camera.
Control and safety with little expense
With a few hundred Dollars you can check your home and detect the presence of intruders, in the event of thefts and break-ins, or more simply monitor the behavior of your children while they rest or play and your pets when you are not there.
