My Secret To Crafting a Life Of Better Security

By Brian Bordges


Security is always important. Your home or business is the result of years of hard work and investment. A robbery can be devastating financially and emotionally.

If you're one of the growing number of people looking to protect your home or business, you have many options. If you're on a budget, a simple sign announcing the presence of cameras can be used as a deterrent. Studies show that a sign can actually be a better deterrent than the cameras themselves. Another option for people interested in improving security is to hire a team of guards to police the area every day. This would be expensive and unnecessary for most people.

A closed circuit television system can be a great way to make your home or business more secure. This is a good option because cameras are affordable and reliable. With a CCTV system in place, criminals will be less likely to burglarize your property.

With a CCTV system, you can see everything that the camera sees. A system can be as small as one single camera, but bigger facilities may need several cameras. Of course, just looking at things as they are happening is not nearly as valuable as having everything recorded. A record means that you'll have proof of everything that that camera sees.

You'll need a monitor to view everything that your camera is seeing. If you're looking for a CCTV system, know that some of them have monitors included as part of the package. For some people, though, DVR cards are a better option. A DVR card is convenient because it turns the PC you already have into a monitoring device in your CCTV system. With a DVR card, you won't need a dedicated monitor or DVR box.

Not every DVR card is equal, so if you're going to buy one, there are a few things you should be aware of. The first thing that you should look for is frames per second. The frames per second measurement will tell you how quickly the camera captures images. You want a smooth video, so you want a high FPS rate. A CCTV system with a lower frames per second rate will output video that is not as smooth. As long as the DVR card you purchase has a frames per second rate of thirty or higher, you should be okay.

Another thing to think about is the size of the files that a DVR card produces. Usually, a large file size is a good thing because it tends to correlate to a clean, clear image.
