Remote security cameras are surveillance camera systems that can be accessed from any location. These cameras allow the user to watch the live video (as monitored by these cameras) from any part of the world. Remote security cameras are especially useful for home owners, who have to stay out of the home for a long time. Home owners can use remote security camera to keep a watch on the babysitter, who is taking care of your kid or to inspect what your kid is doing in your absence.

Remote security cameras store the video in a video file, saves that file on a personal computer or a web server. This file can be accessed from anywhere through the use of Internet. There are many remote security cameras available in the market. Some remote security cameras have pan/tilt/zoom function, which allows the user to control the camera remotely. This feature also allows the camera to cover a large area for video shooting. Some remote security cameras have an email alert feature. This feature alerts the owner through a mail, in case the security camera finds some activity.

A remote surveillance camera allows you to:

• Monitor your home in your absence. This can be very helpful if you have gone out for some vacation.

• Keep a watch on your office or business.

• Let you selectively decide the area you want to monitor.

• Alerts you through email, if it sees some activity at the time when your house is supposed to be empty.

• Monitor stores, super markets, and casinos. Stores, super markets, and casinos can have remote cameras installed. Places where remote cameras are installed, there are people who are employed to remotely monitor the areas covered by the camera. This is mainly done to provide security to these areas.

• Monitor shops for shoplifting, vandalism and burglaries. Business owners may also get benefited by installing a security camera. Many insurance companies give discount on premium rates to the business owners who have security camera installed in their shops.

• Keep a watch on suspicious employees.

Remote security cameras have very easy installation and you can install these cameras on your own. Mostly remote security cameras are either wireless or plug-and-play. Most of the remote security cameras have the ability to rotate to certain number of degrees. Rotation feature allows the owner to cover the large area of the room. Apart from rotation, the other option can be installation of multiple cameras at several places, where there are more chances of crime to occur.

Remote security cameras should be placed strategically. The best locations to place a remote security camera are over the front and the back door, near the valuables, over the garage, on trees or poles. Different people have different opinion. Some people feel placing a security camera on a visible location may prevent others from doing anything wrong. And some people feel hiding a camera is a better option so that you can catch the criminal on the spot. Maintenance of camera is important for the better performance. So position a camera at a place which is reachable.

Installing a remote security camera can be an extremely good option, if you travel a lot and difficult for you to be available all the time.

A security camera system helps in increasing the safety in home or office. Security camera system allows you to keep a watch on a place, when you can not be present there. Some security camera systems allow you to access the captured video from a remote location. Security camera systems are mainly used for identification of criminals, and providing safety to home and workplace. A security camera system also works as a deterrent device as many people become conscious after seeing a security camera system.

Now a days, most of the security camera systems are digital. Digital cameras can be incorporated in any computer network. Usually a digital security camera system sends the captured video to the personal computer or a web server. However, now day’s security camera systems with their own server space are also available. Digital security camera systems provide high quality images.

These security camera systems can be used for indoor as well as outdoor applications. Different camera systems are available in the market. Which camera system will suit your need, depends on the type of application for which you are going to use it. For example, a security camera which is to be used for outdoor applications should be sturdy and weather resistant. The different security camera systems are:

• Fixed Security Camera – Fixed security cameras are fixed at one place. Fixed security camera lenses can be changed whenever required. The camera lens is required to be changed for different purposes like wide angle viewing, an up-close-and-personal shot, etc. Fixed Security cameras are less expensive because of immobility.

• Bullet Security Camera – These cameras can be used for both indoor and outdoor applications. Bullet security camera is very sturdy and provides clear vision. These security camera systems have very easy installation.

• Dome Security Cameras – Dome security cameras are covered with a dome unit made up of polymer. This tough unit protects the camera from any damage. Using a dome security camera lowers the cost of maintenance. Dome security camera is mainly used in vandalism prone areas. Due to outer covering, the other person does not come to know about the camera focusing hence this camera provide better safety.

• Infrared Security cameras – Infrared security camera systems are really helpful in capturing the video in complete darkness.

• Pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) security cameras – These cameras can be housed inside a dome. These cameras are little expensive because they provide additional features like rotation, zooming etc.

• Other types of security camera systems include Day/ Night camera systems, wireless camera systems, network security cameras etc.

Location of these cameras plays an important role in providing security. Security systems with high resolution should be placed at the main entrance. Wide angle color security cameras should be placed in rooms for better video.

Before buying a security camera system you should know what you are looking for. There are so many security camera systems available in the market that it may confuse you. Be very clear what you want from your security camera. It is also important to check from the vendor about the installation of camera and warranty.

Security Camera DVR: Finding The Type That Suits You

By Brian on Saturday, October 22nd, 2011 | No Comments

By Nahshon Roberts

Not all security camera Digital Video Recorders, or DVRs, are created equal. Remember this as you look for security camera DVRs for your business. There are great DVRs, good DVRs, and DVRs so terrible you cannot tell what you’re looking at.

DVR stands for Digital Video Recorder. It is faster and easier to manage than non-digital and analog systems. Moreover, it provides instant access to recorded or live video. You need not worry about storage, too, because the bulk of video that can be stored on a single disc tremendously outweighs that stored on tape. In fact, a single disc is the equivalent of over 30 VCR tapes. What this means is that you get to economize on space use and costs. The bigger your office space and thus, the more cameras you use, the more you will be able to appreciate the money DVRs can save you.

There are two main types of security camera DVRs, pc-based and stand-alone.

PC-based Security Camera DVR with Video Capture Board

A PC-based DVR is a digital video recorder built like a computer. It may consist of two things: a tower mount or a rack mount. Inside it, you will find a mother board, network card, video card, CPU, hard drive, and memory. The DVR video card and the DVR software give users remote access. The DVR capture board receives video directly from security cameras. The DVR software, in turn, works in conjunction with the DVR board to first, change captured video images into a manageable and recognizable format and second, to provide camera controls, as well as record and playback functions.

Stand-alone Security Camera DVR

A stand-alone security camera DVR is an all-in-one unit. All components of a stand-alone security camera DVR are built on one complete circuit board. Its appearance is very similar to that of a VCR or DVD player. Stand-alone security camera DVRs are highly reliable and are very easy to use and install.

The Difference

A stand-alone security camera DVR is very reliable and user-friendly, mostly because it is built on only one circuit board. One need not worry about system crashes or software conflicts because all the hardware and software are embedded on one board. A PC-based security camera DVR, on the other hand, offer more advances features and are better suited for upgrades and systems expansions. They have bigger CPUs and memory, and you can easily add burners and hard drives.

Stand-alone Versus PC-based

Most heavy and large-scale users, such as banks and airports, opt for PC-based models. Just because they do, however, doesn’t mean you should join in the bandwagon and purchase the same for your office or factory. In truth, you should base your choice of security camera DVR on your surveillance needs. If your company’s camera network is comparatively small and does not require much use of sophisticated controls, then a stand-alone security camera DVR should suffice. If, on the other hand, your surveillance needs require the use of sophisticated controls or if you are planning to expand your company’s surveillance system in the future, then the wisest choice would be a PC-based model.

Here’s another way of looking at it. If reliability and stability are what matters most to you, then buy a stand-alone security camera DVR. If advanced viewing, playback and video file saving over the Internet mean more to you, then go for a PC-based security camera DVR.

Ultimately, what would matter the most is not the type of security camera DVR you purchased but how it protects your business.
