Home surveillance systems, once only for the rich, are becoming more and more affordable. As technology progresses and hidden video surveillance becomes necessary, anyone can enjoy the feeling of security in knowing there is something always keeping an “eye” on things.
Home surveillance systems come in many flavors. There are your standard “overt” systems, meaning the cameras are visible in plain sight (usually one or several CCTV video cameras) , and there are “covert” systems with the home surveillance camera or cameras hidden in plain sight.
Home surveillance system prices range anywhere from $200 to thousands of dollars. Thus, keep your security needs in mind when shopping around for a system.
There are overt and covert systems available that are weatherproof for outdoor surveillance. Examples of an outdoor weatherproof overt system can be seen here. Examples of all-weather covert systems include the HomeSpy, which doubles as a yard or driveway flood light or the SecureShot motion activated bird feeder camera, both of which have an onboard digital video recorder (DVR) and use secure digital (SD) cards as recording media. The SD card can be easily removed and you can view the footage right on your computer using standard video software.
If your needs are geared more towards indoor surveillance, there are many decoy cameras that are functional items – iPod docking station, plant, teddy bear, air purifier, alarm clock, digital picture frame, wall clock, to name a few – with covert surveillance built-in (digital video recording via secure digital (SD) card). Additionally, there are wired systems, as well as wireless (2.4 gHz) surveillance systems, available.
Home and/or Business surveillance and security systems ARE affordable! Do yourself (and your family or business) a favor and install a home or business surveillance system.
