Spy Cam Scenario – Keeping my house safe

Scenario:

There have been several burglaries and crime in my neighbourhood recently and I would like to ensure my home is safe. I live in a three bed terraced house and would like both the front and the back of the house to be secure.

Solution:

We offer a complete 4 camera package that would be ideal for this situation. Each camera is about the size of little french beer bottles and they have great day and night vision, so you can see any intruders even if it’s in the middle of the night.

We would recommend you mount them up near your roof line and run the 4 10m cables across your attic to the recorder. So you can have one at the front and one at the back of your house (perhaps your back door) and then another two where you think works best.Having the DVR in the attic also means it’s safe from burglars. The best thing about this package is the LAN connection as you only need to run 1 cable to your router.

The camera’s have enough space to record for 1 week and with motion detection you can set it to only record when there is movement.  You can also schedule it to come on at any time – so perhaps during the night. You can watch the CCTV through any PC computer in the house (or even from work, or on your phone) so there is no need to keep running up those stairs!

And if all this sounds too much for you then we can do the whole internet set up for you!

‘Tis the season to be weary

Whilst many of us are filled with joy, trying to contain excited children and looking forward to the festive period, there are also certain individuals out there who are also filled with joy – but for the wrong reasons. We currently live in dark times where day becomes night in the afternoon and the current economic situation makes people desperate. Tie in Christmas with the prospect of high-valued goods in the majority of households and you can see the importance that protecting your home becomes.

For many of us we welcome the sight of our home after a busy day around 5.30pm. In December the days are the shortest in the year, meaning that it has been dark since around 4pm. Consider the prospect that your home has been unoccupied for 90 minutes, its pitch black outside and there is a good chance all surrounding houses are also unoccupied during these times – sounds like burglary heaven! In general there are some very good tips to put off a burglar straight away:

- Use timed switches on lamps to create the feeling someone is home

- Install security lighting that reacts to movement

- Use gravel and pebble driveways

- Fit a working or dummy alarm box

In recent weeks we have experienced a lot of customers contacting us looking to protect their house from ANOTHER burglary. CCTV Systems can be designed around the property required, whilst we do have pre-made packs consisting of 2, 4, 6 and 8 cameras alongside a digital recording device, certain properties can benefit from a bespoke system. Spycameracctv can recommend a 4 camera system with infrared cameras and a 500GB recording device, just click on the picture to be taken through to the product description:

Many businesses suffered when the economy went into a recession, but the CCTV industry grew from burglaries and theft as individuals and groups went to desperate measures to earn a ‘quick buck’. Make sure you and your family are protected this Christmas.
