Maybe you remember the video that made a big splash several months back of an actual home burglary caught in progress in Boynton Beach Florida. The home owner was upstairs working in her home office. Downstairs she had a hidden camera hooked up to the internet so she could watch from anywhere in the world.
As she was silently working away, on her computer monitor images of her dogs becoming restless and pacing the living room appeared. Then the curtains to her sliding glass door began moving and lo and behold the bad guys appear. So much for guard dogs!
She immediately called 911 for a burglary in process and got a fast response. The police actually got the guys as they were leaving the property with the stolen goods in hand.
That scene is replicated time and again all over the country by folks who are catching on and using surveillance cameras. Once a luxury used by government and the wealthy, surveillance cameras are now almost a necessity to protect your home or business.
First and most important, a well placed home surveillance camera can send an awesome signal to a savvy burglar. And don’t fool yourself-burglars are smart. Why would they knowingly plan on robbing a home with a surveillance camera and risk getting caught when down the street there is a home without one?
If they are unfortunate enough to not see the surveillance camera and burglarize the property they will get caught. You’ve seen it yourself on the evening news-the masked burglar doing his thing at a bank, liquor store or convenience store-they always get caught don’t they?
How They Work:
Unlike analog cameras, IP cameras can plug directly into your computer or DVR. They use an IP address to transmit video through a network using Ethernet/CAT5 cable. Because IP cameras can connect to any computer, DVR or existing network little to no additional hardware is required, reducing your system cost.
Because IP cameras can connect into a network you can login remotely and view or playback video. You can also set-up email to notify you of motion.
This gives you amazing capability and flexibility to view the recorder area from anywhere in the world via the internet. Want to watch your business at night from your home? Want to watch your kids during the day from work? Want to see what is going on at your vacation home in Hawaii from your main residence in Cleveland? This is how you can do it.
When you can’t be at your home or business 24/7 but still need to see what is going on thi sis how to do it.
