Installing security cameras for a condo can be a cost-efficient method of safeguarding property against theft, vandalism, and unwanted entry. They can act as a deterrent for potential burglars.
Benefits
Security cameras can provide condo owners with 24-hour surveillance both inside and outside the property. Cameras are usually linked to a recording device so that a tape or DVD may be reviewed at any time and stored for insurance purposes.
Considerations
The costs of home theft usually outweighs the cost of theft-prevention devices like security cameras. Installing cameras can, in some cases, help lower home insurance premiums.
Features
The presence of security cameras on a condo can be particularly useful if the property is not attended year-round. Some camera systems allow users to view a live feed of the camera's activity from virtually anywhere in the world, so the condition of the property can be checked at any time.
Out vs. Hidden
Security cameras that can be seen by potential burglars may not have the advantage of hidden ones. Because most burglars know to look for security cameras, they may spot cameras and either compromise the security's wiring, or simply avoid committing crimes within viewing range.
Effects
The presence of security cameras is becoming widespread not only in homes, but in businesses, schools and city sidewalks. Though they are generally supported as a good tool for personal and public safety, there are ongoing debates over cameras and privacy issues.
