About security cameras?

Q. So, I've been wondering for a while about punishments of crimes and these security cameras and laws and ect, because I'm always curious. I'm JUST wondering, I'm not gonna use this to do anything wrong or something. Is there someone watching security cameras 24/7? Or do they only look back at them in a crime. For like banks and crowded malls, I would expect someone watching all the time. But like in small stores and schools, is someone really watching our every movement?! I can't imagine someone having the BORING job of watching a camera everyday, just wishing for some action.


Answer
Like you said it depends on the location. Some places have people constantly watching them, others record them and if they find out there was a crime they will review them. A lot of places (like schools) will have someone watching the monitors but they will have other jobs as well. So in a school, often times the monitors will be in the deans office or in a school police office, and the person will have other duties that they do, but they will try to keep watch of the cameras as well.

Banks definitely have people watching them all the time and stores usually do to.

Where to position security cameras? How many? BEST ANSWER TOP POINTS!?

Q. Okay, I'm getting a security camera system with DVR. The cameras are going to be mounted inside the window, mounted to look over the front of my home. They can't be mounted outside, as vandals will tamper with them. I was wondering where should I aim them. It is mainly for my driveway, but there is a van and a car parked on the street. Should I get more than 1 camera, and where should I aim each camera. Thanks

Answer
Thomas - Good question. By the way, are these cameras motion-activated? A lot of good cameras are these days (like ours) - so it means that the recording only happens when there is movement, and that makes reviewing the footage a lot easier. In addition, the good cameras allow remote access via any web-enabled device, so you cold access the cameras from anywhere, if you wanted. These systems have really evolved. We sell two indoor cameras that are wireless, and one hard-wired external camera. I use the fixed camera in the basement (where our home office is, so it's protecting all the computers). As for the upstairs, I use a pan & tilt camera pointing out the window. It's got a wide field of view, and with the remote control of the pan & tile, I can see just about anywhere. Also, sounds like you need infra-red functionality, if you want your camera to see at night (in total darkness), so make sure you look into that as well when shopping. Our indoor cameras need some light to see, but there are infra-red indoor cameras to point our a window - they just cost more.

Sounds like you need two cameras at least: one for the driveway, and one to cover the vehicles.
