Home security cameras or CCTV (close circuit television) are an effective deterrent for intruders. They are available in wireless as well as hard wired designs and are easy to install. Some of them are small enough to be hidden in corners.
The cameras come in a wide range of designs and perform a variety of functions. A buyer can choose cameras with audio capability and cameras with night vision capability. Some cameras can record time lapse pictures. Others shoot video images of the intruder before triggering the alarm. There are mini cameras that can be hidden from prying eyes. There are also dome cameras which give a wide vision.
You can connect cameras that monitor your home to your living room or bedroom television. This gives you the advantage of watching television and monitoring camera images from time to time. More advanced systems have motion sensors that automatically switch to the camera channel when any movement is detected. They will also automatically switch on your VCR and start recording.
A home Internet security camera that is connected to the Internet can allow you to check your house even while you are away. You, or any other person you specify, can be alerted by e-mail, about an intrusion, or fire.
