Surveillance Camera Enhances Your Home Security
By G L Harris
It wasn’t all that many years ago that people would
never have considered having a surveillance camera installed
in their home. For the most part, people only thought
of commercial and government applications of using surveillance
cameras, primarily because they were only seen in malls,
casinos, large retail stores and public facilities,
such as airports.
But, technological advancements has made it possible
for businesses of all sizes to be able to install video
surveillance systems and now they are also becoming
more common in home settings as well.
People are motivated to provide secure environments
for their loved ones. A security camera can be a deterrent
to crime, often stopping a criminal from intruding onto
your property or into your home before they have a chance
to commit a crime.

A Home Security Surveillance System
The last thing a culprit wants is to be caught on tape.
If you have posted the fact that you have a home security
surveillance system, then no doubt the offender will
move on to easier targets.
But in case the criminal is not discouraged by the
warnings about your home surveillance camera, or simply
can’t read the warning sign, then at the very least
the cameras will have captured the perpetrator’s image
on video. And, most all of these security cameras are
part of larger burglar alarm systems which will also
sound the alarm.
Give The Evidence To The Authorities To Catch The
Offender
If an intruder is scared off by the burglar alarm,
then you will be able to review the video taken by the
camera so that you know exactly who has been skulking
around your premises. And, of course, you will be able
to share that evidence with the authorities so that
they can track down the offender.
A security surveillance camera that takes in the view
of the street in front of your home can also serve as
a good neighborhood deterrent to crime and mischief
by errant teens who might be bored and looking for what
they think might be harmless fun.
There are many situations that can be avoided if the
kids in the neighborhood simply are aware that their
actions will be caught on tape. It can be a good way
to encourage thinking before acting.
Taping Unauthorized People Lurking Around Your Property
Since most people are away from their homes for a good
portion of the day, a video surveillance camera can
also be very helpful in taping unauthorized people who
are coming to, or lingering near your home or property.
If your surveillance videos show unknown, suspicious
people hanging around your home or neighborhood, then
you can alert your neighbors to be observant and also
let the local police know so they can send a patrol
car through the neighborhood.
Potentially Lifesaving Information
Certainly, no member of any family wants to live under
the feeling of being constantly watched, but the reality
is that there are situations in home setting when a
surveillance camera network can be not only useful but
important. In instances where you might suspect problems
with a caregiver or unwelcomed guests who might drop
by when the parents are not home, these video surveillance
cameras can supply potentially life-saving information.
In addition, most of these systems can be accessed
remotely via the internet, so that the parents can see
exactly what is going on in the home even if they are
far away.

Did You Know?
How can I protect my computer network?
You can protect your computer network by
installing a firewall to help would-be hackers from breaking
into secure networks or to prevent employees visiting certain
websites. Another level of protection is software to help
deter hackers such as security software such as a Norton product.
What is the difference between audio and video surveillance?
The difference between audio surveillance and video
surveillance is how they catch would be perpetrators in the act. Most
times they work together but in the case of audio it may be used to
monitor phone conversations and employees when they are at work.
Video surveillance works with just a picture and no sound, audio
is the reverse.
