Home security camera helps to identify the persons, even before they enter into your house. These cameras can be connected to computer or television. By switching ON the camera, inmates or the owner will be able to trace out the person who is standing before the main entrance of his house. Therefore, the owner gets a clear picture of who is standing in the main gate or at the main entrance or at the main door.

Location & Fixing Of Security Camera

Security cameras must be installed in strategic places. They should be able to send information to the owner and also should not come to the notice of person standing opposite to it, making him near impossible to locate it. If one feels that, it is located, then it is better, if they change the position from where the camera is being kept. The strategic places are upper most corners of main door or main gate, sides of main gate or the door, and so on. The place of fixing the camera should be decided and pre-planned. It is best to install these cameras on the roof or terrace of your house.

Black and white & Color Camera

There are two basic types of cameras available, black and white, and the color camera. Black and White cameras are available for lower cost, and are more effective during nights. They can be used during night times as captured black and white images or videos are very clearer compared to colored ones. One can go for mobile black and white cameras too. Mobile cameras can be connected to computer systems to read the captured image data. These mobile cameras are helpful in police investigations in eventuality of any crimes.

The colored cameras on the other hand, are the latest entry into security cameras. They are capable of taking colorful pictures, or videos. They can produce high resolution realistic good quality pictures. The attacker can be easily be identified. The only drawback of these cameras is that they are costlier than their black-n-white counter parts.

Closed Circuit Television (CCTV)

The latest technology in the field of videography is use of Closed Circuit Television (CCTV). One can see the camera installations at the top of various public buildings such as, railway stations, bus stands, airports. One can purchase and put up a CCTV for private use such as monitoring rooms, monitoring surroundings of houses etc. CCTV’s are some times effective in detecting high profile criminal offenses like kidnapping etc.

The Camera & Television

One can also install the CCTV in their offices, shopping malls etc. The CCTV comes with two units. The camera unit will be kept at the area to be monitored. The television unit will be kept at the owners place. Some CCTV’s have got recording unit built into camera unit itself. It is better to have recording unit at the owners place also, as a safety measure. Some CCTVs have got wireless communication facility. Wireless communication is better between camera unit and TV units as wired communication fails, if a wire connecting the units is broken.

In advanced countries like the US, Canada, China, CCTV and security cameras are in most demand. In developing countries, the knowledge regarding CCTV use is very less. They are seen only in public places, such as airports, railway stations, and even in bus stands. Illiteracy on security features has taken its toll, because it has created advantage for intruders, attackers, thieves. People should get educated themselves in using these devices.
