How Surveillance Video Systems are sold:
The first thing to consider before you buy a video security or surveillance system is not the equipment, but the provider. Understanding how security systems are sold and installed is the first step in deciding which avenue is the best solution for you.

Understanding the Different Technologies:
The second step is to understanding the basic technologies, their operations and benefits. The technologies range from 20 year old "Analog" to cutting edge "Digital". Your goals and what you want to accomplish will dictate which technology is right for you.

Camera Technologies:
Camera have made huge leaps in technology in the last five years. The variety of cameras available can be staggering and confusing for the consumer. We have simplified the search for the right camera by condensing them into simple easy to understand categories.

Nanny Cameras:
The hidden and wireless camera market has refined technologies which are useful for applications regarding child security and safety. The solutions vary widely and some products are considered more reliable than others. The unreliable 2.4 GHz wireless technology has given way to self-contained camera-recording systems.

DIY Installations:
Of all the electronic security technologies, a basic video surveillance system is the easiest to install. The connections are basic and the system architecture is straightforward. Once you learn the simple "do's & don'ts" of equipment placement you are really over the hard part.
