3 Types Of Home Security Cameras You Should Know

Ava Robertson

Home security cameras are a big investment. If you're thinking about improving your home security system, you can consider many types on the market with varying prices and features. A camera installer can help you select the suitable one for your needs, but here are three types you should know.

Panoramic Night-Vision Cameras

These cameras can capture a 180-degree panoramic view of your home. They're especially useful if you live in an open space, such as a ranch or farmhouse where there are acres and acres of land to cover. They can record video at night with infrared LED lights for extra security and can be easily attached or mounted to a wall. On top of that, they use motion-activated recording, so you'll get more of the action.

If you want to gain more from them, hire a camera installer. These professionals will ensure that your camera system is set up properly and operating at peak performance. They'll also ensure that it has a clear line of sight from one side of your house to another, and nothing is blocking their view. Plus, they'll set them up with your smart home hubs so you can view them from your smartphone.

Dome Cameras

Dome security cameras are classic models. They come in a unique shape and resemble dome lights. Their shape makes them perfect for indoor and outdoor use. Dome cameras also come in different colors to match your décor scheme and feature a wide viewing angle to enable you to see the whole room or area it is monitoring. You can use them to monitor pets, babies, elderly parents, and even your home business.

Moreover, they use infrared technology, which allows them to film even in low-light conditions. They're also weatherproof, so you can monitor your outside area during rain or snowfall without worrying about them getting damaged by the elements. Their built-in metal casing also makes them vandal-proof.

Bullet Cameras

Bullet cameras are shaped like a tube and come in varying sizes. They can be mounted on walls or ceilings to monitor any area inside your home. Some bullet-style surveillance devices even have night vision capabilities that allow them to record images during the day or night when there is little light available. They're ideal for monitoring hallways, doorways, or any other area where you need to keep an eye on things. Besides that, you can use them to monitor cars or other property while you're away. Some models have batteries that allow them to operate without being physically connected to an electrical outlet.

There are many types of home security cameras you can choose from and each has its pros. It's vital to work with a camera installer to get one that fits your budget, tastes, and needs.

The Elements of Security

When you really think about it, home security breaks down into three elements. There are the deterrents — things that mentally keep intruders away. This might include things like "no trespassing" signs and strobe lights. There are the preventatives — elements that physically provide a barrier against intruders. Examples include bars on the windows and locks on doors. Then, there are the alert mechanisms. These elements call the police, contact you, and record all activity if someone does happen to intrude. This website exists to educate you all about these elements of security. Start reading, and you'll come up with some great ideas to help bolster your own system.
