Benefits of a Home CCTV System
Improved Home Security
CCTV cameras installed around, and even in, your home will significantly improve your level of home security. Not only will you be able to catch any suspicious activity on camera, that can then be shown to the police, but you can also cover more vulnerable areas of your property with video surveillance, such as side alleys, thus making your home more secure.
Deter Criminal Activity
By installing a CCTV system at your home, you will be deterring criminal activity and reducing your chances of becoming a victim. Burglars don’t want to draw attention to themselves and most definitely not be caught on camera. Therefore, they will be deterred away from your property if they see CCTV cameras installed and will seek out a new, easier target.
Bring Criminals to Justice
The ability to capture and store video footage with a home CCTV system is beneficial in helping bring criminals to justice. The footage can help identify criminals and can be used by the police as evidence.
View Footage & Manage System Remotely
The majority of CCTV systems will allow you to access the live footage and control the system remotely, from anywhere in the world. This provides you with great control and the ability to check in on your property at any time, great if you are at work or on holiday.
Check in on Family & Pets
Home CCTV systems also allow you to check in on your family and pets if you wish! Many homeowners use their cameras to make sure their pets are okay and not causing damage to their homes whilst they are out of the house. In addition, using a CCTV system to check in on vulnerable family members can be both a safety feature and provide peace of mind.
Reduce Insurance Premiums
Having a home CCTV system installed may reduce your insurance premiums and lead to being more cost-effective long-term. Insurance companies class your property as a lower risk of theft and burglary due to having video surveillance in place and therefore may reduce your premiums. Speak to your insurance provider to see how much you could save!
