Types of cameras available for video surveillance
You have a broad range of video surveillance cameras available to you. Understanding the different kinds will make it easier to determine which one suits you best.
- Fake security cameras – These are not actual cameras. They are a very inexpensive alternative to purchasing an actual system. While these cameras can act as a deterrent, should something happen, you will not have a record of it.
- Covert surveillance cameras – These cameras look like regular items. A wall clock in a small store, a teddy bear in a baby’s room, a potted plant by the front door—each one of these could very easily be a surveillance camera. You can record without anyone knowing it.
- Wireless security cameras – These offer more flexibility in set up. They are easy to install, can be moved easily, are often small, have no tell-tale wires, and are very discreet.
- Wired surveillance cameras – These cameras are appropriate for permanent setup. If you have one location that you would like to constantly monitor and will not need it to be changed, a wired camera is an option. Some may have to be professionally installed.
- Night vision security cameras – These are ideal for any low-light areas, not just for the night time. The camera records in black and white in order to capture images best.
- Home surveillance cameras – When you buy a setup for home, you get a helpful system that often includes such bonuses as timers for your lamps and motion sensors to go with the wireless camera.
