Is staying home more secure than being out in the street?

Alexander Smallwood,

The gradual installation of more and more security cameras in public areas have been mostly well received by community members, offering them more peace of mind and an increased feeling of safety.

The advent of affordable home security systems and home hidden cameras however, has provided us the opportunity to extend such feelings of security from the streets into our homes.

Gone are the days when users were faced with setting up complicated remote viewing functions (the screen you watch your security footage on). New cameras, such as the TP-LINK 2-Way Audio Surveillance Camera from Quantum Wireless, require no such viewing function. Simply place the camera in view of whatever you want to be monitored, and watch the footage live on a web browser page. There is no need to dedicate a PC monitor to displaying camera footage, the TP-LINK transmits real time surveillance footage to a web browser page, enabling you to watch over your possessions from anywhere in the world.

Alternatively, you can monitor the footage from your MSN account. The TP-LINK launches the MSN View function on the IP camera. This also allows you to watch live footage from your computer online in real time. Within a few stress free minutes, you can be logged into your MSN account and monitoring your surveillance system. This function completely eliminates all the time-consuming problems that plagued surveillance monitoring on older network camera systems. Live footage can also be viewed on 3G capable cell phones, or through the included bundled software. The bundled software can accommodate up to 16 cameras at a time.

A 1/4 inch progressive scan CMOS sensor produces clear and crisp images, even when in low light environments, and the lens is capable of a 30fps frame rate in VGA resolution, ensuring smooth video capture and playback. It is also embedded with MPEG-4/MJPEG dual streams for simultaneous remote recording and local surveillance.

For areas you want to keep entirely free from trespassers, The TP-LINK can be configured to send you an email as soon as any motion is detected. Advanced features of high availability are also incorporated, such as 2-way audio and dual streaming, making the TL-SC3130 an excellent indoor surveillance solution.

You may not always be under a watchful eye whilst out in the street, but with affordable options such as the TP-LINK, you can make sure the surveillance of your own most prized possessions is never more than just a few clicks away.
