The Benefits Of Residential Video Surveillance

4 Benefits Of Residential Surveillance Security Systems

Keep Intruders At Bay. Residential video surveillance security systems are beneficial in preventing crimes, as the would-be thieves see the camera and the idea of being identified on video deters them. This deterrent is especially strong for increasingly common porch theft, which is when someone steals a package off of your doorstep before you can bring it inside. A house with residential video surveillance is far less likely to have packages stolen than those without. Some people will put up fake cameras for this reason, but experienced criminals are often able to identify a real camera from a decoy.

Assist Police. If a crime does occur, you will have video evidence that may be useful to the police. Even if the thief has their face covered, the police will still be able to know what they were wearing, their general weight and height, and potentially their vehicle/license plate. All of these details will assist the police to catch the burglar and return your possessions. Your camera may assist your neighbours as well. Depending on the view of your camera or the route the thief takes, you may be able to provide information to the police if someone in your neighbourhood is robbed or vandalized.

Insurance Claims. When you are robbed, you need to make an insurance claim for everything that was stolen and what it was worth. Having the incident on camera allows you to document what happened and what was taken, with the footage making it easy to validate your claims. Insurance companies will sometimes give discounts to neighbourhoods where a moderate to high percentage of houses have residential security systems, since it makes the whole neighbourhood lower risk.

Supervise Family And Pets. When both parents work, it can be stressful trusting that your child is always getting home safe. With a residential security system, you can be alerted when your child enters the home after school, putting your mind at ease. You can also use your residential security system to monitor pets during the day. This way you can make sure they are safe in the home as well as if they have damaged any furniture or what rules they break while you’re not there to tell them no.
