The standard resolution for most security cameras is 1080p and most systems have a digital zoom. With a camera that has more megapixels, you will be able to zoom in digitally and still have a clear picture. Most security cameras use wide-angle lenses.

Placement of your cameras is very important. We will have one of our experts come out to your home or business and help you decide on the placement of all the cameras. Both homes and businesses will want to have some of their cameras placed outside. Choosing a camera for outside observation will need to be capable of dealing with outdoor environments.
Monitoring With Wi-Fi
Alarm system companies usually rely on Wi-Fi to some degree, but it is not exclusively depending on this service. Businesses will set up a networking system to monitor everything, while homeowners will include an access control system that uses the cloud, Bluetooth, tablets or their smartphones.
Some security systems will have web portals for accessing your alerts or videos, which will give you more flexibility for viewing. Your video security system will not store anything on the camera itself. It will store everything on the cloud so you have access to the footage from your other devices.
Businesses will need to store more footage on the cloud then a homeowner will. Your security company will inform you on their cloud services and help you choose how long you need to keep your footage. Businesses might want to keep it for a month or more where as a homeowner may choose to keep footage for a day or two. Some companies will offer cloud service within a package deal for monthly alarm monitoring. Do some research and choose the security company that meets the needs of your business or home for your protection.
