If you need to keep an eye on things in your home, either while you're away or simply busy in the other room, a surveillance camera can help. The choices on the market can be overwhelming, so getting an idea about the most popular kinds, such as their advantages and drawbacks, is important. The following are the top five brands based on recent online sales history.
Panasonic is one of the top selling brands, and has several options. One of the well-liked cameras' benefits include the ability to place it nearly anywhere since its wireless, and you can control it using the Internet or even a PDA. You can get messages on your phone or by email to alert you when someone passes by it. You can view the images online at a website that you create. One downside includes learning how to control it remotely, which can be complicated.
Levana is another popular brand, especially when it comes to wireless cameras with night lights, perfect for checking on your baby in the next room. Since it's small and wireless, it is quite portable, and it even plays lullabies. However, some users have found the video quality to be subpar, and it tends to freeze often.
Q-See also makes cameras, many of which have a Sony image sensor, and one weatherproof surveillance camera with night vision is perfect for the outdoors. It comes with a long cord that you can connect nearly anywhere, and you can view the images on your TV. Some users find that the resolution is quite low, and that the picture seems washed out.
Cisco makes one product in particular that features 2-way audio. It can send images to the user via Internet, and works well in low light. However, complaints are that it doesn't work well with Windows Vista, and setup can be difficult.
Lorex makes a digital portable wireless system that shows images in color. It can connect with any TV or VCR using a cable, and it includes night vision and audio. Some disadvantages are that the range is not great, and the sound is muted when there are no noises. When it does pick up sounds, the sudden noise can scare those near the system.
If you need a surveillance camera for your home, there are plenty of brands to choose from. You can select a system from one of the top brands, or you can simply read reviews on myriad cameras. Either way, researching first can help you save time and money.
