Home Security Camera's - Are They All The Same?
If you’re
not in the know regarding the subject of home security cameras, this might sound like a
legitimate question and actually it’s one of the most popular questions that newcomers
to the home security scene ask first. Sure, in theory, every home security camera should be
the same, as it has the same role of monitoring suspicious activity and scaring off
burglars, but in fact there are several types of home security cameras each suited for a
particular role. Let’s see what some of the most popular home security camera types you
can find out there and find out which one’s most suited for your household.
Wireless home security cameras
Wireless home
security cameras are almost a trend these days, since the old hardwired, traditional models
are harder to install, maintain and oftentimes ruin the aspect of the entire home. Still,
some consider hardwired home security cameras more reliable than wireless ones, since the
latter can be easier to interfere with. Wireless home security cameras are also more
expensive, but the upside is that maintenance for them is easier as you won’t have to
destroy any walls or flooring to repair or replace them, as you would with hardwired models.
Hidden/Spy home security cameras
Although most
people will choose to take larger, more visible cameras for their homes in order to scare
burglars away simply on their sight, others will choose to be more discrete in order to
actually catch the burglars instead of just fending them off. A hidden or spy home security
camera is what you’ll need if you’re part of the second category, or, well, if you
want to spy on someone for whatever reasons.
Indoor/Outdoor home security cameras
The difference
between indoor and outdoor security cameras is that the first are usually smaller, less
imposing from a visual point of view, whereas the outdoor home security cameras are built
with vandal resistance and protection from weather elements in mind. They are also usually
bigger and more visible, as to warn off burglars from a distance that this household is well
protected.
Fake outdoor home security cameras
Fake outdoor
home security cameras are exact replicas of normal cameras, except for the fact
that…they don’t do anything. Their main purpose is to look mean and protective as
to scare off burglars and they can be a less expensive alternative for those high powered
home security cameras. However, take note that you are taking a risk by buying a fake
outdoor home security camera, as an experienced burglar might be able to spot the difference
and take your house as easy practice.
Night vision home security cameras
These cameras,
as the name suggests, are designed to protect your home at night and they can work in
complete darkness. Night vision home security cameras work as normal cameras during the day,
offering quality color video but as soon as the light drops below a certain threshold, it
automatically switches on its infrared mode. Similarly, when the light comes back on, the
night vision home security camera automatically de-activates its infrared mode and goes back
to normal video.
As you can see,
there are multiple types of home security cameras and it will be your needs and your budget
that will determine which one is best for you.
