In times of economic uncertainty, securing your property becomes paramount. While overall burglary rates have seen some decline, they remain a concern for many homeowners. A motion detection camera can be a valuable asset for safeguarding your home or office.
Burglary is defined as the unlawful or forcible entry or attempted entry of a residence, often involving theft. This can involve forced entry through windows or doors, or simply entering through an unlocked access point. The location doesn’t necessarily need to be your primary residence. Illegal entry into a garage, shed, or even a hotel room during a vacation can also constitute burglary.
While 24/7 security guards offer constant protection, they aren’t always feasible. A simpler, more affordable solution is a surveillance camera. If a multi-camera system is beyond your budget, consider self-contained motion detection cameras that record images to internal memory.
The CyberEye Infrared Digital Surveillance Camera is an economical option. This self-contained motion detection camera captures black and white photos whenever motion is detected, day or night, thanks to its built-in infrared lights. It can be set to record images at intervals of one to sixty seconds, storing up to 680 images before the memory is full.
Its compact size allows for discreet placement in your home, office, or even vehicle. You can position it to monitor a window or, for example, to catch vandals damaging your car or property. Once activated with the included remote control, the CyberEye will record any detected movement. Note that children or pets may trigger the motion detection, so consider placement accordingly.
To review the captured images, simply connect the CyberEye to a TV or VCR and use the remote to scroll through the recordings. You can then record the images to a VCR or camcorder for later transfer to your computer, enabling you to create CDs or DVDs. The CyberEye stores images in non-volatile memory, ensuring data retention even in the event of power loss or battery failure.
