Feel Safer With Wireless Security Cameras
November 7, 2009 | Leave a Comment
Crime is not just in the movies and on television. Crime is real and it happens every day, all over the world. In fact, in 2008, there were 1,382,012 violent crimes, 441,855 robberies, and 2,222,196 burglaries in the United States alone.
Security is very important. No longer can locked doors or fences guarantee that nothing will happen inside our homes or workplaces. In addition, when a suspect is caught, a simple testimony may not be enough to put that person in jail. Today, it is imperative that one has proof that he or she is the person who committed the crime. This is where security cameras become vital.
There are many kinds of security cameras including spy cameras, CCTV (closed-circuit television) cameras, and wireless cameras. Spy cameras have been used mainly to observe people without them realizing that they are being watched. Spy cameras can be as small as one’s thumb and can be disguised as anything: a teddy bear, a pen, and even a wall clock. In contrast, CCTV cameras are quite easy to spot. These cameras can often be seen as we enter shops and banks. CCTV camera security systems use television cameras to capture video and transmit the images to specific monitors or TV screens.
During the early years of the security cameras, wires are installed to transfer data to monitors. Business and home owners would need to put holes for the wires to go thru. The security cameras would be affixed in places where people have knowledge of where exactly they were installed.
Wireless cameras are, nowadays, so advanced that many can capture high quality images and sound — up to 40 feet away indoors! Captured data is secure that other people will not be able to access the information. Furthermore, there are many types that can cater to various needs:
A few are very small and can be used as spy cameras;
Some wireless cameras use batteries
Plug in wireless security cameras are also available
Several have infra-red motion detectors and some of these can send alerts via email or SMS;
Some models alerts that can be sent via email or text message to a cell phone to notify you of activity.
Wireless security camera systems can be purchased from many online stores. They can cost from $73.95 (for the Mini Pinhole Camera System) to $599.95 (for the Global Watchman Outdoor Cellular Surveillance System which are motion activated and can get photos, captured during the day or night, sent anywhere in the world even without an internet connection).
