DVR Security Cameras That See In The Dark

In case you did not know, infrared cameras are great alternatives to the more expensive night vision security cameras. Infrared cameras are great if you're thinking of using them as outdoor DVR security cameras for your home security system. To make the most out of your infrared cameras, here are some points to remember.
Focus On Your Property's Entry Points
Since most infrared cameras do not have pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) features, you can maximize its field of vision by placing it in key areas around your property. Driveways, front and back gates, garages, and porches are some examples. To turn infrared cameras into efficient DVR security cameras, make sure that they are always pointing at the right direction to avoid gaps in security.
Go Wireless If You Must
Putting an infrared camera at the mouth your long walkway means that you have to go wireless to prevent exposing any wires or cables to intruders. The good thing about wireless infrared DVR security cameras is that you can easily change camera positions and fields of vision. Predictable camera placement increases the risk of robberies and trespassing, so move your cameras around when you can. Most wireless infrared cameras are battery-operated to counter power outages that could cripple your surveillance systems. Use uninterrupted power supply (UPS) devices as power backups for your computer and DVR.
Hide Your Infrared Cameras
Infrared DVR security cameras would not be so effective if it is too visible, would it? If you are using wireless infrareds, mount them in plastic or metal cases to keep them away from trespassers. This way, it would be easy for you to take the camera out and mount it somewhere else. However, if you are camera placement is fixed, the best way to keep your infrared cameras secure is to screw the casings to the walls of your home. Bolt your cameras in very high places. This way, its field of vision is wider and it would be hard for intruders to tamper with your camera because it is so out of reach. When you protect your cameras, you are also making them weather-proof.
Do A Line-of-sight Check
When your infrared DVR security cameras are in the right place, it is time to evaluate your system's lines of sight and fields of vision. You can ask your friend to walk around your property while you monitor him through your surveillance software. If there are blind spots, attend to it immediately by changing the angles your cameras. Because your infrared cameras may not be able to zoom in on objects, make sure that there are no obstructions, such as trees, to lines of sight and fields of vision.
