Ideal for at work or in the home, security surveillance systems are a way in which you can monitor your work place or home, via the internet and surveillance cameras, 24 hours a day.

When used in the work place, both theft and vandalism can be kept to a minimum and for families that spend long amounts of time away from home, surveillance systems can give you peace of mind that your home is safe and sound.

To set up a home surveillance system you will first need a home computer or laptop system and many people invest in a new computer to use specifically for their surveillance system. Make sure your computer is password protected to avoid hackers snooping into your system and disabling the software.

To enable you to watch the surveillance through the internet you will also need to invest in a digital video recorder which will send the images to the internet.

Depending largely on its required location and performance, prices of cameras can vary quite substantially and it is worth shopping round.

If night time surveillance is needed, then you will also need to invest in an infrared light which can catch night time images, either in dark rooms or outside. Nowadays, more aesthetically pleasing cameras are available, which can be placed outside your home and are more concealable than a traditional camera.

Remember that costs vary when buying a camera, but it is wise not to cut costs too much, as the quality of your images is very important. Intruders will not be caught if the images are blurred and distorted.

There are many software packages available including phone and email alerts when an intruder is detected in the home or work place. These can be easily added to your system or a pre-made surveillance pack can be bought instead.

Once you have your surveillance system, ensure it is fitted correctly by an expert and once installed run routine, weekly checks to ensure the system is working correctly.
