CCTV Cameras for Your Home and Small Business

There was once a time when closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras were used only by big enterprises and people living in very large houses. Today, the technology used for surveillance cameras and other forms of security systems are so widespread that anyone on any budget can now install CCTV cameras and protect their homes and small businesses.

What CCTV Cameras Can Do For You

There are so many uses for CCTV cameras in your home or business. They not only protect you from dangerous elements outside, they can help you spot threats from the inside as well.

·         A CCTV camera installed in your home can:

o   Prevent incidents of break-ins and theft.

o   Serve as a baby monitor to keep track of your child when you are in another room or even away from home.

o   Serve as a “nanny-cam” to monitor your babysitter’s behavior and make sure that your children are being treated properly.

o   Help identify robbers and intruders in your home.

·         A CCTV camera installed in your place of business can:

o   Prevent break-ins, theft, and acts of vandalism on your property.

o   Monitor and record any altercation between your employees and customers.

o   Help identify thieves and other criminal elements that enter your business.

o   Help law enforcement officers catch known criminals.

Different Types of Home and Small Business CCTV Cameras

 

There are various types of CCTV cameras that are great for use in the home or in your business. Most home and small business surveillance cams are meant for indoor use, and unlike those heavy-duty cameras you see in office buildings and apartment lobbies, home CCTV cameras are portable, compact, and easy to conceal. Choosing the right camera to use for your home or business depends not just on your budget, but on your needs as well. Each camera type and model has its own features that make them worth installing. The more features there are, the more expensive they become, so make sure that you’re getting your money’s worth when you choose a camera. Here are some of the finest, most innovative CCTV models available that’s perfect for home or small business use:

·         IPS-EYE01W – This camera doesn’t require any special installation to get started. All you need to do is plug it in and start recording. The video feed is streamed over the internet through an RJ45 connector or a wireless internet connection. You can access and control the camera from a web browser or from an android device or iPhone. It also supports 2-way audio, so you can hear what’s happening at home and communicate with your family as well.

 

·         IPS-EYE02W – Just like the 01W model, this camera has all the features you need to monitor your home even from another country. With this model, however, you don’t need a separate storage device as it can support TF cards up to 32G. It is also mountable on the wall, so you won’t need to find a space on a shelf or table to mount it on.

·         IPS-EYE03W and IPS-EYE04W – The 03W model is slightly bigger than the two previous CCTV camera models, but it has almost the same specifications as the others. Aside from its size, it’s also bigger in other ways. It captures video at a higher resolution and can send email alerts when the motion detector is activated. The 04W model has all the same specifications and can support P2P.

Using just any old web cam to monitor and protect your home or small business just won’t do it anymore. To really be able to capture, record, and view your footage properly, you need a CCTV camera that has the juice to do the job, and much, much more.
