7 Signs, that Your House has been Targeted for Robbery

According to FBI statistics, every 15 seconds a house is being robbed in the USA. 9 out of 10 burglaries are usually planned beforehand, so there are a few signs, which are indicators that Your house is being watched for not-so-good-purposes. Here are some situations You should watch out.

1. There are strange marks on the fence, on garage, on the house itself. If You are sure, that its not Your kids' art, then consult the police officer as soon as possible.

2. You have spotted a strange person walking slowly in Your neighborhood and observing Your house. This is to be taken into consideration carefully, because he might just turn out to be a lost passer-by.



3. A vehicle that you haven't seen before on your street: The first warning sign is a vehicle parked and unattended for a long time or at random times near your home. It doesn't belong to your neighbors or anyone you know in the neighborhood.

4. In general people have an appointment set in advance when a cable repairman or TV installer is stopping by to fix or service your equipment. So if a handyman, workman, or anyone else comes to your home unannounced, take warning.

5. Another knock at the door by a stranger who asks to use Your bathroom or wants a glass of water. It is possible, that he would be a random passer who is just in need of anything, but anyhow, better safe than sound, keep an eye on him.

6. Your locks, window locks or garage door/window is mysteriously broken. You should hurry to fix them and check Your alarm system.

7. There are promotional materials at the front door, like visit cards, promo-offer catalogs, sticky notes on the door. Usually burglars put all these at the front door, to check if homeowners are at home, or not.


Many people think that wasting money on a home security system is useless and they try to take the responsibility of keeping their home safe by not having a security alarm system, and only after a burglary or another accident realize, that investing on a security system is vital for their home protection.  Keep Your property secure and safe with security system. That's the best deterrent for burglars.

Video Surveillance in Childcare Centers

Video Surveillance is number one priority in any child oriented and safe Childcare Center. Every parent wants to be sure that their child is being treated well, properly cared for and is not abused in any way. Professional security cameras with advanced features are the best solution.

For some people access given to all parents is an issue of privacy, and there is an anxiety that other parents are watching not only their own, but also the other children, that is why many Daycare Centers choose the method of monitoring at Daycare territory. There are also centers that choose method of authorized parent monitoring. Anyhow, whatever method is chosen, security camera in Childcare Centers is a must nowadays taking into consideration the fact that cases of child abuse increase every year. Every parent will have peace of mind, knowing that he/she will be sure, that the child is in safe surroundings.

If a Childcare Center installs surveillance cameras for the purpose of allowing parents to monitor children in the daycare center, all daycare employees, attendants and parents must be informed about the cameras' intended use. Daycare authorities are obliged to maintain safe communication security measures to prevent unauthorized access to the video surveillance system. Generally, cameras are not installed at bathrooms and diaper changing rooms, anyhow, they can be installed, if that is the decision and requirement of all parents, and is not against the specific state laws, as in different states there are laws regulating privacy matters.
After all, security is at the very top of the list for a quality child care experience, and all of us want our children to grow up in safe and secure surrounding!

What is an IP camera?

What is an IP camera, and what are the main differences between an IP camera and a CCTV camera?

IP camera, or Internet Protocol camera is also called Network Camera, and they are widely used for residential and commercial purposes, offering the user high quality.

IP camera needs a static IP address for the router and other network devices to identify and connect with it. In case of a dynamic IP address that keeps changing randomly every time the camera is connected to the network, a fixed URL via Dynamic Domain Name Service (DDNS) must be set up.

While CCTV cameras transmit one-way analog data with the help of coaxial cable to the DVR, and then it is converted to digital data, IP cameras are able to send and receive, that is to stream digital video, PoE - a system that passes electrical power along with data on an Ethernet cable., and in this case there is no need in analog to digital conversion. IP cameras stream the video directly to the NVR, a Network Video Recorder. The main advantage of IP camera over CCTV is that the camera captures and delivers a higher quality video. Additionally, IP cameras capture a much wider field of view than comparable analog cameras. As a result, the cost of IP cameras is much higher than that of analog ones.

IP cameras either have wired or wireless connections, and are used both indoors and outdoors, during the day and at night.

There are two kinds of IP cameras:

Centralized IP cameras

These cameras require a central NVR to store the recording, handle video and alarm management.

Decentralized IP cameras

Decentralized IP cameras don’t need a central NVR, and the video is processed at the source, as the cameras have recording function built-in and can thus record directly to any standard storage media, such as SD cards, hard disc, or a server.
