Home security, spy cams etc??

Adam

I'd like to know if there is any home security system that allows me to set up a camera at home and then access it through my computer at work??

Maybe something like a spy cam, that i can turn on and off by accessing it on my computer??

Is there anything like that avalible on the market??

Answer
There are plenty of network-ready cameras, but the question is whether your home ISP and work networks are ready for the video feed. Many home ISP providers limit the amount of data you can upload in a day (i.e. 20 MB), so a video feed will max it out quickly. Also, video is a heavy use of a network, so your work network may not have enough extra bandwidth to let the video flow without triggering alarms in your IT dept.

There are tricks, like having a camera take stills and upload them on a timed basis. Or using software that only records when it detects changes in the picture (like when someone comes to the door). You can then either upload the recording (might be too big) or save it on the computer for later viewing. You can usually have it just take a series of stills, instead, which are easier to upload.

I just record everything to a computer and then if there's a problem around my place, I can review the day's video when I have time.

good security camera system for home?

best home security camera review image

vs2009

I have a budget of max $300 for a good security camera system to monitor my backyard and front of the house, any suggestions?

Answer
You may have trouble finding a reliable and working camera system for only $300. I might suggest saving up a little more to add to your budget if at all possible. Good wireless cameras are going to run $180-$400+ for each camera. The ones you can buy at Wal-Mart or whatever don't work very well and are more trouble than they're worth.

You should check out either SafeMart or Home Security Store. Home Security Store is more like a "home depot" for alarm system equipment.

Here's a good article on camera systems and a link to a review of SafeMart. Hope this helps.

What is the best security alarm system with no monthly bill for an one bedroom apartment?

LinTaivia'

Hello, I'm moving into my first apartment and its going to be me and my fiance. Well I'm trying to look for a good security alarm system so no one can break into my house n if so, the alarm will detect. Please give me so good answers and don't be as sarcastic cuz I'm moving soon. And also, please recommend to an alarm system that you have experienced. Thank you so much and God Bless you all

Answer
Well, a dog would be the cheapest option, however if you search for a home security beside a dog, you can install such as security camera, motion sensor, and the most important is connect it to an alarm system.

Most of those security system type is provided by a home security system company such as ADT and it's requiring you to pay for monthly bill, the advantage is alarm system is connected to security provider or nearest police station while the alarm is triggered. However, you still can do install it yourself and no need to pay for monthly bill, off course the system is weaker rather than system that provided by local security company, but it can still afford your budget, you can buy the components from local security companies, generally they available in one set kits.

Just give it try to search for another information online, and if you are want to do install it yourself, look for review and manual guide from articles online would be better idea...Links below may helpful

What's a good LOW LIGHT security camera for home surveillance?

Dcntamcn

Something below 0.01 lux that will pick up nighttime activity in my yard without the limitation of IR illumination. A "star light" camera would be ideal but beyond my limit of $250. Anyone tried and approved a good one?

Answer
I would go with Zmodo 8CH camera since your budget is $250. It is for low light.

It comes with 1 tb harddrive and the video format is H.264 Compression so it has very long recording time. Very good reviews.

What was wrong with my security cameras?

best home security camera review image

Q. So today I came home to a bit of a surprise... I live in a quit neighborhood so I never expected this. Anyway, I find my street blocked off, and when Arriving to my house, found the telephone pole in my neighbor from three doors down's yard snapped in half, and an SUV flipped in their yard.

Then I remembered I have security camera's that point almost directly where it happened. My security camera's record when they detect motion, but when reviewing the video's, it never tapped the accident? The last video before the accident was the mail carrier going up the street, then the next video was 10min later, which showed the car flipped upside down and the street full of cops, firetrucks, etc. But it missed the actual accident... how? The power surprisingly never went out, All my clocks were still set, computers still on, etc. How did it not record it? What's wrong with it?

Answer
Motion detection through video is not a perfect science. The first thing I would do is make sure that all the areas are "armed" by that camera. You may have part of the scene "unarmed". The next thing I would do is put the sensitivity up by one number, making it somewhat "hotter". Experiment with your software settings. See the system manual if you don't know how to change the settings.

what is a good home security system?

best home security camera review image

Dana

I am shopping around for a good home security system that isn't super expensive and works wirelessly as we do not have a landline. So far, all of the reviews I have read for the top two companies (ADT and Protect America) sound like horror stories of fraud and faulty equipment. I just don't want to get ripped off!

Answer
Good system is taking a good look at your residence
1. windows locked. Can they be
2. Are there good locks on the doors (make sure all keys are accounted for, if not,
NO EXCEPTIONS.replace the locks)
3. lights outside the doors (a well lit place at night is not a place robbers will hit first)
4. make sure there are no windows that are not easily seen (prevents people form getting in without being seen)
5. Know the people allowed in your home (robbers taking a chance at a good house to rob or were they informed)
6. take a good look at your neighbors. Make sure you take a moment to know them. They are the ones near your residence. It is always wise to at least have a good presences of who they are

and a few other suggestions
Make sure you are insured. It is not that expensive...and if anything is stolen. It will be worth it

i do not know the name of it but there are plenty of websites that will help you set up different
live cameras form your house (Inside and out). you can go on line and with a pass word you can check your home thru the cameras you set up. (Not to mention nothing is better for the police then a video of the crime)

good luck with it :)

Answer
Check your recording system, wire connection & motion detector sensor, I think it would be damaged among them.
