It is typical to believe that having one camera that covers an entire room is all you need to keep your business or home secure, but is that true? What if the area you want to cover is a lobby, a large office space, or even your front porch, will one camera be enough to see what happened in the event of a burglary? Let’s take a look at what all you need to look for in a surveillance system.

A surveillance system does no good if you aren’t able to know what is going on at all times. Integrating your locks and lighting, accessing your cameras and controlling your smart home from your fingertips is the best way to have a safe and secure home. So, integrate your locks for an effective home security.
Do you have the right cameras?
No single camera application is the same and it is important to know what you need from each of your cameras. Ask yourself a few questions to get started. Will the cameras be inside or outside? Will it be used more during the day or at night? Do your cameras need built in illumination? What focal length do you need. The use of the right cameras is essential to have a good surveillance system.
