M & J Video

Everyone should feel safe in their homes. Even with a standard security system, it's impossible to know about everything that goes on within your yard and within your home every second of every day. Luckily there are residential video surveillance systems that you can have installed in your home to give you the peace of mind you've been looking for.

It's important to consider your options when it comes to a surveillance system for your home. To know what's available on the market and what's best for your home, it is in your best interest to schedule a consultation with a security contractor. Here, someone will come out to your home, walk your property with you and discuss some of your surveillance expectations.

The days of recording to video are over. Many of the newer commercial video surveillance systems record digitally. The benefit of this is that you can record more data without running out of space. There are no tapes to worry about and so back-ups are easier to have on hand for longer periods of time. It also makes it easier to replay data from a certain period of time.

Finally, there's the topic of remote access. You may not be able to be on property at all times. For this reason, you may want to log in remotely to view what's going on within the building. This can include logging in from a computer or a smart phone to gain access to what the cameras are currently recording. You may also be able to choose a system that sends a text message to alert you there has been motion sensed from one of the areas where you have installed a camera.
