Why get a security camera?

You may be wondering why you need a security camera if you're not a bank or retail store. But the real question is, shouldn't you have the right to know what's happening on your property?

A security camera can be useful for a farmer who wants to keep an eye out for pests, a business owner who wants to monitor who comes and goes after hours, or simply someone who wants to know who's trying to enter their home when they're not there.

Whatever your reasons may be, you have the right to know what's happening on your property. A security camera can provide you with that knowledge and peace of mind.

Choosing the right security camera

When it comes to security cameras, there isn't one perfect option for everyone. But, there are many low-quality cameras on the market. To avoid these, it's important to understand the different types of cameras available. When shopping for a security camera, make sure to choose a quality product that will last and provide clear images.

3 main types of security cameras

Professional grade or law enforcement grade cameras
Consumer grade cameras
Junk cameras - which we won't sell. These cameras has all the bells and whistles but won't last long.

There is no one style fits all

When it comes to security cameras, there isn't a one-size-fits-all solution. Consider what features you need specifically:

Image resolution
If you want to be able to see specific details like faces or license plates, look for a camera with HD resolution (720p, 1080p, etc.)
Night vision
If you need to see what's happening in the dark, look for a camera with infrared night vision.
Motion detection
Some cameras only record when motion is detected, which can save battery power and storage space.
Coverage
Consider how large of an area you want to cover and choose a camera with the appropriate lens.
Placement & durability
Think about where you'll be installing the camera and whether you need a wired power source or a battery. Make sure the camera can withstand the elements if it will be used outdoors.

Ultimately, the right security camera for you will depend on your specific needs and what you're trying to accomplish. It's important to consider all the options and features available to find a camera that meets your requirements.
