Home Security Camera San Antonio: Pertinent Purchase Questions

By Susan Lewis


A few years ago, security systems were very pedestrian. Not according to the standards of that time though. Now technology has really advanced. There is so much to choose from. One of the biggest hurdles when buying a home security camera San Antonio is not having the desired features and capabilities zeroed down. There will be a real problem then as one will be mind boggled by the horde of options.

Like what is the exact purpose of this device? Will the purpose require motion sensing capabilities? Will the device only come alive when the motion sensor is triggered? Will the system alert the home owner when the motion sensor is triggered? Will the device be stationary? If not, how will it be rotated? Can it be rotated remotely on the app or does one have to be close?

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.

Night vision enables the device to still record actionable images at night or hen the lighting is very bad. Most devices nowadays are fitted with this capability. The feature is only standard in these devices. However one can still get a specialized device with better night vision abilities.

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.
