An article in the magazine I read yesterday revealed that by simply installing wireless home CCTV systems, the risk of a home being burglarized can be cut by a huge ninety five percent. With recent advances in home camera technology driving down the costs, more and more of us are able to afford them.
Simply put, crooks are a lot less likely to attack a property where there is some sort of security device. It just makes sense of course; they are, after all, more likely to be caught.
Quite apart from this however, the visible deterrent of a home CCTV system will have them thinking that other security precautions have been taken; minimizing their chances of success.
There are many choices you can make regards which system would work for you, most particularly whether to go with a wired system or something wireless. Wireless systems are preferred by many; particularly regards the lack of work required to install them. However, each has their pros and cons
It is best to spend some time weighing up your options; working which will be the most cost effective for you, and do the right job.One thing that is always good to invest in however is a digital video recording unit, (or DVR). This tech allows you should save footage to a hard drive so, in the event of any break-ins or attempts, you have the chance to catch the criminals.
It will also be necessary to decide whether to make continuous films, or have stop go technology with motion detectors in your home CCTV systems. This is very much a preferential decision of course, though motion detectors are often the preferred option. You will of course most likely get a fair amount of footage of cats and other local wildlife; but this isn't always a bad thing of course!
