Is your home secure from intruders? Would you be alerted if there were suspicious activities outside the front door? If you can’t answer these questions with a resounding yes, then you need to boost your home security with an indoor and an outdoor wireless security camera.
Extend Video Surveillance Outdoors
Okay, you’ve got yourself covered indoors and you’re smug about this. But you’re forgetting that home security is not just monitoring the nanny and the kids. You have to know if there are any unusual goings-on out there; if you are staying in an apartment, you need to know who is knocking on the door and what he has behind his back – a pizza carton or a gun? An outdoor wireless security camera can give you the right answer.
Through the door’s peep hole, you can see the person’s distorted face but you can’t guess what he is toting. An outdoor wireless security camera positioned across the door and another on the outer door at eye-level can solve the problem for you. Still if he is a stranger, you don’t open the door. You communicate to him through the camera’s two-way audio/speakers and that’s that. You’re safe behind that door.
Here’s an additional bonanza. If you are getting home and content insurance, you’re likely to get bigger discounts if you have put up an outdoor wireless security camera and your home is rigged with indoor surveillance cameras. So on top of your home security, you get a better deal from the insurance company.
So Many Brands, It’s Confusing!
There is a host of wireless security camera brands. Before you get lost in the maze, make a checklist of what you need from your outdoor wireless security camera. Here are some factors to consider before you lug home a brand new outdoor security camera:
– Camera range. Do you need a security camera that has an extensive range or no?
– Is your part of the neighborhood well-illuminated at night with street lamps?
– Is there a power source nearby?
– Is the weather in your area warmer or colder?
– Do you want a date/time/sequence recording?
– Do you want the convenience of a battery strength indicator?
– Do you prefer an easy delete of all recordings?
– Do you want a camera that still works well in total darkness?
– Do you want a solar-powered outdoor security camera?
– Do you want a motion detection feature to save on unnecessary recordings?
These are a lot of questions to ask yourself but these are valuable when you are seeking an expert’s help to guide you in your choice of outdoor wireless security camera. Brand comparison can come later on when you have identified the features you need with your outdoor security camera, and oh, your budget will also have a lot of say on the matter of camera brands.
The Pros of Boosting Home Surveillance
There’s much to gain when you boost home surveillance with an outdoor wireless security camera or cameras. You gain peace of mind over the security of home and family and you can control and manage your home security without calling in the guards. There’s that home and content insurance discount too. Now you know why it pays to boost your home security with exterior surveillance cameras.

Nothing is more important to us than the safety and security of our families and our homes. It would be nice to think that we could always be around to keep an eye on things, but even if we had eyes in the backs of our heads we simply could not keep constant tabs on our loved ones and our home without some help. That is why a hidden home security camera is such a valuable asset.
A hidden home security camera has many valuable applications. A hidden home security camera can help secure your possessions in ways that a visible camera can not. While a visible camera may deter some thieves, others might disable the camera before robbing you of your possessions. Sadly, this scenario would leave you robbed and without an opportunity to catch and prosecute the thieves. A hidden home security camera is likely to give you the best opportunity to identify the guilty party and recover your property before it is too late.
A hidden home security camera can also help you solve acts of crime or vandalism that have already occurred. Sadly it is not uncommon for home owners to have recurring problems such as vandalism, trespassing, or even peeping toms. A hidden home security camera will not only help a home owner find the culprit, but the video tape can provide invaluable evidence for law enforcement.
A hidden home security camera has obvious uses when trying to secure our homes from strangers and intruders, but a hidden home security camera can also help protect us from people we know as well. A popular use for hidden home security cameras is to use them to monitor people who work in our homes such as nannies, housekeepers, or contractors. While it would be nice if we could have unconditional trust for people who we invite to work in our homes, the reality is that even a thorough background check is not enough to guarantee professional and legal conduct of our in-home employees. A hidden home security camera provides an additional layer of security and peace of mind when we hire someone to work in our homes.
A hidden home security camera also helps protect our families from things far more benign than intruders or unethical employees. A hidden home security camera is the perfect companion in a baby’s nursery. A hidden home security camera is an anxious new parent’s best friend because it gives them the freedom to take care of important tasks while still keeping a watchful eye on the new baby.
Today’s hidden home security cameras come in all shapes and sizes, and can even allow you to monitor your home from a remote location using the internet. From securing your home from strangers, to protecting your precious newborn, hidden home security cameras have a myriad of applications that can help nearly any homeowner add a new layer of security to their home, possessions, and loved ones.

hi i am looking for a programmable home security camera system that will record on to hard drive, and will take between 4/8 cameras it must also contain a large hard drive for storage but 2 cameras will do for now & must be reasonably priced must have all attachments required to plug & play as i dont want to be robbed from add ons . thanks
I took a look at that camera and my concern is it is onlly 240 lines as well it is CMOS not CCD. Yes it is nice and cute and will probbaly work for general area surveillance but will not give you any usable detail.
As for your actual question. The best way to go would be an embeded Linux based DVR. I really don’t know all too much about the retail ones on th market as I tend to stay away from the consumer end garbage. For my customers, I like to use Capture as their software is nice and easy to use. They have several different units available, but I tend to use their 4 channel because it is less expensive to buy 2 – 4’s vs 1 – 8 Channel and the software enables you to access mulitple units on one screen. Of course there are higher end units out there like Pelco and Panasonic and yes the quality in some of these can be better, however most people will not notice the difference and really don’t need it.
If you got anything out of the above rambling, it should be software is key. Well of course recording rate, compression, and image size is important as well. I would stay away from the retail units, and definately the package systems for under 1k. Camera’s will be garbage and the recorder suspect.
I have written an article on the basics of video surveillance, you can find it on my website at http://www.keepsafesystems.ca. Protection101.
Good Luck
