New Technologies Used in Security Cameras

 

 

 

 

 

If you have no idea how technologies change in security cameras, you can just watch at least 5 of the James Bond films. This franchise is famous not only for its sexy leads but also for the wide array of spy gadgets utilized.

 

 

 

However, it would be too much of a fiction for you if you’re going to base the change in technology in that manner. Of course, you definitely need something realm such as the following:

 

 

 

Getting Rid of the VCRs

How do you record surveillance before? Normally, you are going to attach them on VCRs. Though there are still people who make use of them, there are already a lot of issues that have to be addressed. For one, the quality of the images or the videos can deteriorate if they are being viewed a lot of times. You may also encounter tracking issues.

Fortunately, there are already DVRs or digital video recorders. Though they are more expensive than VCRs, they are more effective in several ways. You don’t need to have any external media to record. The higher versions can also record in high-definition. This way, you can see the more vivid and crystal-clear images.

 

 

Sweeping Views

Okay, here’s another issue with the old-style surveillance cameras. Most of them can only capture images and videos in one location only. That’s why you sometimes have to install a lot of them all over your property.

If you want to reduce your expenses, you may want to take a look at the newer models of dome cameras. These types can rotate in 360 degrees to ensure that they can capture a sweeping view of your property. Moreover, a lot of them are already equipped with night-vision features, so you can still view people and objects even in the middle of the night.

Spy Cameras

This is the part where you can be the next James Bond. Spy gadgets now range from the most obvious and formal to the quirkiest. Do you know that you can already have a spy iPod? You can even mount it on walls, PCs, or anywhere else. You can also bring them along, as if you’re really bringing Apple’s magnificent creations.

Perhaps your nanny will never have an idea that she’s being spied on with a digital clock slash surveillance camera. Or you could already be traveling more than your speed limit without any idea that the one tailing you is already a police car.

Getting You under Your Skin?

New technologies used in surveillance cameras can sometimes be uncomfortable but still tolerated for the sake of world security. Take, for example, the one that can penetrate beyond your clothes. The purpose of this is to check if there are concealed weapons stored inside shirts, pants, and even undergarments.

Indeed, a lot of people have cried foul, but as long as the government remembers the incident in 9/11, there’s a good chance that it will remain for years.

Plug and Play

The concept of plug and play has been used in computer paraphernalia such as keyboards and mice. Now it’s being utilized in surveillance cameras. This means that you will spend less time in installing them. You can also have more control over their features.
