Home security systems have come a long way from the basic burglar alarm that makes a lot of noise when someone opens a door they shouldn’t have touched. Today, CCTV systems are cropping up in state of the art home security systems and allowing homeowners to keep an eye on their properties when they’re away from home. There are many options for homeowners who want to protect their homes by taking advantage of the latest advances in CCTV camera technology. Many of them are easy enough for the typical DIY homeowner to set up. If you’re familiar with the various CCTV systems components on the market, you can easily create your own configuration and tailor a security system that’s perfect for your home.
Security cameras are the eyes – and often the ears – of your home CCTV system, and there are literally dozens of styles and options available to choose from. They include wireless and wired cameras, security cameras designed to be used outside and others with special lenses and lighting to be used for areas that have little natural light. You can choose from black and white CCTV cameras or color ones, choose fixed security cameras or those that swivel, rotate, pan, tilt and zoom so that you can focus in on important happenings while you’re surveying your property.
When choosing the right security cameras for your CCTV system, keep in mind that they must work with the software that runs your DVR or that is running on your PC. You should also be aware of the number of frames per second (FPS) they can capture and the resolutions at which they can film. Those factors will determine how much detail your security cameras capture.
DVR or PC
In addition to your security cameras, you’ll also have to choose the medium by which you’ll display what your cameras are watching. You can choose to display live footage, record surveillance footage for later viewing or do both. Your CCTV security cameras can record directly to a DVR or record to software running on your PC. If you choose an IP-based CCTV system, you can broadcast the images being recorded by your cameras over that address and log into it from any web-based browser to view what’s going on at home.
Choosing CCTV cameras, a monitor and DVR for your home security system is the first step to protecting your home. A good CCTV system allows you to monitor what’s happening when you can’t be there so that you can respond appropriately in case of an emergency or a break-in.
