Homeowners today are very busy, and unfortunately that means that we may spend a lot more time away from home than we ever did in the past.
Time away can put us out of touch with what is happening at our home or with our family.
More and more working parents today are turning to technology to help them reconnect with their home and family, and give them a sense of peace of mind that their family is safe and their home is protected.
Home camera systems allow homeowners this capability, by delivering excellent quality video recording as well as remote viewing from PDA phones, iPhones, Android phones, tablets, computers and more.
With security cameras in place, it affords working parents to check in and see if their children are home and behaving, monitor the babysitter or nanny, watch for deliveries to arrive, contractors to complete repairs.
Home security camera systems have made many advancements over the years, evolving with new features and capabilities, which all make the process of watching your home even easier for homeowners today.
Home security camera systems come in many different shapes and varieties, ranging in features, quality and price depending on the system type and design.
Popular systems can be broken up into two different categories: Traditional CCTV camera systems and High Definition IP Security Cameras.
The traditional CCTV cameras provide great flexibility for homeowners, because they are a mature technology, and can be concealed inside many different everyday items for covert/hidden style cameras which are less obvious indoor.
Just because a camera is not an IP camera, it does not mean that the camera cannot be viewed over the internet though.
Even these systems allow for remote viewing in many cases from phones and laptops.
These traditional home security camera systems offer an affordable option that can be used in most homes.
High definition IP cameras are another option for home security.
These newer cameras record at a higher resolution that ranges from 7 to 25 times the resolution of traditional CCTV security cameras.
These newer cameras are also easier to install, requiring only a single CAT-5 cable per camera, instead of bulky coaxial cable in the case of older security cameras.
Each IP camera has a built-in video processor and network card, to send the video directly over the network.
With high definition cameras, you can see a lot more of what happens with less cameras in and around your home due to the increase in quality.
With HD IP cameras, you can even zoom in on the video both live and after the fact, to see what is happening.
These camera systems will record onto a PC in your home with NVR (Network Video Recorder) software, turning your computer into a powerful security camera system with motion detection.
The NVR software that is chosen is what will determine the features and remote functionality that you can enjoy from an iPhone, Android Phone, BlackBerry phone or other tablet of computer.
