Video surveillance

Video surveillance is a broad field and can be roughly divided into three categories: pure deterrence, live monitoring, and recording. Of course, you always get the most benefit from surveillance with recording, but this is also the most expensive variant. Therefore, you should keep an eye on the price-performance ratio. High-resolution surveillance running from multiple angles with a storage period of two weeks is excellent, but if it is only used to monitor an allotment garden shed, the price is definitely too high.

Video Surveillance for Deterrence

In addition to cameras that actually film or record, the deterrence category also includes dummy cameras. Of course, these dummies do not help find out who committed a burglary, but if you simply want to prevent opportunistic thieves from attempting a break-in, such a dummy is just the right thing. It is best to position these cameras so that they visually cover a potential point of attack and are easily visible from the outside. You can now also mount a second dummy in such a way that both dummies have each other in their field of vision. This could prevent potential intruders from quickly destroying one dummy in order to work unhindered.

Live Video Surveillance

With pure live monitoring, the camera films everything in its field of vision but does not save the footage. This type of surveillance is useful if you want to save money but still want to monitor a specific area. This could be a camera in the garage that you can access yourself via a monitor, or an entire camera system for a security guard. The guard then keeps an eye on the warehouses via the various cameras, for example. This does not necessarily have to be about burglary prevention; it can also be used as a safety system. A frequently occurring system in this area is the baby monitor. Parents can always use the monitor to check on the baby in the other room and make sure that everything is fine. Recording is not necessary in this case; only live monitoring is needed.

Video Recording

Recording cameras are primarily found in commercial premises and with a few, usually wealthy, private individuals. The cameras record everything, regardless of whether you are monitoring it or not. This is helpful if you want to trace what happened during a break-in, and the video material is also useful as proof for the insurance company. The cameras usually run all the time, but it is also possible to have the system record only at specific times. Supposing you are monitoring a facility with attractions for children, the risk of it being broken into at night is rather low. However, if an accident occurs, video material is important to prove negligence on the part of the parents, for example. In this case, it would make sense to run the cameras only during opening hours.

One cost factor for recording surveillance is storage space. Enormous amounts of data can accumulate here, which require corresponding storage space. If you want to play it safe, you can also have a backup copy made in case a data carrier fails. The higher the resolution of the cameras, the larger the required storage space. The frames per second also play a major role here. Inferior cameras not only film in a poor resolution where you can easily count the pixels, but they also film with only a few frames per second. This saves an enormous amount of storage space, but the camera then often fails its purpose. What use is a surveillance system if unmasked burglars cannot be searched for because the recorded images are so blurry that anyone could be the burglar caught on camera?
