Security Alarm Systems

Of the many advances in security alarm systems over the years, surveillance cameras may be the most important. For home and business owners who live on the Sunshine Coast, protecting what you have starts by having eyes on the inside and outside of your residence, office, or facility.

Thanks to the development of digital technology, installing surveillance cameras is now easier than ever. These systems are best installed by a qualified licenced technician who will also be able to offer a maintenance program.

Surveillance Cameras

Also called CCTV cameras, surveillance cameras can be set up in one location and transmit their signal to another. This means that you can monitor what the camera is seeing through IP networks.

Using the proper camera system, you have access to the many security advantages that they offer for your home or business.

Pros for a Security System

Deter Intrusion:
This is the most positive benefit that any security camera system offers for your home or business. The very sight of the cameras is often enough to deter all but the most determined criminals. This makes your property far less desirable to enter. Which means that criminals will often go for another, easier target.

Observation:
As long as there is a nearby power source, you can place the cameras anywhere you want. With this installed you can observe locations that not only provide access to your home or office, but also monitor the people who work or visit inside. This provides you with the ability to react when something wrong occurs.

Evidence:
One big reason why surveillance cameras are such a deterrent is that they record the activity that happens in front of their lens. With audio capabilities as well, evidence is collected that can help prosecutors in charging criminals when they commit a crime inside your property.

Cons for a Security System

Cost:
Even cheap camera systems must be installed properly which costs you money. Considering that a dummy camera is just as effective in deterring crime, you may be paying a lot more for the same result.

Privacy:
Many employees and even family members can feel that their privacy is being intruded upon when surveillance cameras are present. This may create a less pleasant atmosphere inside which affects productivity and morale.

Vulnerable:
Criminals are keeping up with the technology and the best understand how it works. This means they may be able to tell dummy cameras from real ones and cut off power sources so they can enter unobserved into your property.
