Hidden Spy Camera Blog » Outdoor Home Security Cameras-Product Reviews

by admin

Is there any doubt how big a problem home security has become? One of the reasons crooks are targeting homes is that businesses are beefing up security with everything from security guards to mostly security cameras indoors and outdoors on their premises.

There is another reason why homes are more popular with the burglar set: homeowners make it so darn easy. Some things for you to think about.

1.Every 15 seconds-That is how often a home burglary occurs

2.Sixteen Percent-The percent of homes annually that are burglarized. If you live in a home for over six years chances are you will be a victim.

3.Sixty Percent-The percentage of homes burglarized thru open doors or windows.

There are plenty of things a homeowner can do to “harden” his home as a target. Window and door alarms, motion activated spotlights, signage about guard dogs, NRA stickers and more all are good steps to make your home less vulnerable. The best thing you can do is to get an outdoor home security camera. Here are two inexpensive options.

USB DVR System -This surveillance system can be used indoors and outdoors and has night time capability. It is easy to install, very cost effective at less than $500.00 and easy to use. It has 4 cameras that hook up to the USB DVR which connects to your computer. It has remote internet viewing capability so you can watch from anywhere there is internet connectivity.

IP Cameras -These cameras hook up directly to your computer saving you money on hardware. They use an IP address to transmit video through a network using Ethernet/CAT5 cable. Included IP camera software will support up to 16 cameras. Because IP cameras can connect into a network you can log in remotely and view or playback video.

Think about this to see if you agree. Imagine you were a crook looking to do a home invasion or burglary. Would you choose a target that had a surveillance camera over the entrances-front and back door? Nope you would select someone else-exactly what you want.
