Security cameras can be very beneficial and worth having, both inside and outside of a property. If you are thinking about having a camera installed, either internally or externally, hopefully you will find this information to be useful. We will point out ways to determine the type of camera (either internal or external) that might meet your needs. It is a good idea to consider how the camera will be used – what is the goal? Is the goal to have evidence if someone unwanted enters your property? Is the intention to be able to have a set of eyes on your toddler when they are playing in their bedroom? Knowing how the camera will be used is the first step when looking into internal and external cameras. As a mobile locksmith team, we are capable of installing internal and external cameras (-).
Let’s start with external camera benefits. Having an external camera means that you have cameras recording outside of your home or business property. This would give you eyes on the people trying to enter your property, coming to your front door, or just walking around. If you ever experience a break-in or attempted break-in, this can allow you to get a closer look at the person trying to get inside.
An external camera can provide video evidence if someone does something that they should not do on your property. In addition to the benefit of video evidence, having an external camera can mean keeping track of who comes in and out. If you have a teenager you suspect of sneaking out, having an external camera can certainly help to keep them safe!
What are other benefits of external cameras? Keeping track of those who come in and out, having video evidence…in addition to these points, you can see who is knocking on your door. Maybe you do not have a peephole, or maybe for some reason a person came around to another door on your property, where you cannot see them through a peephole. If you have a commercial property, maybe you have inventory delivered regularly. Having an external camera can allow you to see who is trying to get inside.
In addition to these points, a camera on the outside of your property might serve as a theft deterrent. Why would this be the case? The idea is that a person would notice the camera and realize they are being recorded. This would hopefully make them less inclined to break in or steal.
To summarize, benefits of external cameras include:
1.) You have video evidence of what happens at your property.
2.) You have another set of eyes on the outside of your property.
3.) You can keep track of who is coming in and out.
4.) You can see who is trying to get inside or coming to your door.
5.) An external camera might help to deter theft, if a person realizes they are being recorded.
Now that we have discussed the benefits of external cameras, we will dive into benefits of internal cameras.
You might be looking into internal cameras because you have small children at home. Sometimes, you just might need to step out of the room, but you want to make sure they are safe. Having a camera in a bedroom can mean being able to see your baby in their nursery, while you are trying to put dishes away in the next room. Perhaps you are trying to teach your child to play nicely with another child, and you want to step away so they do not realize you are there, meanwhile, you are watching from the next room. Internal cameras can be beneficial when you have small children at home.
Internal cameras might also serve as a theft deterrent, both for commercial and residential properties. In a business, you can have eyes on employees while they are working on a cash register, for instance. At home, if you have a contractor or babysitter come in, you can keep your eyes on them even if you are not there. Knowing that a camera is on a person might make them less likely to steal or do something that they should not be doing.
Sometimes, there are insurance benefits to having an internal camera. For a business, there might be a tax deduction as well. Again, this is something to investigate.
To summarize, an internal camera can offer benefits because…
1.) You can have eyes on small children at home.
2.) You can have eyes on people you do not know very well, like contractors or a babysitter.
3.) An internal camera might act as a theft deterrent.
4.) There could be insurance benefits to having an internal camera.
