Choose the right outdoor camera: what criteria to take into account ?

We meet a great diversity of models on the market. They are generally distinguished by their connectivity (wired or wireless), their weather resistance (IP 65 or IP 68 certifications), the presence of an engine dedicated to remote control and of course their optical properties.

Check optical quality and night vision

The quality of the images captured by your external surveillance camera depends on two organs that are Optics (the lens) and the sensor (the electronic retina) . Optics mainly conditions the angle of view, scope and clarity of images. When it is of good quality, the images are clear and well lit, with no parasitic effect of distortion or bright halo. The sensor determines the definition of the digital image captured by the camera. Its size and the number of pixels that it is capable of restoring (often expressed in megapixels) will allow us to say if it is a high definition (720p) or full HD (1080p) camera (1080p).

The sensor and optics are finally associated with optional equipment which also participate in video quality or the possibilities offered by the device in terms of video surveillance. For example, it is recommended to Choose an outdoor surveillance camera with a night vision device (infrared projector) If you want to be able to monitor your garden, your entrance or your courtyard at night. Some outdoor cameras also haveOptical zoom that the user can remote control as he pleases to move the field of vision or enlarge a specific detail of the video flow transmitted live.

Ensure resistance to weathering

Who says external security camera says rain, wind, sand, pollution particles, dead leaves or attempted vandalism. If your camera is exposed to bad weather, take care to select a model displaying its compatibility with the IP (Protection Index) standard. The different levels of this standard mainly certify the sealing of the device. A camera meeting the IP 54 standard is for example protected against dust, but also against water projections. This element, however, is less important if your camera is installed under a shelter, an awning or a roof overhang.

Be careful, the camouflage look of a cheap HD HD IP camera does not guarantee that it is a weather -resistant model.

Ensure the possibilities of interaction with the alarm system

Did you know that some IP cameras integrate a motion detector to prevent the risk of burglary ? They are therefore able to send an alert when an intruder passes in their field of vision. Here it is important to choose a wifi camera capable of interfering with the security system, so that the house benefits from a double interior and exterior surveillance.

The wireless outdoor camera: essential for good exterior protection

Discovering after ordering that we bought a surveillance camera supplied in the mains when we thought it was installing it at the bottom of the garden is never a good surprise. To avoid disappointments, it is necessary to check the two elements that are network connectivity and power supply. Most of the general public -free exterior security cameras transmit their images through a WiFi link.

This widely used protocol allows you to simply add your safety camera to the devices connected by radio waves with the Internet box or the router used in the house. Be careful at the end of. The exact network coverage depends on your transmitter and the conditions of use (thickness of the walls, number of partitions to cross, but WiFi rarely exceeds a few tens of meters. So check that the location used for your camera is well within your boxes of your box. A wifi repeater can if necessary extend the network coverage.

Same topo for power supply. Some wireless external surveillance cameras need a sector outlet to operate. This is the case, for example, of the devices designed to permanently monitor a house entrance or a garage door, which are sometimes the subject of an electrical circuit drawn from the table. Conversely, some outdoor security cameras operate thanks to lithium-ion batteries or batteries.

The exterior camera with recording: an advantage in the event of an intrusion

Installing a video surveillance system and filming images from your home to ensure remote external monitoring is a relevant initiative. Be able to record these images and present them to the police or to its insurer in the event of intrusion or burglary represents an additional advantage. To do this, some exterior surveillance cameras are with a recorder allowing to benefit from Several hours recording images or even a continuous recording.

The exterior surveillance camera with recorder works like the other surveillance cameras with the difference that it records everything it films. Most models of cameras with recording An SD card to ensure Image storage But it is also possible to record images on the cloud.

The ideal is that the surveillance camera with recorder is fitted with a microphone and a speaker to record the images on the SD card but also the sound associated with it.

Some models of surveillance cameras with recording are specific to being connected to the motion detector and the alarm system. So, As soon as an intrusion is detected by the motion sensor, video recording automatically sets out for ten seconds.

The recorded images will be useful for the remote monitoring center which will be able to consult them to make the lifting of doubt, but also to take the steps With insurance: the external surveillance camera with recorder provides proof in images.

Install your outdoor surveillance camera

The choice of location is an important point: the camera must be able to observe the area that interests you in all discretion, With a clear view and if possible correct lighting, all without filming the public highway To stay in the nails of the legislation on compliance with privacy.

If you hesitate on the procedure, do not hesitate to turn to a specialized installer, who will guide you in the installation of your surveillance system.

The installation of a camera for the garden implies a prior reflection on the location from which it will monitor your exterior with a double issue.

The first is to guarantee the proper functioning your camera. If it uses a WiFi -type wireless link, you must for example make sure that the camera is well within transmission range of your router or the Internet box acting as a gateway. In the case of a wire -powered camera (mains or ethernet cable cord via the POE standard), the location will of course be chosen according to the available sockets or the route of the outdoor sheaths.

Second issue: guarantee relevant monitoring. Using video surveillance to remotely control a thuyas hedge has no interest, and it would be counterproductive to place cameras in front of each door, window or furniture. The position of the external surveillance camera will therefore depend on your safety objectives. You wish monitor the aisle which leads to your home to detect the presence of possible intruders ? Install a discreet surveillance camera in height on one of the walls of your home. Laying sheltered from a roof overhang, it will encompass the entire area that leads from your gate to your front door.

You prefer to focus your vigilance on the place of your plot where You park your car at night ? Position your camera above your garage door, or hide it in the hollow of a neighboring tree, ensuring that its field of action is limited to your land. It is indeed forbidden to film the public highway or the property of a neighbor.

Install an outdoor surveillance camera on your terrace

The terrace is one of the bonded crossing points for burglars who prowl around a house in order to identify access. The action of a video surveillance system therefore applies very well to the terraces, pergolas, pool houses and other summer kitchens, especially if you store equipment that can represent a market value for thieves. At this level, select a height location, to offer the best possible viewing angle to your camera, and Turn your goal towards the place that seems to you to represent the essential crossing point a night visitor to maximize the chances of detection.

Monitor an alley or the entrance to his house

In most cases, The wireless surveillance camera is intended to monitor the aisle, the courtyard or the path that leads to the front door of the house. In this way, it allows you to monitor access, day and night, and usefully completed the possibilities offered by an interior house alarm. In the event of alerts received in the form of notification from its safety system on their smartphone, the user will for example be able to quickly control the presence of an intruder thanks to his outdoor camera. Ditto in the event of an alarm with remote monitoring: the visualization of images helps the operator to get a precise idea of ​​the reason for the alert.

Finally note thatAn external security camera can also play a deterrent role. This is what pushes some individuals to install a dummy camera outdoors. But you can just as easily opt for a surveillance camera whose operation is very real. In this case, the objective is no longer discretion, as with a spy camera: that time, we will seek to highlight the camera to report to intruders the presence of a video surveillance system.
