Are You Buying A Home Security Camera San Antonio?

By Susan Lewis


Technology has come a very long way. There are new advancements every day. Features of safety devices that were previously reserved for the luxury brands are now standard. These advancements while laudable have also made purchase decisions more difficult. Buying home security camera San Antonio is more complicated now. A lot more questions are asked in the decision making process.

The purpose of course is safety for the home and residents. However this can be narrowed down further. Find out what is outlined under there and decide what the purpose is. This will really help guide all the other decisions one has to make. For example, will the device be stationary or can one rotate it? How will it be rotated? How about motion sensors? Is this an important feature? Or is it unnecessary?

Since most devices today are accessible through apps. One might find that the app only works on the phone and not on the computer or tab. One should decide if this is something they could contend with or not. Then think about the resolution; should the images be grainy and barely detailed or with great resolution and capability to zoom in? Where should the footage be stored? There are many options for this.

How much is it? Does the cost include installation? Is it possible to DIY the installation part? Is there a cheaper option with the exact same features? What are the demerits of the cheaper option? The cheaper option, while available, is not always the best way forward. What style is best? Does the desired style also auger with the other features and purpose of the device?

When a device is placed outside, it will be exposed to heat, moisture, dust and all sorts of things. There will even be risk of damage from human aggression. While the last one is difficult to withstand, all the others can be dealt with. Indoor devices are built with less of these capabilities. Therefore they would not be ideal for outdoor use.

How one device covers a particular field is very technical. Here is the low down; smaller lenses have wider ranges as far as field coverage goes. Larger lenses cover smaller areas but the images are more focused and detailed. What is more important? Of consideration is also how far the device is placed from the desired field.

What happens at night? How will the device catch activity at night? Will the usual safety lights suffice? This is where one makes a decision on the night vision. Should one get a specialized night vision device? Or should one get a device with only the standard night vision feature? Maybe night vision is not required at all.

One can get a small device that will be placed in a nondescript corner where no one will ever spot it. Some just like the idea of not exposing their assets. One can also get a huge device that will be placed well in the vicinity. Others like to announce their strengths. To let people know that they are being watched. It is all up to personal preference.
