BENEFITS OF A SECURITY CAMERA

From an inexpensive solution for monitoring a child or pets, to a sophisticated system that protects your commercial property, the right surveillance camera makes a difference in your security. In the home, cameras provide peace of mind. You can keep a watchful eye on your child while he or she is with a caregiver or sleeping, or monitor your pets’ behaviour when you’re not home. In a commercial setting, security cameras not only capture images of shoplifters, trespassers or vandals, but also they can be used to monitor employee and customer interactions, protecting your business and property.

HOW TO CHOOSE A SECURITY CAMERA

There are two basic options for security cameras: analog and digital. Analog cameras have the advantage of being less expensive and compatible with any analog recorder or DVR (Digital Video Recorder.) They are limited, however, to less resolution and don’t offer the same features as their digital cousins. Digital cameras and NVRs (Network Video Recorders) offer options like zoom, remote access capabilities and higher resolution. These cameras are run on Ethernet cable as supposed to coax/cable. Here at Barnes Protection Services Inc., we have a range of options to fit different scenarios. Call in to discuss your options today.

LIGHTING TECHNOLOGY

Light is essential for cameras to work properly. However, cameras these days are much smarter than ever before. With smart lighting technologies our cameras can provide clear images even in the most difficult circumstances.

DAY/NIGHT

Day/Night cameras have a filter within that determines how much natural or artificial light is showing on the image. This means that during the day, the filter is lifted to allow a nice colourful image, and during the night it is removed to allow clear black and white images.

IR ILLUMINATION

Many of our cameras have Infrared lights built into them. This allows the camera to see even in the dark. Check on the range of the IR LEDs to determine the best location for mounting your camera.
