Security Camera Systems – Let’s Get Back to the Basics

Video security systems provide a solution to a basic human need – the need to be aware of one’s surroundings. What’s more, they take this concept to the next level by granting visual access to areas of a person’s property that would otherwise be impossible to view all at once.

Video Security Systems for Home

We use video security systems for several reasons. They can be implemented in homes to safeguard the exterior of the property. Obvious security coverage can deter crime here and keep the house secure. For that reason, models like the bullet camera that catch the eye have become a staple of outdoor security systems. Along with that, floodlight cameras have grown in popularity for the many of the same reasons More on those two below!

The other big reason to implement video security systems in homes is to keep an eye on the family when you are away. Knowing when the kids get home from school or when people come and go, or even when someone approaches the door is a huge sense of comfort. If you can’t physically be home to keep your family safe, what’s the next best option? Its clear that indoor video security systems can be hugely beneficial to family safety.

Video Security Systems for Business

The essential functions of business video security systems are to keep your assets protected as well as your customers and employees safe. Visual accountability for both patrons and your employees is absolutely necessary if you are a business owner. Just from a legal standpoint, you will want to have reliable surveillance in your office building, retail store, restaurant, etc.

If any illegal activity should occur on your property, you’ll need high quality video security system footage to provide as evidence to the proper authorities. This ensures that your place of business has an extra set of eyes on it, 24/7.

The Basic Functions of Video Security Systems

Our cameras & video security systems have 5 core features that combine to provide a comprehensive and reliable means of surveillance.

The 5 Core Features:

• Resolution
• Night Vision
• Motion Detection
• Weatherproofing
• Remote Viewing

With these features at the core of our design and development, we create security camera systems that serve your basic surveillance needs and more. We conceptualize the needs of modern homes and commercial spaces to think of all the possible layers of convenience we can add to the mix. This results in tweaks to the video security system’s core features along with other functionalities layered on to address the most aspects of surveillance with each one of our solutions.

A Viewing Experience for Everyone

When you shop for a security camera system, one of the first things you’ll encounter is the resolution. This makes sense as one of the most important aspects of visual security is your viewing experience.

Each image captured by a surveillance camera is made up of tiny units called pixels. The more individual pixels in each image, the more clarity you gain. That is why cameras with higher pixel counts tend to cost more. We represent our pixels counts in megapixels, which shows the number of pixels by the million.

LaView Video Security Systems High Definition Resolution Options:

• 8MP or Ultra HD 4K (3840 x 2160 pixels)
• 5MP (2560 x 1944 pixels)
• 4MP (2688 x 1520 pixels)
• 3MP (2048 x 1536 pixels)
• 2MP or HD 1080P (1920 x 1080 pixels)

Security tech companies have placed a premium on high-end resolutions and enhanced viewing experiences. When shopping for a security solution, you have to ask yourself, is the price of high-end imaging worth it?

The answer: Yes. But there’s a catch here. Take, for example, our 8MP systems, otherwise well known as our Ultra HD 4K video security systems. When you choose a high-resolution video security system such as 4K, you are paying a higher price for a more detailed, fluid viewing experience. There is no doubt that a better resolution is great if you can afford it. We frequently recommend these systems for commercial properties.

An important distinction here, though, is that LaView provides HD viewing for every budget. Even our more economical solutions like 2MP, also known as HD 1080P, provides our user with a clear and detailed viewing experience, packed with other professional features to round out the video security systems. We have options at every level of resolution for you to find the best intersection of price and performance for your purposes.

Maintain Clarity 24/7 with IR Night Vision

The next core feature is night vision. This has become an absolute staple of modern video security systems and a must-have function if you want to keep your property safe and secure. Our cameras and systems switch into IR night vision mode seamlessly as lighting dims and obscures visibility.

They use infrared light, which is invisible to the naked eye, to bathe the area in their field of view. From there, the camera’s sophisticated lens uses that light to bring a black and white image to you. This keeps your property protected, regardless of the time of day.

In some cases, we offer full color night vision. These enhanced options allow you to choose between traditional black and white IR night vision and full color night vision depending on your needs. Being able to see colors in your nighttime footage is crucial if you need to provide evidence of an event.

Take a closer look at our HD 5MP system, our Ultra HD 4K system and our 3MP doorbell camera, which all feature full color night vision options!

Motion Detection Keeps You Connected

We always equip our cameras with Motion Detection capabilities. This keeps you alert to the important motion in your camera’s field of view while helping you save recording space. You can choose to record only on motion detection which saves tons of space compared to continuous recording.

In fact, motion detection on LaView cameras is always customizable. You can set it to schedules, customize areas to be scanned for motion or simply turn it off. It is our goal to give you the motion detection options that work for you, with the least amount of false alarms possible.

Two of our most sophisticated motion detection video security systems are the Ultra HD 4K PIR System, as well as the Ultra HD 4K PIR + Strobe System. Both of these systems use PIR thermal detection sensors to help the cameras only pick up motion from humans and animals that give off a heat signal. The latter of the two kits implements strobe light cameras that flash on with motion detection to deter crime.

Reliability and Performance in Any Weather

With LaView video security systems, you always have the choice to use the cameras indoors or outdoors. We make sure that all of our cameras are suited for use in any weather conditions by implementing weatherproof technology.

Our cameras generally range between IP65 and IP67 weatherproof ratings, meaning they are sealed and protected against the ingress of small solid particles as well as water. That means heavy winds that may carry dust, dirt and small debris as well as heavy precipitation will not cause the cameras to malfunction. They will continue on providing high-quality surveillance footage.

View Your Footage from Anywhere with LaView

Remote viewing is a key function of any good modern video security system. At LaView, we are all about accessibility and convenience with your security. Using our free mobile app, you will be able to view your full HD livestream or playback footage with any LaView system.

Along with that, we want to ensure you stay aware of any significant events on your property. With the aforementioned motion detection settings, you can have instant push notifications sent to your mobile device upon motion detection. This will give you the option to look in on your camera’s view or review the event that triggered the motion alert.

These 5 core features combine to bring you the most reliable and best performing video security systems on the market. Secure, monitor and find peace of mind with LaView.
