If the practicality of video surveillance at industrial facilities, crowded places, warehouses, and offices is already well established, the question of home video surveillance remains open for many.
Police assure that in 2018, the number of household thefts (especially in private cottages) has consistently decreased thanks to home video surveillance systems. At the same time, the solvability of such crimes approaches 100%.
The number of apartment burglaries increases during vacation seasons. The end of February is the perfect time to consider installing a home video surveillance camera.
However, apartment burglaries are not the sole reason to finally purchase a camera.
With a video surveillance camera, one can keep an eye on children and their caregivers. If there's a housekeeper or construction workers in your absence, installing a camera will strengthen confidence that you've hired trustworthy individuals and prevent unpleasant situations.
Some users install a camera in their home's parking area to check for available parking spots upon returning from work. Others go as far as setting up video surveillance in the kitchen to watch food preparation while relaxing in the living room. Such setups ensure that nothing goes unnoticed.
Overall, video surveillance isn't just about unpleasant incidents; it captures life and often presents unexpected and pleasant moments.
The idea of constant video recording in your home might be off-putting, and your cat may protest if you actively monitor its movements. Utilize recording settings based on time, using the video surveillance camera only in your absence. There's also an option for alarm-triggered recording, such as motion sensor activation or door opening. If an alert is triggered, you'll receive a notification on your mobile or email. Special mobile applications help monitor your home 24/7 from anywhere in the world.
Some consider home video surveillance a pointless expense, but sales statistics for such systems indicate the opposite.
