Among the main reasons for deciding to install a home surveillance system is, of course, ensuring the protection and safety of your family members. Some statistics show that homes without any type of security are up to five times more likely to be subject to theft than homes equipped with alarms or surveillance cameras. In fact, the presence of a security system or surveillance camera has a deterrent effect on thieves. How can we defend against this calamity? A valid answer is offered by using a surveillance camera. A good video surveillance camera system is the most comprehensive method to secure your home. Thanks to this system, we can continuously monitor threats from the outside, even when we are not at home. There are different types of video surveillance cameras that can be used in our homes, with varying prices, features, and functions. The simplest and cheapest video surveillance system is represented by a surveillance camera connected to a PC. Usually, it uses software that allows you to make live video calls to monitor the situation at home, even in our absence. To activate this system, you simply need to connect the surveillance camera with a cable or use a Wi-Fi surveillance camera and, of course, leave it activated. IP cameras, on the other hand, are always connected to the Internet. This is a type of surveillance camera that uses the Internet Protocol to transmit images and command signals via a Fast Ethernet connection. In practice, these are cameras with an IP address that we can access, provided we have a connection, from anywhere in the world.
