CCTV cameras were invented to ensure that people felt safe. When we think of CCTV cameras we often think of the fact that an office or a government building or a business on the High Street has them outside. CCTV installations were brought in to not only monitor those who come and go, but to play a role in internal surveillance.
Businesses often have a security room with live cinematic multicam screams showing you exactly what your cameras are seeing through the day. We can agree that CCTV cameras were designed to protect us, but we often overlook that this asset also can help with the safety of our homes and our families, to. Business security is one thing, but home security is another thing entirely. Domestic TV installations are on the rise, with ring cameras and Wi-Fi cameras set up around the home to be able to monitor the kids on the inside and the potential dangers on the outside. So, here are the top reasons you should get CCTV installed at your residence.

- You can monitor your house and your family on the inside no matter where you are. If the kids are at home on their own and you are still at work, you can use your cameras to see what they're up to and to ensure that they are safe. It doesn't matter whether you are looking to monitor the perimeter of your home or your keeping pets while you are away, CCTV around the house is going to allow you to do that whenever you need to. Anytime you want to, you can check the camera footage on your device.
- They are a deterrent for burglars. CCTV cameras work as a very strong deterrent for robbers and burglars who want to break into your home. They know that they will be captured on camera which will make your home a lot less acceptable to break in. If your house does not have CCTV, it's more susceptible to people thinking that you're home would be a sure thing. If you have strategically installed CCTV, keep the cameras where people can see them on the outside, you will deter any potential break-ins.
- CCTV can record everything that happens in and around your house. Happens when you are on vacation, you can scroll back through your footage and ensure that you find out what happened and how they got in. It records everything that happens so that you'll be able to go back and get that footage if you need it. It can serve as very reliable evidence in a court of law, which will help to bring somebody who breaks into your home to justice.
- It's a good investment for your long-term safety. Yes, the initial upfront cost of cameras around your home may feel expensive, but can you really put a price on your safety? Can you really afford to replace everything that gets stolen if you don't have insurance? You need to have cameras at the ready so that you can deter this from happening and then clawback your things if it does happen.
