Guidelines To Follow When Buying IP Cameras San Antonio

By Jeffrey Brooks


It is safe to say every person would want to feel secure in his home. One aspect that makes many homeowners feel insecure is the possibility of burglary. In the past, homeowners did not have many security options besides fencing their homes. Today, however, one can enjoy an elevated sense of security with products such as IP cameras San Antonio.

An IP camera only differs from a normal surveillance camera in functionality. It is built to support internet connectivity, which is why it is thought of as an IP device. A homeowner who installs it in his property can get live footage of the sections of his home that he wants to monitor, all this regardless of his present location. Internet enabled cameras come in a wide range of shapes. Furthermore, some have features that others lack.

These days, the most popular option in the market is the smart camera. Besides sending real time videos of surveillance via the internet, it is also equipped with a motion sensor. The sensor alerts the homeowner of any movement that is taking place within the proximity of the device. This essentially means you get to know someone is coming even before they reach your doorstep. This option is always the costliest.

Another variant is the bullet camera. Its shape is cylindrical and it can only take a stationery posture after installation. Of all the devices in the market, it is the cheapest. Its range is quite prohibitive too. If you were to monitor numerous sections of your front porch, for instance, you would have to install several of them. The best place to install one would be in an entrance location such as a gate or front door.

The dome camera caps the list. Unlike the bullet variant, this type has a wider coverage range. One of its best features is its ability to rotate around its hinges so as to focus on various areas depending on prevailing circumstances. It is generally known to be costlier as well. Luckily, one need not purchase several of them due to its favorably wide coverage range.

In light of this, one of the core factors to consider when purchasing is field of view. This is the sole aspect that determines how much one is able to see. As stated before, a bullet camera has a limited field of view. If you want to see more than just your front yard or corridor, you might want to go for a device with a wide field of view.

The other thing to think about is storage capacity. If your device of choice captures high resolution images, it should come with enough storage for the large sized images it will have in its cache. One workaround for this is to always delete old videos.

Finally, ensure you research about cost. Advanced devices cost up to $250 whereas simple ones often cost about $30. However, advanced ones are weatherproof.
