If you are considering installing a video surveillance system in your Lubbock TX home or business, you need to carefully evaluate available options to determine which if any are right for you.  It can be overwhelming when it comes to evaluating all of the options and you can easily get caught up in the process.  Don’t spend large amounts of your hard earned money on features you don’t need. In many cases all you need is a basic video surveillance system that allows you to remotely monitor the activities at your property.  There are two important options that you should consider. The first option you need to evaluate is the type, number and location of the security cameras you install.  The second important option that can be crucial to your system is method you will capture and monitor the video feed from your system.

Type, number and location of security cameras

Your video surveillance system and the security cameras employed with that system literally become you eyes and ears for what is going on around your Lubbock TX property, especially when you are not there. Security cameras are available with a number of options and upgrades that can enhance the quality and clarity of what you can see. Video quality is perhaps the most important factor to consider when choosing the security cameras for your video surveillance system. In most cases, you are not going to be actively monitoring the surveillance camera. Night vision can be another critical factor if some areas of your property lack or simply cannot be adequately lite. Intruders frequently rely on the cover of darkness to conceal their entry and activities.

The size of your Lubbock TX property, the number of entry locations, the number of poorly lite or hidden locations around your property collectively dictate how many security cameras will be needed to ensure complete coverage.

Having some of your security cameras visible from outside your Lubbock TX property will help deter most potential intruders.  Hidden security cameras will provide crucial backup when determined criminals access your property thinking they can simply avoid detection by visible cameras.

Monitoring and recording video feed

Older video surveillance systems relied on a VCR to record your security camera video feed,  Today DVRs are the standard for this task.  With modern wireless security cameras, the video feed is wirelessly connected to the recording device thus ensuring potential intruders cannot interrupt the feed by cutting wires.  Battery backups ensure continued operation of the security cameras even if power is lost. If you need several security cameras, you may need to employ multiple recording devices to ensure the feed from all of your security cameras are being captured.

Video feed that is not being watched or monitored is not the most effective tool.  While you can remotely monitor the video feed from you Lubbock TX system using any smart device, continuous monitoring ensures a rapid response to any unusual, unsafe or unauthorized activity on your property.
