MONITORED CAMERAS

Monitored Camera Tips ...

  • Don’t attach cameras to gutters, the weight and the exposure to weather is bad for your gutter and your camera
  • Dont put cameras in dark spaces unless the product is equipped with night vision or infrared technology designed to work in low light conditions
  • Place cameras along a wall that offers the widest view of the room
  • For best results, place outdoor cameras in a location that offers some protection from weather
  • Outdoor cameras placed in areas not easily accessible can help prevent tempering

Did You Know?

61% of indoor cameras are set up in the living room, that’s more than in any other room in the house. And since 34% of burglars are coming in through the front door, it is no surprise that 68% of monitoring cameras are located there.

VIDEO DOORBELLS

Video Doorbell Tips ...

  • Select a video doorbell with both cloud and local storage (usually a micro sd card) if one method fails, you have a backup
  • Pick your preference in a night vision feature; either an infrared (black and white footage) or a spotlight to allow for color night vision
  • Determine whether you need a hard-wired or a battery operated system. A battery system is easy to install, however, lots of activity combined with always on monitoring and video capture could use up batteries in a couple of weeks. Conversely, limited activations and select use of video capture will result in a battery life of a 2 months or more
