Are you in the market for security cameras for your home? Here are a few tips to help you choose the best security systems for your home.

Types of Security Cameras

Trying to find the best security cameras? Dome cameras may be the way to go.

If you’re thinking about investing in security cameras, you’ll quickly realize that there are several types to choose from. Here are a few of the most common types and their advantages and disadvantages.

• Bullet Cameras. Bullet cameras are available in analog CCTV, HD-TVI and IP technologies, and there are several megapixel options. Bullet cameras are popular for monitoring outside perimeters. They are cost-effective, easy-to-install and both indoor and outdoor options are available.
• Dome Cameras. Dome cameras are self-contained units featuring an enclosure that protects the lens. They’re easy to install and look good in virtually any environment. They come in a range of megapixel options and the latest technologies. With a dome camera, the camera angle is obstructed, making it more difficult for thieves and intruders to avoid being caught on camera.
• Infrared Cameras. Infrared, or IR, cameras provide day and night surveillance capabilities. IR LEDs allow the camera to see in the dark, and they come with a variety of IR ranges. Whether you need to see a few feet around your front door or you’re looking for something that can see 300’ or more in the dark, an infrared camera is the way to go.
• Hidden Cameras. Also known as spy cameras, hidden cameras provide enhanced home security when installed in addition to traditional video security cameras. Hidden cameras offer covert surveillance, and they’re available in several styles, making them easy to hide inside common household items. Choose from wired or convenient wireless models.
