It's not a safe world out there, so you want to hedge your bets a bit by investing in wireless home video security. There hasn't been a better time to do so. Since the technology can be run on your computer (or even your cell phone), there's no need to buy a whole complicated system of monitors or control panels. But, like with almost everything else, there is a dizzying array of choices for you. It can seem overwhelming, but you can quickly sort through the array with these tips.
Know What You Want And Stick With It
It's best to have a clear vision of what you want from a wireless home video security system before you go shopping. If you go with vague notions, then you are setting yourself up to be talked into buying services that you'll rarely need - if ever. If it helps you to keep to the straight and narrow path of what you need (and what you don't), write it down and keep it in hand whenever you go shopping or comparison shopping for a wireless home video security system.
You Have To Have A Computer
If you don't have a computer or Internet access, then there is no way that you will be able to use a wireless home video security system. Most systems are not self-contained. In order to be affordable, you need to log onto the company's website in order to access the video stream that your camera is projecting. With some systems, you don't even need a laptop computer. You can use a cell phone or PDA that has internet access.
Websites To Check Out
There are many consumer review websites, such as the appropriately-named ConsumerReview.com, where you can read what other people and tech magazines have said about many different kinds of home security video surveillance systems. Most of these sites are not worth looking at, but Homespy.com and the aforementioned ConsumerReviews.com are the best.
Price
If you are in the market for a wireless home video security system, you might think that price would not be an issue. But it is. You need to be exactly sure of not only what you are paying for, but if there are any fees that will change over time. For example, you might get a great introductory rate, but after a few months, the bill skyrockets. You need to also know about how to get out of any contract before you sign.
