Why Do I Need Security Cameras in Markham

Video surveillance allows you to keep tabs on your property from almost anywhere in the world, thanks to streaming video over the internet. Many insurance companies offer a discount on your premiums if you have a surveillance camera system. If you have security cameras at your business, it can reduce theft and help you monitor work activity while you're away.

Choosing the Right Security Camera in Markham for Your Needs

If you're interested in protecting your business, you'll want to make sure you get the right security camera for your needs. There are several types of security cameras to choose from, each with their own benefits.

• Infrared (IR) security cameras: These cameras offer high resolution colour video during the day, perfect for low light conditions. They can illuminate dark areas by switching from colour to black and white, they're great indoors or outdoors and they can be weatherproofed.
• Bullet cameras: These are the most common security cameras. They are, cylindrical and can resemble a tube of lipstick or a soda can. These are great if you know exactly where you want camera coverage; they can be wall or ceiling mounted and left to do their job.
• Dome cameras: These cameras are ceiling-mounted and come in a variety of formats including IR, indoor, outdoor, vandal proof and "pan title zoom" controllable. They have clear colour and high resolution as well.
• Pro box cameras: These are most commonly found in banks, supermarkets and convenience stores. They have interchangeable lenses based on viewing angle and zoom. They offer day and night options which allow for colour film in the day and black and white at night, and they allow vision in complete darkness.
• Live streaming cameras: These cameras are ideal for remote, unmanned monitoring. They can sit on a piece of furniture, and are designed to feed a signal directly to a computer or mobile device for live viewing. Some can also pan, tilt and scan by remote control.
• Hidden cameras: Hidden cameras help you monitor an area without potential thieves knowing, which can be helpful with recurring problems at your restaurant or office. These cameras are designed to look like something else, such as a smoke detector, so no one knows you're watching.
• Wireless cameras: Wireless cameras have become very popular, as they are easily integrated into existing automation systems, and many offer you extra control through apps and online viewing.

When choosing a security camera for your Markham business, you'll want to consider the level of image resolution you'll be getting and the viewing angle of the lens. If you know exactly where you want the camera to be looking, a bullet camera or a live streaming camera are perfect, but if you'll be wanting several views from one camera then you'll want to consider dome cameras and "pan tilt zoom" cameras that can be adjusted.

One of the most important features you'll want in your home security camera is night vision as many crimes happen after dark. Motion detection is another feature that is very helpful, but not all security cameras come with this feature.
