Crime is unfortunately something that many of us worry about. If there has been a recent spate of home break-ins in your area or cars that have been vandalised or stolen, you may consider buying a CCTV system. CCTV can help in a number of ways. Often having CCTV can be a deterrent and you may avoid falling victim to crime just by having a camera installed. If a crim does take place, then you may catch them in the act or at least have some footage that may be able to assist the police or used in court if they are caught.
When comparing CCTV systems it is important to know the specs of all the cameras for you to work out which one is best for you. If you want to have more than one camera then you may opt for a multi camera system that all link up to one box. If you want to be able to video outside at night then night visions quality is a must. You should also look at the angle that can be viewed through the camera as some will only view 70 degrees and others upwards of 110 degrees. So cameras have a pan and tilt function allowing them to move when movement is detected or are set intervals. Most IP cameras will have an app to allow you to view live footage and also recordings of any movement detections that triggered the system. Check what motion detection features each camera has and how it can alert you before making your choice.
