Your home is your castle and needs protection from the ever increasing number of criminals who want to deprive you of your treasured possessions. Discover one way to stop them!
Do not use indoor surveillance cameras for outdoor surveillance. Outdoor surveillance cameras have been built to withstand the weather, so you will have trouble free surveillance. Indoor cameras used outdoors will not last very long, and may give you questionable quality pictures too.
It might be that you want general coverage of your front garden. Do you want to catch criminals in the act or maybe just use it as a deterrent. If that is the case, then one camera might be enough. To accurately gauge how many cameras you need though, you need to carefully assess how much coverage you need, and that might need a trained and professional eye.
Surveillance camera system kits are usually packaged in sets of four cameras. If you own a relatively large house, then you would probably choose to cover the main access points, or perhaps where vehicles are located. However, bear in mind that most outdoor surveillance cameras have very wide angled lenses as each can cover quite a bit of ground.
As with most things in life, you can pay more and get more. Some of the most sophisticated surveillance cameras are heat sensitive. These allow the cameras to be heated or cooled to control condensation, to ensure near perfect visibility and recording in all weather conditions. It is essential that the camera you buy can work in the dark too, which should be a standard feature for an outdoor surveillance camera, but it is best to check.
If you buy a system kit then you should receive everything that you need. Try and ensure that the cameras you buy are not restricted to battery power, because these will only have a few hours of life. These are great if you need portable capability, but for normal home use, you need mains power.
Historically, most outdoor surveillance cameras recorded to VCR tape. These were the norm at the time, but were obviously restrictive to recording space. These days, you can record to DVD or to a computer, so you can capture pretty much everything overnight. Really clever units only record when they detect motion, so a DVD can last for a very long time.
One of the great advantages of using computers to monitor your outdoor surveillance cameras, is that the software can enable you to monitor your property whilst you are away. Despite the undoubted usefulness of this, be prepared to have your holidays interrupted whilst you study the film!
