Security Camera for your Business

Let’s review various types of security cameras available in the market and how to choose the right security camera for your home or business.

Before you begin looking at security cameras and video surveillance systems, you will need to decide what you’re trying to monitor. Identify the areas that you need to monitor. If it is only for one or a few small rooms indoor, you will need an entirely different camera system than if you need to monitor larger outdoor spaces. The first question you need to answer is how large is the space you need to cover? Larger spaces might need is zoomable mobile cameras with HD capability. Second is the camera need to be hidden or not.  If you’re catching a known thief in the act you don’t want your cameras to be obvious.

On the other hand, if you’re using a camera system as a theft deterrent for your business, then these cameras work best when they are visible.

Question number 3 is how many cameras will you need? if you’re monitoring a large area, then you might benefit from drawing up a blueprint as well as highlighting camera views to monitor several areas at a time, you may need a full security camera system rather than just a single camera. Security cameras have a big range of basic features; whether the camera has local tapes, a wireless connection or wide connection to computer, it will need to store video in some fashion so this is a feature that needs to be considered.

Also cheaper security cameras may only have black and white video while colour video and high definition come at a premium.

Another thing to keep in mind is that outdoor security cameras need to be weatherproof while dome cameras have more anti-vandalism protection. The more advanced the features in your camera, the more expensive it will be.

You can easily spend a lot of money on a security system that can watch both indoor and outdoor locations of a large warehouse or business in all weather and light conditions. The important thing is determining which are the features you don’t need. Basic cameras are fixed in position and some midrange cameras can pan automatically whereas PTZ cameras can pan, tilt and zoom for much better coverage.

Another thing to consider is that most cameras will take simple video in daylight but you can optionally pay for nightvision.

You may also want to consider web access and motion detection capabilities. For more information about specific security cameras installation from each category and visit us online at www.cablify.ca
