Crime is no joking matter nor is it something that we can just ignore. In the United States alone, more than 4 million crimes occurred in 2008. Specifically there were 2,222,196 burglaries, 441,855 robberies, 1,382,012 violent crimes, etc.

Security is very important. No longer can locked doors or fences guarantee that nothing will happen inside our homes or workplaces. In addition, when a suspect is caught, a simple testimony may not be enough to put that person in jail. Today, it is imperative that one has proof that he or she is the person who committed the crime. This is where security cameras become vital.

There are many kinds of security cameras including spy cameras, CCTV (closed-circuit television) cameras, and wireless cameras. Spy cameras have been used mainly to observe people without them realizing that they are being watched. Spy cameras can be as small as one’s thumb and can be disguised as anything: a teddy bear, a pen, and even a wall clock. In contrast, CCTV cameras are quite easy to spot. These cameras can often be seen as we enter shops and banks. CCTV camera security systems use television cameras to capture video and transmit the images to specific monitors or TV screens.

During the early years of the security cameras, wires are installed to transfer data to monitors. Business and home owners would need to put holes for the wires to go thru. The security cameras would be affixed in places where people have knowledge of where exactly they were installed.

Wireless cameras are, nowadays, so advanced that many can capture high quality images and sound — up to 40 feet away indoors! Captured data is secure that other people will not be able to access the information. Furthermore, there are many types that can cater to various needs:

A few are very small and can be used as spy cameras;

Some use batteries while others need to be plugged onto an electrical wall socket;

Plug in wireless security cameras are also available

Wireless security cameras which can capture colored photos or videos in dimly lit places can also be purchased

Some models alerts that can be sent via email or text message to a cell phone to notify you of activity.

They can cost from $73.95 (for the Mini Pinhole Camera System) to $599.95 (for the Global Watchman Outdoor Cellular Surveillance System which are motion activated and can get photos, captured during the day or night, sent anywhere in the world even without an internet connection).
