2. Deters Crime

 

Criminals are much less likely to target a house with installed home security alarm systems. This may even extend to other houses within the vicinity as criminals are far less likely to target a monitored surrounding. The benefits of home alarm systems can be shared with the neighbourhood and thus making it a safe place for everyone.

 

3. Out of town protection

 

The safety of our homes is often a major concern when we are out of town. This matter is even more prevalent for frequent travellers. It may be a constant concern on our mind as our homes are left unattended for extended periods of time. However, installing a home security alarm system offers peace of mind to the traveller as out of town protection is ensured as well. You can celebrate your long holiday such as Hari Raya without worrying your house being broke in.

4. Lower insurance costs

One of the benefits of alarm systems often went unnoticed, which is having lower insurance premium costs. Some insurance companies offer lowered home insurance premium costs if a home security alarm system is installed. This can be taken into consideration if one thinks that the initial cost of installing a home security alarm system is unjustified.

5. Improves electricity management

Modern home security alarm systems are more than just means to prevent crime. Nowadays, some systems also come installed with PGM control for added electricity management. The benefits include saving up on electricity bills as the system can be programmed to optimize usage. You can turn on / off electrical devices from your phone to reduce electricity usage. Plus, another benefit of security systems with these functions built in is that it will also notify whenever there is electricity or fire problems. This can potentially avoid disasters caused by faulty plugs or components.

WHAT IS THE MAIN PURPOSE OF ACCESS CONTROL?

By Highlight

Access control is a term generally used to describe the mechanism for the authorization of certain parties to access specific resources. These resources may be physical such as paper documents, bank vaults and warehouse items. Other resources may be encrypted user information, bank transaction records or simply the safety of employees within a building. Having a security access control system regulates and controls access to these resources.

The main purpose of access control is to provide security by allowing or restricting access to these resources by any party or individual. This is usually done as a security measure to protect those resources from unauthorized access or usage. Simple systems will simply allow or deny access while modern sophisticated systems can allow for intelligent decision making by onboard processors. Remote access can even be granted to visitors or contractors that do not have personal authorization for added convenience.

The need for security has increased over the years with advanced door access security systems utilizing biometric sensors in place of a simple lock and key. The rapid development stems from the increased awareness and need to protect valuable resources from unauthorized access and theft. A functional door access system can be as simple as having an identification card, to having multi-factor authentication and biometric iris scanners. They all essentially work the same way by allowing one to recognize and identify the party requesting access to said resources.

Modern systems even allow for tracking and keeping a backlog record of the frequency and amount of access done. This allows employers to monitor movement and trace access to resources. Incorporation of a camera to your door access system can allow for facial recognition of employees and visitors for added security.

WHAT IS THE BEST HOME OUTDOOR SECURITY CAMERA?

By Highlight

Setting up outdoor home security cameras is not easy considering the number of factors to consider. From the brand to the specifications of each camera, some may get overwhelmed by the options available.

If you are searching for the best home outdoor security camera, there are some factors that should be taken into consideration in making your choice. The purpose of setting up security cameras is to offer surveillance of the targeted area. This means that the camera should have a fairly competent lens and recording resolution for video clarity. The powerful AX340 – Magtec AHD IR Bullet Camera offers a 5.0 megapixel camera for a high definition outdoor video recording. Higher definition allows the user to zoom in during playbacks without experiencing image distortion or blur.

AX340

Besides having a powerful lens, having lens that can be manually adjusted on the fly is very useful as well. The AX605 – Magtec AHD IR Bullet Camera is equipped with a flexible varifocal lens which allows the camera to manually zoom in on targeted areas. Compared to digital zooming, manual zoom avoids distortion and blurring of images. This allows for greater flexibility as it is usually difficult to find a strategic place to house the camera. The added capacity of zooming makes it more convenient to install outdoor security cameras. With an excellent night view with built-in infrared function, both of these cameras even ensure that your home will be under secure surveillance even when the sun sets. This is especially important as security is mostly jeopardized when it is dark.

AX605

As outdoor home security cameras operate within an unregulated climate, it is crucial to have weatherproof systems to avoid break downs. The tropical climate in Malaysia exposes the cameras to heat and humidity that can cause problems for your camera. A solid waterproof camera can prevent water vapour condensation within it which could blur up the lenses. Overheating of components that run all the time when exposed to the sun can also cause it to break down as well. Our selection of Magtec IR bullet cameras are built to be weatherproof to guarantee a worry-free operation for our clients. Each camera even comes installed with a secure and strong bracket to prevent breakage.

Setting up outdoor home security cameras can be one of the best ways to keep your home and loved ones safe and secure. Magtec offers a range of quality and affordable outdoor security cameras that will definitely make your space a safer place.

The last component that many might overlook is the power supply. A good and reliable power supply is vital as it provides power to the entire system. Components should be made from good quality materials for optimized voltage usage and heat dissipation such as the NVS1250A4C- 4CH Power Adapter. Finding one which offers surge protection can even prevent your CCTV cameras from failing during a lightning storm.

While it varies on a client basis, CCTV camera installation is not as expensive as you would have expected.

WHAT ARE THE 5 MOST IMPORTANT THINGS IN A CCTV SYSTEM?

By Highlight

Before you install a CCTV system at your premise, there are a few important things that you should take note of before investing a large sum into a valuable tool.

1. Night Vision

If you’re using a CCTV for night recordings, you will have to choose one that offers good night vision. When the environment becomes dark, meaning that it has a low LUX (lumens per square meter), a good quality CCTV system should capture everything clearly in black and white with the help of its infrared LED. High-grade CCTV cameras such as the Magtec AX series, produce non-pixelated images in low-light conditions, enabling you to view a person’s face clearly with no noise at all.

2. Areas to cover

What are the areas that you would like the CCTV to cover at your premise? Whether it’s your front yard, backyard, office or shop corridor, you’ll need to make sure that the CCTVs have the right coverage in these areas. You don’t want to be missing out on any corners or prominent spots where people can come and leave without being recorded. Professional CCTV system installers will help survey the premise and understand the operations of a place to identify the spots with high vulnerability. Image might appear too small if CCTV camera is installed too far away from target area. Using the correct lens will zoom in to the target area so that the target area will appear big enough for meaningful viewing.

3. Wired or wireless

Traditional wired CCTVs have a more stable data transmission because it isn’t prone to interference or unstable internet connections like how a wireless CCTV would. On the contrary, a wireless CCTV is mobile and much easier to install as there is no need to drill holes for wiring works. Thus, you can change where you put it without much trouble. Compare their pros and cons prior to the purchase, then consider both options based on your criteria.

4. Storage

There are 2 ways to store the recorded videos – hard disk and cloud storage. Cloud storage requires less maintenance because the providers manage the upgrades and issues of the cloud storage. Unlike a hard disk, you do not have to often replace it, all you have to do is notify the service provider to increase or decrease space. On the other hand, with hard disk storage, you have control over the data anytime, even without the internet. It also prevents your data from being stolen via network hacking. It is important to use hard disk designed for CCTV purpose to ensure the hard disk can withstand constant 24 hours non-stop data writing.

5. Resolution

Depending on your premise and your needs, CCTV video resolutions can be a key factor for your CCTV system requirements. QCIF videos are lowest in quality with pixels of 176 x 120, and 5MP videos are the highest with pixels of 2592 x 1944. Of course, it’s best to get CCTVs with high pixels because it’s definitely clearer. Even when you zoom into a video showing the back of a car from a distance, you’ll still be able to see its car plate number.
