Security is one of the top of mind concerns for most people
these days. For this reason, many go to extremes to maintain the safety of
family and self like buying an array of firearms, which can be quite
counter-productive. You don’t need to. What you really need to do is to invest
in preventive measures. When you buy a mini
bullet security camera, don’t think you are buying a camera which
is bullet proof. Those are different. It means you have put up an outdoor,
weather resistant casing over a security camera. Putting an indoor camera in
outdoor camera housing may result in glare from the glass of the housing.
Infrared (IR) security cameras are your best bet for protection... no matter
what your environmental conditions are.
IR or LED equipped security cameras are surveillance cameras
that already have the IR or LED lights built into the body, and they will
automatically provide infrared light in low light situations for better picture
clarity. You should keep in mind that infrared cameras are way different from
night vision ones, though many security experts tend to use the terms
interchangeably. The night vision cameras use an array of lenses to
intensify light up to half a dozen times what the human eye can perceive. An IR
sensitive security camera is not the same thing as an IR equipped camera, and
this is something that needs to be known. What an IR sensitive camera does is
enable itself to pick up infrared light and use it to take low light video
recordings.
The varifocal IR bullet cameras are
often seen in outdoor areas because they can monitor a longer range than a dome
camera. The casing resembles a radar gun and is easily recognizable by most
people. The presence of a security system is often enough to convince an
intruder to walk away. Unless the camera is used only for deterrence,
there must be a convenient way to record the images and play them back with
enough clarity that they are useful. This is an aspect which you must not
ignore when buying your security camera.
