Selecting the best surveillance equipment

There was a time when, surveillance equipment was only to the government and private investigators.

Now hundreds of thousands of people are using hidden spy cameras to check on their housekeepers and babysitters. The average person can now use inexpensive security cameras to keep an eye on their homes or businesses to catch theft, abuse and infidelity.

No other method offers more definitive proof that surveillance video.

Before you get started with your own surveillance project, there are 3 important quality features you should look for…

  1. Wireless spy cameras: select only high powered 2.4 GHz transmitters rather that lower powered versions. High powered options can send video signals up to three times further than other transmitters.
  2. Battery Packs: You need a power supply for security cameras. Power is often handled by a simple battery pack. But most battery packs can only supply power for up to 5 hours. After that you have to throw away or recycle that pack and get a new one. Take a look at these 12 volt battery packs that last up to a whopping 8 hours…and are fully rechargeable! So why not throw in a 12 volt battery recharger you can simply plug into your wall.
  3. CCD Lens Technology: Which stands for CCD Charged Coupled Device. There are cheaper lenses on the market, but none of them produce the high quality images that CCD lenses do. CCD lenses are high resolution and highly sensitive to light, allowing them to record video in outdoor and low-light conditions.
