Get a LCD MONITOR and a
OUTDOOR SECURITY CAMERA for your DIY Home Security System.
The Best in SELF DEFENSE PRODUCTS
Have you ever wanted to have the capability of seeing who was at your front or back door without actually going to the door and opening it. As part of home security 101 we preach of course that everyone should have a peephole and use it. That is a good first step.
But beyond that is having the capability to actually see who's there on a cctv setup in your own home.
The idea is relatively easy and is a great way to increase security for your home and help in the prevention of home invasion.
Using a hidden or surveillance and a cctv monitor you can greatly increase protection for your family.
Most home invasions are accomplished by simply getting in thru the front or back door. If you can see who's there, it will give the homeowner a tremendous advantage.
HERE'S HOW TO DO IT.
Install a surveillance camera over or near your front or back door-or both. Make sure the camera is designed for outdoor use and at least weatherproof. Dome cameras are usually the best for this use. Some have extra protection against vandalism. They are small and inexpensive. Hook your cameras up to your DVR or VCR.
The cameras can be wired or wireless-wired is best for this application.
Then connect a cctv LCD monitor to the DVR or VCR that can be located anywhere in your home. Most monitors can view at least 4 cameras. You can place the monitor near the doors you are watching or further away in a den or family room.
This setup gives you added security for your home and your family. It is relatively inexpensive and very east to set up.
So to find out who's at your front or back door without going to see who's there get the equipment, hook it up and rest easy-a real DIY home security system.
