| Why These Cameras & Not Others
We asked the very same question. When searching, we wanted ease
of installation, good picture and ability to record off premises for
security purposes. In short, we spent a lot of time investigating the
best features, so that you
don't have to. Being in the security business for over 25
years, we were also seeking cameras that would serve or assist protection and
surveillance, as well as simply relaying general information.
Here's what we found: At first glance, some cameras looked far more
impressive. Bullet shaped, with hoods to shade the light and loads
of infra-red lights for night use and of course all weather cams for
outdoor use. As it happens, our cams can be purchased in all of
the configurations for indoor and outdoor use and for a fraction of the
price that you would pay for cameras that are labeled high end but which
may not do anything more for you than these will.
Ask yourself what you want the camera to do and remember that you can
place cams in windows looking outdoors, in which case you can sometimes
not be required to have outdoor cams. In our quality test against
a bullet cam by a well known competitor, our cams were better in
virtually all respects. When sunlight hit the
lens of the bullet cam, it just couldn't cope with the light and you
couldn't see anything because it was blinded by simple sunlight. The bullet cam did work
in total
darkness even there the picture was not as clear as ours. Our
cams handle light automatically and give nice pictures in daylight and
in total darkness. It should of course be understood that the
range is limited to about twenty feet of total darkness but that any
sources of light or reflection will show up quite brightly.
Another fact that you should know is that IP cams operate
differently from cams that are connected to recorders by wire. You
will need an AC power source to plug into but the signal is sent wirelessly
to your WI-FI from there so that it can viewed live from anywhere or
sent as an alert via email.
If you don't have and won't be getting WI-FI, these cams aren't for
you. However, with WI-FI your movie clip or picture is stored on a
central data base, so once an intruder is seen by a cam, he cannot steal
or destroy the pictures or movie clip.
There is of course a reasonable annual fee, as we
provide a service but when you see this service in
operation, there is no denying that this is high tech and now available to the common man. If the cams don't look
impressive, not to worry, the pictures and movie clips are superb.
I'm telling you this because most people tend to try and judge the
quality of the camera by it's outside appearance, whereas the quality
really lies in the end result, the picture. We only sell equipment
that we have tried and tested and that we purchase for ourselves, so if
you buy from us we know that you will be pleased and satisfied with you
purchase.
