How do you get a job doing surveillance?

Home surveillance security camera advice, suggestions, help please!?

  • Good Morning, We need some really good advice on surveillance cameras for our home. Our back fence is along a bayou and we need cameras in case the uninvited get ideas. We have a 2 story house so am thinking we can get a good range of area. We are totally naive to this kind of thing and just have no idea what to look for. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. My husband and I both have iPhones so we are looking for a system that we can some how pull up the camera view when we are away on our phones. Below is what we are interested and are looking for: - Color instead of black & white - Only really need 4 cameras - I just got laid off from my job so we are looking for something economical and not to expensive but also we are wanting good quality - something easy as neither of us are very computer literate or technologically smart!! - be able to monitor from our iPhone's questions..... - What is easier wireless or ones with wires/cables? - If wireless there is a lot of high winds with where we live will this matter? - we need a DVR to record correct? - any recommendations on a brand? or where to buy that is the best? Sorry I am kind of all over the place with this and am trying to gather my thoughts. Any advice would be appreciated! Thank you

If you're worried about uninvited guests you could also try a home security system. Many are wireless, easy to install, and cost effective. Personally, I'd recommend LifeShield since they also offer wireless in home cameras. http://www.lifeshield.com/home-security-products/lifeshield-products-addons/cameras/ With the free mobile apps you'll receive notifications right to your phone during an alarm event and have the ability to view footage from your cameras.

- What is easier wireless or ones with wires/cables? Its not really a question of ease, as it is cost. Wireless cameras are going to be more expensive and because they aren't hardwired to a DVR they may experience interference. Wired cameras generally have 2 wires, one for power and one for video, and if you get Siamese cables, its all in one. For wireless cameras, you still need a power cable. - If wireless there is a lot of high winds with where we live will this matter? Just make sure you go with cameras that attach securely to your home. You also want to go with an outdoor camera, and you may even look into housing for the cameras to further protect them from the elements. - we need a DVR to record correct? Yes, you should always have a DVR, otherwise you can't really go back and watch what your camera has recorded. - any recommendations on a brand? or where to buy that is the best? I recommend this package: http://www.apexcctv.com/p-1006-4-camera-complete-security-system.aspx It's got 4 color cameras, and they can see at night. The DVR, power and video cables are all included, plus you can sync it up with your iPhones. Its a great package for a home security system.
