Enhance Home Security with CCTV

A wireless CCTVsystem can be installed in minutes. You then have the surveillance of your property at your fingertips. More and more people are choosing to install CCTV cameras on their residential properties as these have been proven time and again to deter crime.

A standard wireless camera can be fitted near your front door and give you a view of 45 to 60 degrees. This is enough to capture video of whoever is approaching your property from the front of the house. For 24/7 coverage, the camera need to be hooked up to a direct power supply. If you prefer, you can power the cameras with lithium batteries, but this would compromise on the level of coverage. The camera will transmit a signal to a receiver inside the house.

Depending on the system you have bought, the picture can be in color or black and white. As long as the camera is about 100 meters from the receiver, you will get pretty good picture quality. The advantage of wireless technology is that the signal will even be transmitted through walls, although this may slightly reduce the quality of the image.

At night, the LED lights in the camera are activated. So the cameras are then equipped with night vision. An average camera with night vision will allow you to see in total darkness for a distance of up to 15 meters.

No matter how many cameras you have, you can see the feed from them all on your monitor in split screen view. You can also focus on just one camera if you wish.

Thieves and intruders will first check out your property for any signs of security before trying anything. So just the sight of the CCTV cameras can be enough to scare them away. A CCTV system lets you put a lot of home security tips into play. Get one today to protect the things that you value most.
