When shopping for a home surveillance camera system, think about what you would like to gain out of the system first. Many individuals will inform you that you have to spend a lot of money on Ceiling Camera Mounts with PTZ (Pan/Tilt/Zoom) capabilities in order to effectively secure your home. The issue with this method is that while you are saving up the countless dollars for the technology that certain people say you want, more damage and theft may still occur on your property. PTZ cameras are fantastic, but they are typically too large and expensive for household installations. Instead, consider what you want to gain out of the system, as this will define what is and is not necessary for your system.

A wide field of view is usually preferable for your situation if you want to provide basic protection of your property in order to see if anyone is on it. These cameras have a large field of view, enabling you to capture the entire yard with a single camera. Wide-angle cameras, on the other hand, are not appropriate for every placement. These cameras provide excellent coverage for "What" is happening but struggle to deliver "Who" is doing it if they are within 10-25 feet of the camera. Even though a wide-angle camera makes things appear smaller in the viewport, as you go closer to the Ptz Camera Controller, the individual would look smaller and smaller.

If you have a narrow "pinch-point," gate, or pathway that people must pass through when entering or exiting your property, it may make sense to supplement the wide-angle cameras with such a camera with a tighter width of vision, providing coverage of the specified narrow area using a fixed-zoom lens. This allows you to obtain more details and footage on the "Who," allowing you to determine who is entering your home. When combined with a wide-angle camera that displays what is happening, you can easily obtain the entire tale. These narrow angle cameras are commonly used for driveways, entry gates, or even the side alley connecting your home and the neighbor's house. These Auto Track Ptz Camera will provide a far better view by putting you near the action and providing a higher quality image in these tight spaces.

There are two types of DVRs for recording. There are devices specifically built for recording from your residential security cameras. The Standalone DVR is the original type of DVR. DVR is a VCR-sized HD video recorder which will digitally record from the cameras into an internal hard drive, allowing you to record whenever motion is detected, see live cams, and playback video recordings right on your TV screen. These DVRs offer an excellent basic setup for residential customers. A Computer-Based DVR system is the next sort of system. It is a card that fits into your PC to give inputs for security cameras with PC-Based DVR Cards. The cameras then capture onto your PC's hard drive using the provided software. DVR Systems are usually more advanced than stand-alone DVR systems, as they offer higher definition recording and much more remote viewing options.
