A Guide To Use When Buying IP Cameras San Antonio

By Jeffrey Brooks


It is no secret that every homeowner would like to feel safe in his property. If there is one thing that makes homeowners jittery, it is the thought of falling victim to burglary. Before the advent of modern technology, all that a homeowner had to rely on for security was fencing, at least besides having dogs. Today, products such as IP cameras San Antonio have brought about an increased sense of safety.

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.

The other type is the bullet camera. It is cylindrically shaped and has a stationery fixture. It is the cheapest surveillance camera with internet connectivity in the market. Its range is also limited. As such, one ought to buy several of them to cover all the areas of his property that need surveillance. Homeowners prefer placing them on entrance areas such as gates and front doors.

The last option is the dome camera. It is different from the bullet type, in that it features a wider coverage area. Furthermore, it can shift from one surveillance position to another repeatedly. It is pricier than the latter option. Its wide coverage area means you need not install many of them in one location.

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.

Storage capacity is an important factor to consider too. If you purchase a device that records high definition images, its storage capacity should be able to support the large size of its recordings. Whenever its memory gets exhausted, you may have to delete old footage.

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