Security Outside vs. Security Inside
When deciding to install a home security system , you may be wondering whether to install it outside (covering your yard or property), inside the home or both. Which can be more useful in the event of a break-in, theft, or burglary? Is outside surveillance more important or is inside surveillance more useful?
A home security system will be your eyes and ears when you are not at home. It can help protect your home and property from criminal elements. Sometimes video cameras alone are deterrents enough to keep unsavory characters from entering your home if they know that the home is fully covered with a surveillance system. More importantly, in the event of a break-in, if you have a monitored security system, your local law enforcement agency is notified immediately, keeping you, your family and belongings safe from harm’s way.
At ATP Alarms we can help you decide what is needed, and our consultation is free. When deciding where to install your home security system , outside or inside, it is wise to remember that the more area of your home and property that is covered, the safer it will be for you and your family. Having security cameras that cover the yard or entire property outside will be a signal to potential troublemakers that your home is being watched and in most cases will even prevent burglars from targeting your residence in the first place.
Most outside home security systems have infra-red detection to monitor unusual night-time activity. However, a large number of break-ins happen during the daytime, when burglars know that people will be out of their homes for work or other purposes. At times like this, having a home security system installed inside your house will record and catch them on camera. Additional, if motion sensors are triggered while your home alarm is activated, ATP will alert your local law enforcement authorities in the event of any unwanted guests or suspicious activities.
What are the different types of cameras available for home surveillance and security purposes?
When choosing security cameras for home surveillance , both inside and outside, it is smart to choose cameras that work in a wide range of light conditions. There are cameras that work in both daytime and night-time as well as cameras that are sensitive to brightness in a really broad spectrum. If you want night-time activities detected and monitored, then infra-red cameras are your best choice.
Should you choose a visible camera or a hidden one?
You will also need to decide between choosing cameras that are visible versus those that are hidden. When choosing cameras for the yard or property, it may be smarter to install ones which are clearly visible to passersby. This will impact the decision of most burglars, helping to preventing them from attempting a break-in when security cameras are obvious from the yard or street. They will most likely assume that if there are cameras outside, there would be cameras inside too, and decide that the risk is not worth it!
