During difficult economic times, many of us have to tighten our belts a little bit so that we can weather the storm. Unfortunately, as times keep getting tougher for many people, occurrences of theft and vandalism at home seem to continue to increase. While often these events are simply minor annoyances, they can also become very costly for the homeowner as well.
In the last month, we have spoken with many homeowners who have been victimized by individuals with a wide array of different vandalism or theft events at their homes. Most of these individuals live in affluent areas, in neighborhoods that they have always considered to be safe. Some have had theft of bicycles, tools or even mailboxes from their yard or garage areas, while others have had more drastic vandalism such as broken windshields, paint being poured over vehicles, and even smashed lights, windows and more. All of the homeowners we have spoken with have told us that when the police arrived, they always asked if they had any video evidence of what had occurred, even in cases where the homeowner saw who committed the act on their property. It is getting to the point where if you want the perpetrators brought to justice, you have to help the police by providing them with evidence. Otherwise your bad neighbor, the kids up the block or other perpetrator may just walk free.
Many of the homeowners that have been affected by the increase in crime in their area have now installed outdoor weatherproof security cameras with internet remote viewing, to allow them to keep watch of their home over the internet while at work from a cell phone, PDA, or laptop. As many of them have been burglarized or vandalized multiple times, and are ready to catch the thieves or vandals red-handed before their behavior escalates. While we hope that our customers will never need to use the video from their systems, unfortunately many of them do end up using the video sooner than they would even imagine.
Outdoor infrared security cameras can provide color video during the daytime and infrared night vision in black and white at night. Each outdoor infrared home security camera provides varying distances and strengths of night vision as well as different resolutions to suit every budget and installation requirement. These cameras can be connected to a standalone DVR or PC-Based DVR Card that will record from the cameras and allow the cameras to be viewed even over the internet while away from home. Home security camera systems can help to provide valuable evidence when vandalism or theft does occur at home, and sometimes provides homeowners with their only chance at bringing the perpetrator to justice.
