Last month, in East Point Georgia, the First Mallalieu United Methodist Church caught on fire and on the Video Surveillance Camera System. No one was hurt in the fire and the church didn’t burn to the ground but it did receive some damage. According East Point police and fire department, the fire was an arson, set by an unknown man.

The church security system caught video of a man dressed in glasses and a black jacket, carrying what looked to be a gas can on church grounds. Authorities have released still photos from the security camera system of the man to the media, in hopes that someone will identify him and an arrest can be made.

Proving security is important in all public places. Most people may not think of a church as a place that needs security cameras, any public place where large crowds gather can be a target of crime. And as with any place, there are important things to remember when you set up your church Security Camera System.

Hiding Spy Camera in a Bedroom:  Should a person be concerned whether their spouse is cheating or not, the best place to install a hidden camera would be in the bedroom.

Which place in the bedroom is best for a hidden camera?

Nightstands - Most bedrooms have nightstands. So one of the best places to put a hidden camera into would be a nightstand. You can get a hidden camera built into a clock/radio and put it right on the nightstand.

TV Sets - Many people have TV’s in bedrooms. Putting a hidden camera near the TV or on top of TV would be a good idea. Remember, the spy camera should be hidden and not look like a spy camera.

Computer - You can simply replace the regular pc speakers with new ones, which already have a hidden spy camera installed and perform surveillance.

Book Shelfs – A hidden camera on a book shelf is a good idea. Especially when the wireless or DVR hidden camera is in a shape of the book.

On Oct 1, 2009 around 100 concerned business owners and residents met to discuss requiring security cameras in some Bibb County businesses, a proposal launched in the wake of several store-related slayings.

The Bibb County commission chairman, wanted the people to tell him what they want. Due to the fact security cameras can help deter or help solve crimes, and they helped lead police to arrests in the two Bibb County slayings.

Bibb County commission chairman is continuing to work with the county attorney on a draft ordinance concerning Security Camera Systems. The draft is only a starting point for these discussions. He said he didn’t know whether the draft would require business security cameras, indoor cameras as well as outdoor cameras, or whether security cameras be required in businesses with an alcohol license or in all businesses. He also stated the sheriff’s department wants minimum standards for the Security Camera Systems and cameras to ensure that the video is usable.

Indoor -Outdoor IP Security Camera
Indoor -Outdoor IP Security Camera

Internet security camera technology is changing the way retailers can monitor their in-stores. Security cameras are set to take on a range of improved abilities over the next five years, with the introduction of Internet Protocol (IP) for video security networks.

In a recent retailing article, Tony Lagan, national business manager video security at Sony Australia, said “IP security camera systems would allow retailers access to a suite of analytical products and options not previously seen on analogue systems. Everything is now going on a computer network when it comes to video security. There’s definitely a big push in the direction of IP, because there are so many advantages to it.”

Ip security cameras offer increased abilities to film specified times, locations and products, as well as filming point of sale transactions when camera system is triggered.

If you don’t want someone going to a certain area of a store, as soon as someone goes there the security camera system can send an email with an image directly to the store manager or security guard cell phone anywhere in the world. IP security cameras are able to be set up anywhere with a data port.   Lagan predicts the penetration of IP into business surveillance would be close to 50% by 2012.

Wireless security cameras come with a transmitter that sends a video signal to a receiver connected to a TV, VCR, computer, or other video equipment. One of the biggest differences between different models and costs is the range of the transmitter. The video can be recorded and/or watched live. Depending on the size of your home you may need multiple wireless security cameras. Normally the entry points into your home and property are standard locations, but other areas such as pools and play areas  are good places for video surveillance.

With a video security camera system installed in your home, you need not open the door to peek. The security monitor will show you who is there. But better play smart too. Get those cameras that can take pictures of not only the person’s face but also of what is beside him, below him, and behind him. You had better check out the stranger at all angles just like in the spy movies. You never know if you’re security is at risk.

Get security cameras, whether they are wireless or wired, domed or not, hidden or obvious. You know what you need for your family’s safety. When the kids are playing outdoors have the front & back yards under surveillance for their safety. Home video security camera systems can operate on 2 to up to 16 cameras. If you have a limited budget, you can start off with a security camera kit. You can always add a camera later. If you have the money why not have some rooms and the outdoor surveillance?

When looking online for home video security shops, don’t get confused with the dizzying array of cameras. List the areas you want to installed surveillance cameras. Here are some places that recent customers have placed security cameras:

• playground, baby’s nursery, front yard, entry ways, garage, attic, cellar, backyard, driveway.

Select the areas that are important to you, then determine the number of cameras for your security camera system or security camera kit.  Do you need night vision cameras, if not this reduces the total cost of the system.
