Don’t be caught off-guard
Many modern CCTV installations use motion detection to record video footage onto a digital video recorder. It can be even used to alert you in real time to any potential intruders. However, as much as motion detection is a real benefit it can be a real problem if your installation has been set up incorrectly. At best you’ll end up recording random video sequences. This will result in your storage capacity on your recorder being eating up very quickly. Worse still, you might miss an intruder breaking into your property because the motion detection isn’t configured properly.
Motion detection set-up requires an expert too
Setting up your motion detection camera will depends on whether the motion detection software is built into the camera itself. Many network cameras that communicate over IP networks have built in software which provides a variety of functions including motion detection. If you have bought a camera that only sends a video signal over a wired or wireless network, you will need to utilise the motion detection software on your video recorder. The recorder itself can be a stand-alone box or a home computer. The easiest one to configure out of all these options is the networked camera because you can access it from any computer on the same network. Furthermore, each camera is individually configured and self reliant in that if one camera stops working it won’t affect the others.
Setting up motion detection on your CCTV installation system may seem time consuming, but it can have a huge effect on the performance of your system. If done properly, you can monitor daily activities in and around your home without the inconvenience of wading through endless empty images. Remember, when in doubt about installing your CCTV yourself, it is a much better choice to select an expert to do it for you.
