Wi-Fi Camera Halts Theft and Helps Catch Suspect

A young man installed a few Home Monitoring Cameras with night vision in his apartment. He linked them to his smartphone, arranged for a live stream feed, activated the voice system, and set up various alerts. Then, he went about his life.

One evening, while he was out with friends, an alert sounded on his smartphone that a window had been opened. He then accessed the live feed and watched in astonishment as a thief wandered around his apartment and piled up his belongings, including his television, computer, stereo, and other valuables. Remembering the voice system, the young man activated it and ordered the thief to leave his home.Startled, the thief ran away.

The young man showed the recorded footage of the incident to police, who used it to arrest the thief.

How wonderful, the young man, who paid a very reasonable price for his Wi-Fi Cameras, didn’t lose any valuables and participated in the capture of the thief.

Wireless Home Monitoring Cameras

Wireless Home Monitoring Cameras or Wi-Fi Monitoring Cameras, as their names suggest, are wireless cameras that can link to your smart phone, computer, iPad, or whatever device you wish. You can aim the camera anywhere and protect anything.

The cameras transmit images via Wi-Fi to a linked device or DVR or cloud network for storage. Some cameras have recording capabilities and use micro cards to save videos. Once the cards are full, you can either record over them or purchase new cards. You can also save videos on your computer.

Cloud Home Security Cameras

When you want to monitor for home intrusions, keep an eye on your baby and children, and watch the dog, all at the same time, Cloud Home Security Camera or Wi-Fi Cloud Cameras are good choices. They use a Web Portal, rather than a smartphone, computer, laptop, etc., for monitoring, yet you can use those devices to check in through the Web Portal.

This way, you do not have to record anything manually or, in other words, on a DVR or through the camera using replaceable cards

Dummying it All Down

The Cloud

Don’t confuse the cloud with the white puffy things in the sky. The cloud, in terms of Wi-Fi Cameras and other things technology, isn’t a physical entity. It’s actually a network of distinct servers. Some servers run applications while others store data.

If you take a photo with your smartphone and save it to the phone, it’s stored on the phone's internal memory drive. If you then upload the photo to Facebook, you upload it to the cloud.

Web Portal

A Web Portal isn’t a Twilight Zone doorway or Star Trek destination. It’s a specifically designed website that functions as an access point for information. The site usually brings in data from different sources in a constant manner.

A Web Portal can also be thought of as a collection of individualized and labeled content. It helps in search navigation, notification, personalization, and data assimilation.

Put it Together

As mentioned earlier, when you use a Cloud Surveillance Camera and upload what you recorded to your device’s cloud, you do so through the device’s Web Portal, which you access through your smartphone, laptop, computer, or any device.

It’s always going to sound a bit confusing, especially because of the techno language. But, hopefully, this clear things up, at least a little.

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.
