CCTV Security Camera Monitors

Home Security Store has several choices when it comes to CCTV security camera monitors for the customer who seeks high-end performance. These CCTV monitors can’t be found at your local electronics store. That is because the LCD monitors not only have great display ability, but are designed to accept CCTV video signals such as Composite, RCA, or BNC connections which some high-end surveillance equipment requires.

(On the other hand, there are the less expensive and more readily available VGA monitors that can be utilized with some surveillance equipment, plus there are BNC/VGA video converters as well.)

CCTV monitors are ideal for office, home, and other business applications. The monitors are suited to display the best possible picture with crisp, highly detailed images produced from your security cameras.

Most of Home Security Store’s CCTV monitors are manufactured by ViewEra. ViewEra specializes in making flat panel displays and high-tech LCD products. They are based in California with manufacturing plants in both Taiwan and China.

Remember, if you decide to mount your CCTV monitor on the wall, be sure that the mounting bracket you choose can hold the weight of the monitor. You would not want to see your lovely new CCTV LCD monitor that you paid a couple of hundred dollars for fall and break!

Video Recorders

There are two main video recorders which are used within home security. There are DVRs (digital video recorders) and VCRs (video cassette recorders). These video recorders are available in different models, shapes, and even sizes. For example, a DVR can be so small that it can even fit within a Spy Pen! A DVR can be portable and of course hidden.

The DVR is the more popular and innovative product over the dwindling VCR. This growth in the DVR market has allowed retailers to offer more competitively priced DVRs with better features that were once only available for commercial use and at a very high price.

DVRs used for security purposes are the same in concept as household ones used to record TV programs. However, security DVRs are capable of storing many more hours of footage, record multiple channels, and produce other helpful features in the recording, organizing, and playback of video.

Some more benefits of the DVR include no more tapes to mess with, expandable hard drives, possible remote internet access, password protected features, and motion sensing.

When you are choosing a DVR, make sure it is compatible with your cameras and that you have enough channels to support the number of cameras that you would like to operate.

Video recorders can be set to record continuously or by a schedule and in some cases upon motion detection. Remember, recording video is very important when it comes to catching a thief. That’s because video can be used as evidence that helps police identify and find the culprit.
