How to Choose a Business Security Camera

One of the smartest things you can do for your business is install video surveillance cameras.  Security cameras can help in a variety ways.  Just their presence can scare away potential thieves, because once they see the cameras, they know they are being watched.

Business security cameras can also help you to keep an eye on your employees.  You can’t be at your business 24/7, but surveillance cameras will let you know if your employees are performing up to the standards that you have set for them.

And finally, business security cameras can give you peace of mind.  With remote access, you can look in on your building from your smart phone, tablet or computer.  Sometimes, you just need to take a quick look to make sure everything is okay – even in the middle of the night!

You will need to determine what type of camera you want.

Here are some questions to ask yourself:

• Will your cameras be used indoors or out?
• Should it be a visual deterrent or discreet?
• Is there a particular look you prefer?

There are numerous camera types to consider for indoors and out—from PTZs, box cameras, mini domes and bullets:

	PTZ Pan/tilt/zoom cameras are very versatile. PTZ cameras can pan (move left and right), tilt (move up and down), and zoom in or out. Additionally, PTZ cameras can rotate 360 degrees to view an object directly below them. Indoor and outdoor options are available
	Box Box cameras are comprised of the camera body, lens and power supply. For indoor use, a mount bracket is required for installation. For outdoor use, a housing is required.
	Mini Dome Dome cameras are half spherical-shaped cameras. These cameras are usually used when discreet applications are needed. They can be vandal resistant, and indoor and outdoor options are available.
	Bullet Bullet cameras are stylish with a bullet-like shape. Some come with infrared lighting, and they can be used indoors or out
