We are constantly making improvements in camera resolution and the ease of set up for you to be able to access your camera video footage remotely. Our types of security camera systems run from the basic type of system for the homeowner who wishes to watch a certain part of the house when the child is home alone to more sophisticated security camera systems for a business owner who needs to monitor several locations in his business. The prices of our security camera systems range from the hundreds to the thousands. There is a security camera for everyone. Feel free to contact our customer care personnel for any clarity that you may need.

In this article we are going to take you through all the steps that you need to follow when setting up your IP security camera.

1. First Make sure you that you have all the necessary equipment you need before starting the installation. You will need a WiFi or broadband internet connection from a service provider. You will also need a device that can access the internet such as a smartphone, tablet or a computer unless you are planning on purchasing a monitor specifically for the security cameras.

To determine the security camera surveillance system you need you first have to note down the reasons as to why you need a security camera.

If you want to investigate a family member or someone you live with then a simple hidden camera is a better option but if you are trying to protect the property in your house then you will need a more sophisticated surveillance system.

2. The second step is for you to determine the number of security camera you will need to install. A small house with one or two rooms will not need the same number of cameras a a large corporate building. Most of our security camera systems packages come in 8-camera and 4-camera units.

3. Choose the location in the house or building that you are going to mount your security cameras. For example, the porch or the entrances to your house.mounting your cameras.

4. Mount the camera hardware. This is the most handy part of the installation but it is also fun. You will likely need a few screws that come with the cameras, a power drill, and mounting brackets. These hardware will come with the cameras so you don't need to purchase extra hardware. IP cameras do not require wiring and cables like other cameras. Make sure you read the camera manual for tips on installation.

5. Install the software that came with the security camera surveillance package.

This software will allow your computer or the device you are using to network with the wireless receiver that is getting signals from the cameras. Our software will also allow you to record the video footage over the Internet. Don't forget to install the motion detectors so that the video footage is recorded only when motion is detected.
