good security camera system for home?

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.

Home Security System?

tata

My neighbor just got broken in yesterday and I'm thinking about put in the home security system at my house. Can anyone please recommend one? There are so many out there. I need to keep the cost as low as possible. If you have experienced with one please let me know what you think of them, the good and the bad.

Thank you for your time.

Answer
all home security systems offered by companies like ADT,will charge a monitoring fee, this can be expensive. you can go to radio shack and get almost the same stuff. plus with radio shack stuff you have the convienince of adding additional equipment to the main system,grant it radio shack isnt the top of the line but it its not bad,you can also get infrared-motion sensing color cameras. the are relatively inexpensive. you can place them in areas wherever you want. menards may still sell a motion sensing light that you can hookup to an outside source and with this kit there is a separate plug in piece that you can put anywhere in your house and plug things into it.when the motion sensor is trippped,whatever you have plugged in to the separate piece will turn on. the nice thing about this is you do not have to have the light in the external motion sensor itself and the internal connection still works by doing it this way if the internal piece is activated the would be robber will not even know that he tripped it,you can add up to 4 internal sensors on the 1 outside motion sensor.also all you have to do, other than wiring the external fixture is simply plug the internal piece in-thats all. the only bad thing is if you want additional inside alarms,they are not sold separate, so you have to buy the whole kit for each additional inside alarm.i think they are about $40.00 a piece. i have two of them on my house and they work great. my neighbor has one that he has hooked up to a an external loud speaker, its pretty f***ing loud and when it goes off it emits a siren noise. i will definately be enough to draw some attention. you may also want to contact a security company and see if you can get an evaluation and some tips to make your home less penetrable

Camera security systems for home?

I'm looking for the least expsenpive camera system that records activities inside and out. I've tried X10 not good enough.

Answer
Look into CCTV systems, nowadays these come with hard drive recorders with motion detection built in (it only records when the picture changes) and will record from multiple cameras simultaneously.

I am looking for an home security camera sytem that I could link with my tv on it's own channel.

Any suggestions?

Answer
You can do this a couple of different ways:

Method 1) Wireless cameras, transmitting to a Receiver. From the receiver run the signal into a modulator, which will output the video as an actual TV channel. You'd need to add the signal onto your video network using a splitter/combiner.

Method 2) Wireless cameras and receiver, and connect the output from the receiver to an unused video input on your TV. View the cameras by selecting the correct input using your TV remote. This is cheaper and simpler than Method 1.

Keep in mind that the first method using modulation can have problems. The quality of the pictures may be poor, due to interference from nearby channels on your TV network.

The second method is almost foolproof, since you're using the "raw" signal straight out of the receiver.

Good luck!

Can you recommend a great home security camera system?

Bgirl9488

I would like to be able to hook it up to my computer system through my wireless network. Anything affordable out there?

Answer
"Affordable" means different things to different people.

All the IP or Network cameras will do what you want - remember, wireless is not totally accurate. The camera still needs a wire for power.

Do you need color? Night vision? How far does the night vision need to be?

Because the cams are on your LAN, they get assigned an IP address and you get to them through a browser on your computer. There is no "system" - it just depends if you want the computer to record the camera activities. IP cameras are typically more expensive than the analog cameras.

Another method is to get the wireless 2.4 GHz analog cameras and feed the video into a multi-channel DVR like
http://shop1.frys.com/search?cat=-45940&pType=pDisplay
Since the DVR would get assigned an IP address, then you access the DVR - not the individual cameras. Some of the DVRs require you to buy a hard drive, too - 250 gig or 500 gig HDDs are pretty cheap...

COLNHAUSEN

I want to install a Home Security Camera System. I don't want to buy a prepackaged kit because I want to invest in better camera's. What will it take for me to build a system if I buy a used monitor and CPU and new camera's? I don't know what else is needed to create my system.

Answer
You will require drill , mounting bracket & Camera for installation.

First you will have to take decision about the proper position of Camera. Then you have make mark on the wall. You will have to drill the holes & fit the mounting bracket. Connect the wires from camera to monitor. Check the power supply with tester and give power to Camera.Position the camera so that it faces the proper area. Check the overall operation.

Install a home security camera?

I already have an alarm system at home. Should I still install a home security camera?

Answer
Yes, this is a great deterrence. The crook is more likely to pass you by and hit a less well defended home, just like a bonehead will look for an unlocked car to hot wire.

Also, if the camera is hooked up to a recording device, you stand a good chance of catching and convicting a burglar if a break-in does happen.

This link will explain your options.
