Many homeowners buy a security camera system for peace of mind when they aren’t home. Some types of cameras will alert you of any suspicious movement near the entrance of your home by sending a text to an app on your phone. You might also use a more interactive system where you can audibly speak to someone approaching your home – which could come in handy if you need to tell a postal worker where to place a package. The sight of a security camera is typically a deterrent to someone attempting to break into a home.
Types of Indoor Security Cameras
There are two major categories of security cameras: indoor and outdoor. One popular type of camera is a wired indoor camera. These are typically dome cameras mounted on the ceiling of a home, capturing a wide view of the home from above. Information gathered from the camera’s view can then be transmitted by a coaxial or ethernet cable to a recording device.
A wireless indoor camera produces similar results, but their transmission is done via a Wifi network, and their pictures are stored in the cloud. These cameras can be programmed to detect and activate motion upon that motion. For example, the camera might be programmed to dispense dog food when it “sees” a dog or instead to measure the air quality, temperature, and humidity in a baby’s room.
Types of Outdoor Security Cameras
Wired outdoor cameras are nicknamed “bullet cameras” and are named for their long and cylindrical shapes. Those cameras are typically mounted high on an outdoor wall and plugged into an outdoor outlet. Wireless outdoor cameras have a similar function to indoor wireless cameras, and they’re mounted on an outdoor wall with a mount and screw set. Some of these wireless outdoor cameras can be programmed to use a high-voltage searchlight and a siren to scare away intruders.
Wire-free cameras are available in battery-operated models. They typically record pictures only when motion is detected. Because their batteries have a short life, these cameras don’t make continuous recordings. Some of these cameras have an attachment to a solar panel, which can gather enough power to keep it running for a longer period.
