Are you considering installing or upgrading security cameras for your Savannah home to supplement your security system? These days, a traditional security system may not be sufficient to provide the peace of mind you want in regard to your home security system. Incorporating home security cameras into your security system provides an added layer of protection for your home and loved ones.

There are several types of cameras on the market, all of which can be included in your SafeTouch system:

The basics: traditional home security cameras

Cost-effective and reliable, traditional home security cameras are mounted in a fixed position and provide footage in either color or black and white, depending on the model you select.

• These cameras are available in both indoor and outdoor models, so you can ensure that your camera will stand up to the elements if necessary.
• Fixed cameras can provide pictures in high definition images at a more reasonable price than other home security camera styles.
• Traditional fixed cameras in a dome encasement allow for a wider vantage point, allowing a single camera to survey a much larger area than traditional cameras.

More options: IR and IP cameras

A more advanced option for your home security system is an IR or IP camera. While the cost of these models is higher than that of traditional home security cameras, the capabilities are more advanced and specialized.

• IR (infrared) home security cameras are the home security camera version of “night vision.” These cameras provide black and white footage in almost any lighting condition.
• IP cameras can transmit images through an internet connection, allowing for a wireless setup and access to the footage over a much greater range.

The ultimate in home security: PTZ cameras

Pan, tilt, and zoom cameras, or PTZ home security cameras, can be aimed in any direction. They are mounted in a way that allows them to be manipulated in a variety of directions.

• PTZ cameras allow the operator of a home security system to follow a person or animal as they move across the vantage point, increasing the range of surveillance from a single camera.
• Additionally, PTZ home security cameras can be set on a scanning mode to constantly pan over a certain area.
