Home security cameras systems are relatively easy to install and usually, it’s not necessary to have a contract with a security company which charges you a monthly fee to have everything up and running.
In this article, I explain the basic differences between home security systems so you can better understand and choose the right one for you.
Indoor or outdoor installation?
The security cameras can be installed inside your house to monitor any indoor activity or they can protect the outdoor areas such as your front door, backyard and entry points that can lead into your house.
When choosing the type of cameras you must consider if they need to have weather protection and purchase the ones with the appropriate ingress protection rating which avoid water and dust get into the device
Before purchasing a security camera just look for the IP rate information, there’s a universal standard that tells you how good is the protection as follow:
IP65 – This means your camera is water-resistant but it’s not recommended to have it in an outdoor installation where it can be exposed to the rain. You can install the camera indoor or on areas with not direct rain.
IP66 – This means your camera is protected against heavy seas or powerful jets of water and also against dust. This type of protection is enough for outdoor installation, so make sure you have it in your security camera kit.
You need to look for such information in your security camera kit. Sometimes it’s not possible to find such IP rating information in the camera box or manual, so look for the outdoor installation indication or ask the vendor about the ingress protection.
IP security camera
The picture shows an IP camera using a UTP cable to send signals to a Network Video Recorder (NVR), there’s no need for signals conversion since the IP camera already generates digital signal. There’s also a power supply for the camera.
It’s also possible to have the IP camera recording into a micro SD card or directly to a server on the Internet (cloud recording), all depends on the security camera model you are purchasing.
Wired or wireless security camera system?
When purchasing IP security cameras it’s possible to choose a wired or wireless systems, in the previous examples you saw some of the wired ones with and without the option PoE standard. Now let’s take a look at a wireless system.
This is an example of a wireless security camera system that can record in the cloud. This type of system is very easy to install and setup.
