FAQ
What's the difference between security cameras and surveillance cameras?
Surveillance cameras can be used for surveillance purposes while security cameras can be used for protection.
Both cameras have their pros and cons. There is one major difference between the two types of cameras: the type of images that they capture. Surveillance cameras record video at slow speed, so you can see what's going on in real-time. Security cameras, on the other hand, only record still images and video, which can be viewed later.

How To
How to test your home security system
How to test a Home Security System
First, install alarm monitoring software. You can download the most current version from manufacturer's website. Next, create your phone number in order to have monitoring center calls routed to your telephone. If you don’t know how to do that, you can ask your local service provider. Now you can start testing once everything is in place.
There are two main ways you can test your system. First, you can use a fake device. This is basically a fake device that looks like a real one. The fake device has many of the same features as the original, but it does not actually work. You can turn it on and it will sound exactly the same as the real thing. A dummy device comes with some limitations. The first is that it doesn't reveal anything about your system's functionality. If it is left around, it may look suspicious. Finally, it could cause problems if it gets stolen.
Second, you can test your system by hand. You will need to go through your entire system and verify that everything is working properly. You might check that your motion sensors work properly, that your cameras record, and that the doors lock correctly. At least once per week, test everything. Once you have tested everything thoroughly you can be confident that your system works well.
