When is the camera going to be used? How are the cameras going to be connected? How much ambient light is available? Where is the camera output going to go? Does the camera need to have PTZ (pan, tilt, zoom) control? How are the surveillance cameras recorded? How long is the information stored?

Personal Home Safety

Things to consider… Shrubs – trim to be no taller than 3 feet Trees – trim branches up to 6 feet off the ground. Plant thorny shrubs beneath windows. Install security lighting around the exterior of your home. Utilize motion sensor lights. Solid front door vs. hollow-core door. Select doors with less glass. Invest in a good lock – single vs. double cylinder (bump proof) Lock windows, garage doors and basement doors Secure your garage door opener. Close blinds Make your home look occupied when you are not there Stop mail, newspapers, etc. when you are traveling. Don’t advertise with your garbage by putting out a boxes of

expensive items like flat screen TV you just bought. Don’t put your name on your mailbox or key chain.
