If you happen to do minor repairs to the wiring or hang a lamp, there should be no problems with creating a video surveillance system. How to cope with this task - we will help you figure it out.
Ready systems
There is a wide variety of ready-made video surveillance kits on the security market: from budget to more expensive ones, the difference is in the materials used, the build quality, and the brand. Which one to choose is up to you.
If the need arises, you can expand the system by integrating the required number of kits into one system.
With all the advantages, such systems also have disadvantages. Firstly, such kits do not come with software, which makes it impossible to observe an object in real time anywhere in the world via the Internet. And will you be able to do it - after all, you need a monitor with a multiscreen mode. Second, wireless systems have a limited range.
Summing up, we can say that there is no better solution than a self-assembled video surveillance system from components from different manufacturers and with the necessary characteristics.
The simplest system
You can create the simplest video surveillance system yourself - without buying any video cameras, DVRs, etc. The main condition is the presence of a camera.
In the 21st century, almost everyone has a smartphone, tablet, laptop or computer. Organizing all this into a video surveillance system will not be a big effort: we establish a connection with ourselves, be it a social network, WI-FI or in any other way, we install the camera in the right place and you can watch everything that happens in the next room.
The presence of special software is required, and downloading it on the Internet will not be difficult.
Another way is a video recorder. By fixing it in the right place and supplying power to it, we will get the same video surveillance system. True, not everyone has such a device, and the simplest model with a memory card will cost about $ 100.
The biggest disadvantage of this observation method is the limited recording time. With an average setting of 32 GB of memory card, the recording time will be several days. Then the recording will go “in a circle”.
