Educate yourself about Security Cameras

SECURITY PRODUCTS:
Security Cameras are one of the best ways to monitor your home or office. First you must decide whether you need an indoor or an outdoor system and whether or not to use closed-circuit (cctv) or wireless cameras. Day or night use will also affect the type of camera you by, some have built in infra-red that allow them to 'see' in the dark.

Security Cameras Types:

Outdoor Cameras

Outdoor cameras need to be able to withstand extreme temperatures and humidities and usually come in a weatherproof casing that also helps protect against vandalism.

Infra-Red Cameras

These cameras have infrared LEDs installed around the lens of the camera. This provides light the camera can use to 'see in the dark' even when no outside light is available. In some low light installations, a day/night camera will work as well.

Day / Night Security Cameras

Day / Night cameras have a super sensitive imaging chip in them. This allows these cameras to work great in low light with no infrared lighting needed. Low light means that there is some light available but not a lot, for example from street lights or even moon light. If your application has absolutely no light then you'll need to use infrared instead.

Mini Security Cameras

Mini cameras are some of the smallest available, but still offer extremely good resolution and are ideal for unobtrusive surveillance. The compact design of these coin cameras make them very easy to hide and difficult to see.

Bullet / Finger Cameras

Bullet / Finger cameras are small, compact and can be placed almost anywhere. These cameras are great for covert surveillance. The lens is built into the camera and cannot be switched. The main advantages to the bullet camera is their low cost and their small size.

Dome Cameras

Dome cameras are a popular style. Dome cameras present a streamline and professional look to any company, organization or building. They are available in both black & white and color formats. Some dome cameras come in an armor dome to protect against vandalism. Typically, they're only used indoors.
