CAUGHT MY DOG ON SURVEILLANCE CAMERA-

Using a hidden surveillance camera, I caught my dog on the couch while we were away. He looked guilty but pleased. I really don't care he was there but my wife doesn't like it.

Thirty years ago security cameras were for government agencies, large corporate businesses, and a few exotic millionaires who could afford them. Today, surveillance equipment is affordable and available to just about anyone who wants it. Over the years, surveillance cameras have become smaller and more affordable and contrary to popular belief, hidden spy cameras, are not exotic luxuries, available to only a privileged few.

People are using them for everything:

• Protecting their home or vacation property
• Checking on their babysitter
• Small businesses are countering theft
• Spying on their spouse or lover
• Checking on their pets

What should you consider when buying a camera for home or business use?1) Where are the best locations to place your security cameras? (2) Do black and white or colour security cameras better fit your needs? (3) Do you want hard-wired or wireless security cameras?

1. All entry points should be monitored by by high resolution security cameras.
2. Inside your house, wide angle color security cameras should be placed in all high traffic areas and rooms in which valuables are located.
3. Proper placement of security cameras allows you to maintain a record of many activities in your home. You will be able to identify a person by the color of the clothes he or she is wearing. You can have a close-up shot of a perpetrators face and possessing a video recording of his/her activities is extremely valuable as evidence in court.



Black and White or Colour Camera?

1. Black and white surveillance cameras can "see" better in lesser light.
2. Colour security cameras give you the ability to obtain a more identifiable image of people and activities taking place in the area.
3. If you have a tight budget, black and white cameras are lower priced but not as detailed as some colour cameras . But they are better than no security cameras at all.

Hardwire or Wireless Surveillance Camera?

Wireless Surveillance cameras:

• Can be quickly installed without a professional.
• You can take them with you when you are on the move.
• They are extremely inconspicious, without wires attracting attention.

Hard-wired security cameras:

• They are ideal for permanent areas that need constant monitoring.
• Or if your current security system is hardwired and wireless security cameras are not compatible.

Ultimately you should decide based on what you feel fits your needs best. Nothing beats the sense of security that one feels with the proper security system installed which contributes to your overall well being and peace of mind.
