Home and Outdoor Security Cameras

Home security cameras play a vital role in protecting your property against unauthorised access, and help to identify intruders if an alert is detected. Installing wired or wireless security cameras around your property can help to protect both occupants and belongings. The cameras can be integrated with other components of home security systems, including access control systems and alarms.

Home Security Cameras

Security cameras are equipped with a number of different functionalities. Wi-fi security cameras, for example, enable you to connect a compatible smartphone app to access live feeds and motion alerts. Wired cameras, on the other hand, use low-voltage security cables to stay powered.

Some other home security cameras offer brand-specific functionality, enabling them to integrate with other systems you may already have installed. At 4Cabling, we stock home security cameras from a range of leading brands. Our inventory includes Ubiquiti Unifi and TP-Link VIGI cameras, both of which are highly advanced home security solutions.

Things to Consider When Choosing a Security Camera

When choosing a security camera, it is important to review a number of key specifications that may impact its performance. Items like its resolution, field of view, storage capacity and battery life (for wireless cameras) are all essential to know before committing to a purchase. It can also be beneficial to consider the compatibility of each security camera with smart home systems and the user interface of the phone apps through which you can access live views.

Home Security Cameras: FAQs

What are the most popular types of home security systems?

Each type of home security camera suits the purpose of a different customer. Dome cameras are discreet and can be blended more easily with home decor, while bullet cameras are highly visible, which can help to deter potential intruders. If you cannot run power all over your home, consider installing wireless security cameras to keep it protected.

What’s the difference between a security camera and a surveillance camera?

The differences between a security camera and a surveillance camera mainly relate to their use. Surveillance cameras must be able to record long-term, meaning they are often equipped with large inbuilt storage drives and are almost always hardwired into a particular building. Security cameras are designed to be passive most of the time, until a situation that needs to be monitored in real time is detected.

How can I hide my security cameras outside?

Hiding your outdoor security cameras can reduce the chance of the devices being stolen, especially if they are located a long way from your home. Camouflaging the cameras with existing structure such as ceilings or light fixtures can help to hide the device without obstructing the view. Painting the security camera to match the surrounding finishes can also help make it less visible to passers-by.
