Protecting you home or business is just as much about peace of mind as it is about preventing loss. Today’s technology makes installing and monitoring cameras for your home or office of snap. However certain cameras work best for specific applications, while others types of cameras can multitask various different functions.
Here is a brief overview of how the different cameras at Stungunmikes.com work.
1) Surveillance Systems
These systems usually come with 4 – 16 cameras, a digital video recorder (DVR), and sometimes a viewing screen. You can have up to 4 wireless cameras per system (1 for each channel).
A surveillance system is a valuable part of your complete security plan for both home and businesses, and they work best to secure places where you need to monitor multiple areas at the same time
2) Hidden Cameras
Hidden Cameras are great for finding out what happens when you are not around. It may be a way to improve you employees safety and customer service, catch an unknown thief or criminal or to monitor the care of your children while you’re away.
3) Wireless Camera
Sometimes wireless cameras can be an all in one recording devices like the Sleuthgear HVRs, or minicams with a micro SD card slot. However, in most cases when we talk about wireless cameras we are talking about a camera that sends a video transmission to a recording device without the need to be plugged in or “wired”
These devices can be analog like the ones seen in our wireless cameras section, or they can be digital like the Sleuthgear digital cameras line. The analog wireless cameras send their signal to a 2.4 Ghz receiver which then plugs into a recording device of your choice The Sleughgear digital line sends the data encrypted to either and RCA, USB, or I.P. Receiver that then displays the video on a television, computer, or internet feed.
4) Spy Cams
Spy cameras are cameras that are hidden in everyday devices like pens, sunglasses, watches, neck ties, and pretty much anything you can wear or carry. They can be used for covert operations from catching a thief to prosecuting an abuser or bully. As well, many people find them useful for their own personal recordings, and even contract verification purposes when making a large purchase.
Although now that they are so affordable, spy gadgets are becoming used more often for smaller operations like finding out who stole who’s lunch from the office fridge.
Security Cameras can be broken down into even more categories like, infra red, black and white, color, domes, and more. The most important thing to remember is to buy the right camera for the right purpose. Don’t buy a 16 camera security system if you are just trying to catch the thief who is stealing your morning newspaper, but don’t expect to protect your entire business with just a spy pen either.
Get the right camera for the right job and your investment will pay for itself.
