Do personal security cameras at home work?

Posted by Answers Community

Neighbors are talking about installing personal security cameras at their single family residences. Is that practical? The average video tape is no more than 6 hours.

Is there a way to continuously save all footage digitally on a 100GB hard drive for long vacations? But that also means computers must be left on the entire time so the electricity bill must run the computer, camera, and any other peripheral continuously on long vacations. If the power goes out briefly, then it's

This question assumes the camera is not aimed at other neighbor's homes so no privacy issues are violated.

OVC and the Spy shop both sell systems that record to Dvds. Some systems are motion detection activated, so you are only recording when the unit picks up something moving. Electricity in our area to run the system is about 5 cents an hour when it is in operation. If you have the type of system you are speaking about, use a backup battery and turn the monitor off and it is not that expensive.
