Enhance Your Home Security with a CCTV Monitoring System
Overview
If you're considering enhancing your home security, a Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) monitoring system might be a great option. This system typically includes at least one surveillance camera, various lenses for specific areas (including pan, zoom, and infrared for night vision), and a video recorder to capture the footage.
Planning Your CCTV System
Before setting up your CCTV system, take a thorough walk around your home to identify vulnerable areas needing surveillance. While your house is the primary focus, don't forget other parts like the garage, breezeway, in-law quarters, yard, driveway, alleyways, or entrance gates.
Choosing Cameras and Lenses
Depending on the size of your property or specific needs, you might require multiple cameras. This is particularly useful in large homes with different people like babysitters or housekeepers occupying various parts. An effective CCTV setup might even help reduce your insurance costs, especially with a dedicated camera for a home office.
When selecting cameras, consider the area size that requires coverage. Opt for cameras no larger than half an inch, as these provide more extensive lens options.
Types of Lenses
1. Fixed Aperture: Basic option for consistent lighting.
2. Manual or Auto Iris: Ideal for areas with variable lighting. Manual lenses require hand adjustments, while auto iris lenses adjust automatically, making them perfect for outdoor use.
3. Zoom Lenses: Allow you to closely monitor a situation, with some offering motorized zoom options for added convenience.
Monitoring and Recording
Determine the number of cameras needed to decide between using multiple monitors, a switcher (one monitor that alternates views), or a multiplexer (multiple views on one screen simultaneously).
If your recording needs extend beyond 4-6 hours, you might need a commercial-grade recorder instead of a standard household VCR. This ensures continuous monitoring when you're away for extended periods.
By investing in a CCTV system, you enhance your home's security, providing peace of mind and safeguarding your family and property.
