Security Cameras
In recent times, security cameras have become important components of the security system in our homes and offices.

Some important features of security cameras
Below are some of the important features to take into account when comparing security cameras.
Movement
A camera that can pan or tilt to about 180o will be able to cover and record a larger area than a motionless camera. This therefore, reduces the total number of security cameras required to be installed in a particular area.
Motion Detection
Whenever a security camera with motion detection feature observes any motion within its field of view, it sends you notifications. These notifications can alert you of any suspicious activity so that you can monitor the situation.
Field of View
The degree of angle which a security camera can record is referred to Field of View. It is important to know the field of view of security cameras because it will help you to know the number of cameras you’ll need and the position that it should be placed.
Sound
The sound feature enables security cameras to receive sound through a microphone and give out sound through a speaker, or both. Cameras with both can be use as intercoms.
Cost
One important factor for every purchasing decision is cost. The purpose will be defeated if a security camera cost so much that you can’t afford other valuables you’re trying to protect with it.
Resolution
The resolution of security cameras defines how sharp the image from your camera will be. A sharp visible image will be very useful when trying to identify faces or items in the images the camera has recorded.
