1. Cameras: A wide variety of cameras are available for home security. Your home can have a single camera at the front door or many cameras placed throughout the house.

These can also be attached to VCRs or computers for additional monitoring and recording. If attached to a computer, you can check a status of the home from anywhere over the internet connection.

If the camera will be used outdoors it should have a casing that is durable enough to withstand the weather. If you fear vandalism an extra durable casing is needed. A CCTV will let you view the entrance and other strategic areas around your home.
