How to Choose the Right Home CCTV Security Camera System

For many years now Australians, like most people worldwide, have become used to CCTV in shopping centres and other places such as offices and parking places. Many cities and towns also use them to monitor traffic and the general movement of people in streets and public spaces.

More and more homeowners in Australia are also now installing closed-circuit television systems at their homes. This article discusses different available home CCTV security systems and how to decide on the best camcorder for a home.

Why home CCTV security cameras?

Most homeowners indicate that they’ve installed CCTV camera systems to give them 24/7 peace of mind regarding the safety of their homes and families. Often, prevention of crime is the only reason to install close-circuit television at home, but homeowners can also utilise the system to check up on children, people working inside the home, and even on family pets.

If there has been a burglary at home, the records on the security system can assist the police in identifying the burglars. Insurance companies also use the images to help settle claims.

Different options

There are various types of systems to choose from.

CCTV camera with monitor

To check what is going on in the areas or rooms where CCTV has been installed, the homeowner needs cameras connected to monitors.

  • Without Wi-Fi: People who don’t want to use Wi-Fi connections usually have small monitors wired to the cameras and placed in the kitchen, bedroom, home office, or other convenient place to watch. When the person is not at home, there is no contact with the system.
  • With Wi-Fi: The advantage of linking security equipment via Wi-Fi with a homeowner’s mobile device is that it enables the homeowner to be away from home but still be able to see on the device’s screen what is happening at home any time of the day or night.

Other aspects regarding choosing the best CCTV cameras for home

The purpose for installing a CCTV system dictates what type of camera should be used. Sometimes a solar camera is the best choice, and for other environments, one connected to an electric outlet is the best option.

There are various solar and non-solar units available. Local security system providers will be able to supply homeowners with detailed information about the various available options.

The most popular types to choose from are the following:

  • Infrared night vision cameras for night surveillance and/or heat detection,
  • dome cameras for 360-degree views,
  • bullet cameras for easy installation, and
  • 4K cameras for detailed images.

Conclusion

There are excellent CCTV security camera systems for home security available in Australia. Consult with local installing agencies, or if the installation will be a DIY job, talk to suppliers to gather information to make the right choices.
