Adding some extra eyes to watch over your property and environment, will greatly reduce the activities of miscreants and hoodlums, the video surveillance system can act as your second eye. The kind surveillance you will require will depend on the area and the level of security that is needed. The video surveillance system previously recorded video using analog signal, but due to innovations in technology it now uses digital signals to record activities. It works the way a computer works by storing data on the hard drive, and this allows large amount of data or video to be stored on a small disk with a much higher video quality. The video surveillance system can be installed to record sound if necessary, while the more advanced ones can record color in higher quality.
The choice of the video surveillance to choose should be determined by what you intend to achieve. Is it meant to monitor a particular activity that you’re trying to uncover or for general security of your property and valuable assets? This is the way you can determine the type of cameras that will be required and the complexity of the system. Another factor that should be taken into consideration is whether you want the video surveillance cameras to visible to the public or not. In some properties the cameras are clearly visible to the public so as to deter anyone planning to carry out any negative activity at their property. While others will prefer that the cameras hidden and align with the background and design of the building just to maintain a low profile so as not to draw attention.
Pinhole cameras also referred to as nanny cams because they are small and discreet; they can be hidden in small objects around the place, they are mostly used to monitor specific activities that seem suspicious, in order to have genuine evidence to present before police, so that the suspect is found and arrested. The nanny cams could be a wired or wireless connection to the recording device. It is more sensible to use a wireless connection along with a pinhole camera (nanny cam) with the recording device because it is much easier to install and also allows for easy movement in the event of relocation, when it becomes necessary.
If your intention is for general security purposes, a network of security cameras placed strategically at different location is what you need to watch over the whole property. Another type of video surveillance system that has become popular is the IP video surveillance system because it allows you to watch in real-time the activities that are happening in your home even when you are not there, you can find out about the events going on in your house, once you have access to the remote server wherever there is an internet connection.
