Six Reasons You Should Install a Wi-Fi Security System

A Wi-Fi security camera audits and records all that is going on. It is connected to a main server through a wireless network, where the homeowner and/or business owner can see and record everything. The owner controls the Wi-Fi camera from inside the home or business or remotely, from a computer or smartphone.The Wi-Fi Camera wirelessly conveys video signals to a wireless receiver that is linked to your recording device.

If you’ve ever considered installing a Wi-Fi, here are six reasons for doing so.

1. Wi-Fi Security Cameras are Wire Free

Other security systems attach to walls and telephones through wires. Intruders can simply cut those wires prior to breaking in. There are no such wires with a Wi-Fi Security Camera and, even with a power shortage and/or downed telephone lines, recording will continue as Wi-Fi Security Cameras run on batteries and utilize cellphone frequencies.

2. Live Video Feed

You can watch live feeds of your Wi-Fi Camera at any time, and not just to check for intruders. You can make sure your children have come home from school or from a party or see who may be approaching your door or delivering a package.

3. Insurance Discount

Insurance companies almost always provide premium discounts whenever a homeowner or business owner makes their property safer. Such bonuses often occur when a property is located near a fire hydrant, in a community that provides security, and when the owner installs a home security system.

4. Unlimited Choice of Placement

Since Wi-Fi Security Cameras don’t require wires, they can be placed anywhere you want, be it inside the home, outside the home, in a bedroom, in the kitchen, in the backyard… Anywhere you want.

5. Renters’ Accessibility

Renters were often unable to use security cameras as installation usually required the drilling of holes. Wi-Fi Security Camerasare wireless and require no such drilling. Any such restrictions should, thus, be non-applicable.

6. Visible Deterrence

The main purpose of Wi-Fi Cameras, of course, is to record goings on and the identities and activities of any intruders. They, also, however, serve as visible reminders to any criminal that your home is protected and that the police would catch them should they even think of trying to do anything harmful to your home.

Wi-Fi Security Cameras are simply a great way to keep your home, business, and family same.

Surveillance Cameras : Benefits of Cloud Storage

What is Cloud Storage?

When a Wi-Fi camera records activity, it has to send the saved video somewhere. It can send it to a viewing and recording device or hard drive. You must be diligent and watchful when you record in this manner and make sure you change filled cards so that you don’t record over previous records, unless that’s your intent, or fill up your hard drive - it may seem strange to think one could actually fill up a hard drive, but such could easily happen if one is recording hours of surveillance. Carefulness is required to ensure that certain recordings aren’t deleted or lost.

Benefits of Cloud Storage

Or, one can arrange to forward Wi-Fi Security Camera recordings to Cloud Storage. When such is arranged, recordings are forwarded to an online storage system. There are three types: 1) Public Cloud Storage (data is kept in global centers; 2) Hybrid Cloud Storage (a mix of public and private services); and, 3) Private Cloud Storage (a firewall protects data).

Recovery

 

The main benefit of Wi-Fi Camera Cloud Storage is disaster recovery. Once a video is in the cloud, it’s always there and always available.

Accessibility

One can access recordings from the cloud Wi-Fi security camera through their computer or smartphone, from any location.

Ease

Making sure home devices are current on home device requires effort and maintenance. With cloud storage, all one has to do is create an account. Recordings are then automatically stored. And, cloud surveillance cameras were intentionally designed to connect directly to cloud storage. One could moveand nothing needs to be done.

Cost

Cloud Storage is also reasonably affordable, especially when it is compared to monthly back up fees, and provides more. As well, there’s no hardware or parts of any kind.

Maintenance

Cloud Services provides support and customer service, as well as troubleshooting and upkeep, which eliminates the need to contact repair technicians and having to wait for their arrival.

Updates

Cloud systems are always being updated. Problems are continually fixed and benefits are constantly revised.

No Worries

There are practically no worries when it comes to utilizing cloud storage for Wi-Fi camera recordings.

Cloud storage simply makes everything so much easier.

Clever Uses for Home Monitoring Cameras

Home Monitoring Cameras

Home Monitoring Cameras can be used inside and/or outside the home and office. They allow one to sit at home or at their desk and check up on what the kids are doing; monitor the babysitter while out on a date, to see who is knocking at the door. All of this can be done discreetly and in real time, through a computer, laptop, or smartphone.

But, did you know you know that home monitoring cameras are helpful in other ways?

Pest Control

Home monitoring cameras are sensitive enough to detect pests such as rats and mice. Home monitoring cameras can even help detect insects. Once the camera captures the behavior on camera, an extermination service can properly dispose of the pest or, at least, keep them away.

Record Sleeping Patterns

A home monitoring camera can also be used to record a person’s sleep. Some individuals suffer with sleep issues and watching a tape of what goes on during the night can help them figure out what they need to do or if they need to seek professional treatment.

Baby Monitors

Baby monitors once used to just let a parent know if their baby was crying. With home monitoring cameras, parents can actually see what their baby is doing in real time.

Lovers of nature can create videos that show nature’s beauty, such as a growing flower or the changing seasons. And, with a home monitoring system, you don’t need expensive technology to create the effect.
