Digital Video Recording Systems can “supervise” employees for pennies and hour or provide a homeowner with information about what is happening at the “empty” home.
Video cameras can be placed indoors or outside in special housings. They can be focused on small areas to allow for the identification of faces or cars or they can be focus on large areas to provide anindication of general activity.-insert video camera image viewable at rollover Many systems are capable of remote viewing over the internet with a broadband internet connection and storage on the DVR of images for weeks or months.
Think about these questions to help you clarify what you need . . .
How long do I need recorded images to be available for viewing? A week, a month, longer?
Do I need “close ups” to identify faces or other objects in detail or “activity shots” to see generally what is happening over a wide area?
Will I want access by broadband internet connection of these images?
What would I want see if I were to view images in Real Time?
What kind of lighting will be available when I’m recording images?
How do think I will use these images? My own internal purposes, prosecution, as a deterrent?
For a business application, do I want public or semi public viewing from a monitor and if so, where?
Will I notify others on the property that recording is taking place?
Do I have a secure location to install the DVR, where it can not be tampered with or stolen?
What are the maximum number cameras I think I will ever need?
