Home security is of utmost importance all at all times but can become a matter of survival during a disaster or emergency situation when individuals or groups may be looking to acquire the prepared family’s food or other assets. A security camera system is the best all-around method of home surveillance.
Modern day security camera systems utilize technologically advanced surveillance cameras paired with security DVR systems to digitally monitor and record all activity inside and outside your home or retreat. The advantages of this newer surveillance technology allow us to record surveillance footage to computer hard disks rather than videotapes and provide clearer digital imaging than the older magnetic videotape technology. DVR surveillance systems also tend to have much greater recording capacity than older technologies. Some can record for months at a time before running out of space. DVR footage is also much easier to retrieve, allowing you to search, find, and view past footage instantly, as well as watch your surveillance cameras recording in real time. Another big benefit of DVR surveillance is remote access. With proper setup, DVR security footage can be viewed remotely through a computer or smartphone.
The security cameras are available in bullet style or dome style and each has it’s own pros and cons. While both camera styles are popular there are a few notable differences that may help you to choose the right security camera for your needs. Bullet style cameras tend to be more weather resistant and often have a longer range. This makes them well-suited for outdoor applications where weather and distance are important. Dome style cameras are generally considered to be less intrusive and fit more seamlessly into an indoor setting. Bullet surveillance cameras are generally a bit easier to install and adjust as they do not need to be dismounted to adjust the angle. Dome security cameras, on the other hand, usually do need to be removed from the mounting to make adjustments. When it comes to durability, dome style surveillance cameras take the cake. Because of the protective housing they are much harder to vandalize. Bullet cameras, if accessible, can be moved or damaged with a rock or stick. Because bullet cameras are more obvious and visible, they are often the choice for those intending to deter a potential thief or vandal by the mere presence of surveillance. For more covert applications, people tend to prefer the dome security camera.

Personal Alarms
Personal Alarms, like those by MACE company are the best way to alert others if you are in distress. Personal alarms are small and easy to conceal and can be quickly activated if you are threatened to scare off the attacker as well as call for help. Some personal alarms, like the MACE Screecher can double as door alarms as well. When used as a door alarm, the alarm is triggered when someone attempts to open the door to which it is attached. As a portable personal alarm, the Screecher can be manually triggered to call for help in any situation.
