I need a internet based security camera for my businesss can you help. Also how much will it cost

CCTV Guide

In our opinion ip based cameras are too expensive at this point to justify buying just one. They range any where from $300 dollars on up. A more cost effective approach in the long run is to purchase a digital video recorder and a analog camera.

The reason is that a digital video recorder can handle up to 16 cameras at one time and still give you remote access through the internet. In the short term it may be a little more expensive up front but this will literally save you thousands of dollars long term.

Here’s an example of a camera system for the do it your selfer. It includes an All-in-one DVR that anyone can afford comes with 4 cameras you choose which ones you need! 4 cables, power distributor, 160GB HD storage, Motion detection and Ethernet. Tons of features for a low price
At only $627 you can basically get 4 cameras and recorder for the price of a single ip camera

How do I Install A Hidden Security Camera That Records

I need a hidden camera that records more than a normal VCR can you recommend one?

Installing a nanny camera is pretty simple but getting one to work properly is another matter. You need to consider how far the nanny cam will be from the receiver as well as the construction of the house

The wireless transmitter inside the nanny camera has a limited range. Typically they are rated between 300 and 700 feet. While this sounds like a lot, this range is line of site.

This is the maximum distance the nanny cam will transmit with no obstacles in the way. If you install it in a living room and the receiver is on the other end of the house you’ll be lucky to get a good signal.

Construction of a house plays a major role in where you can install a nanny cam. For example newer homes have been using metal studs instead of wood ones.

Metal studs can easily interfere with the video signal and decrease the overall range you can expect. It’s best to install your nanny camera close to the receiver if possible.

Be creative, the receiver could be place in a closet in the same room. You can power it by drilling a small hole in the back of the closet and running a power cord to an electrical outlet.

If you’re not sure of where to drill you can use a stud finder or measure approximately 8 inches from the corner. You should be fine unless you are on an outside wall.

One last tip, before you even attempt to install your nanny camera you should determine where you get the best signal. You can do this by connection the receiver to a portable television and move it from room to room.
