Along with the current struggling economy, crime has steadily increased over the last few years.
This is for obvious reasons, since more and more people are caught up in a financial struggle some of them will inevitably resort to committing crimes.
The most common in tough times as burglaries.
Although security personnel are on hand to guard businesses and commercial areas, homes have a far less visual barrier between them and criminals looking to steal people's belongings.
One of the best ways to deter home theft is through the use of a security camera system.
These systems come with a very wide range of options, technologies, and prices.
Probably the most flexible among these camera systems are the wireless variety since they do not require cabling, drilling, etc.
They can be hidden, although a better option would to make it obvious your home is protected.
That way if a criminal is scouting out your home as a target, they will notice the security system and be much less likely to invade.
Internet-based systems allow you to monitor the cameras from remote locations.
The signal is then transferred through a local area network (LAN) adapter and then to an IP address.
As a result, you can monitor your home from anywhere in the world with an Internet connection.
Some systems even offer e-mail alert's if movement is detected outside of your home.
Most home security cameras are outfitted with a 9 V battery which offers 5 to 10 hours of uptime.
Any slight movement will alert one of these cameras, and then it will instantly begin recording the area.
However, for best recording and playback ability, we suggest getting a camera with the highest resolution you can afford.
Many cameras have low resolution and offer little more than a fuzzy, unusable recording.
Another great option for recording movement is the digital video camera, which is smaller than non-digital cameras.
They also don't require a tape to record.
The data is then stored in the memory for transfer later on.
Security camera systems have been available for many years, although with advancing technology and decreasing prices they are now available to the average person simply wants to protect their greatest investment and themselves.
They provide peace of mind when you're away from your home and allow you to sleep better at night knowing that your family and valuable possessions are well protected.
