HOW TO GET THE MOST OUT OF YOUR WIRELESS OUTDOOR SECURITY CAMERAS…
PLACE IT WELL
All of these cams cope well with light level changes, but to get the best footage possible you’ll want to avoid placing the sensor facing direct sunlight which might dazzle it – stick to the shadows if possible. This might mean installing beneath the eaves of your house, or high inside a window opening. The higher you go, the more difficult the process of recharging becomes, but better a good picture than a blown-out image that does you no good.
PROTECT IT
Some security cameras come with theft protection, so if a sneaky intruder happens to abscond with your outdoor cam – these cameras are all easy to detach from their brackets – you’ll be able to claim a replacement. Make sure the rest of your cams are either covered or insured, and (conversely) use the deterrent stickers included with each to draw attention to the fact that you’re filming.
HEAD TO THE CLOUD
Your investment in outdoor security cameras is not the end of the expense: while you’ll usually get short-term storage included for free, it’s imperative that you sign up for the cloud storage service your chosen camera offers, both to extend the length of time your footage stays available and to keep a backup should you need to review old footage for a claim or to prevent evidence of something happening on or near your property.
