If you want to keep track of what is happening at your home or workplace, and at the same time want to be sure that everything is protected, you should definitely consider purchasing a security camera. If you also want peace of mind while on the road, a dashcam will be useful, as it can record traffic accidents or inappropriate behavior from other drivers. Recordings from your camera can also be helpful, for example, for the police.

Security Cameras

Network cameras, also known as IP cameras, are primarily used to monitor your property. Most often, people install them in their homes to be aware of any suspicious movement or to keep an eye on their pets. Such cameras are also often part of businesses and facilities, installed by their owners.

IP cameras operate via wireless internet transmission, with recorded material usually stored on external storage. You can watch the live feed from the camera on your smartphone or computer, allowing you to always stay informed about what is happening. They are categorized into outdoor and indoor cameras, depending on where you need to install them.

When choosing a network camera, you should not underestimate the decision. You should also consider the following parameters, which will help you select the best camera for your needs:

Resolution – This is one of the most important indicators. The higher the camera resolution, the more detailed and sharper the resulting image will be. Higher resolution is particularly useful if you need to identify people or smaller objects on the recording.

Field of View – Usually expressed in degrees, it represents the area the camera can capture. Some IP cameras record only a 120° angle, while others offer up to 360° and can rotate.

Night Vision – Not all cameras have quality night recording. If you want to monitor images 24 hours a day, it is advisable to choose cameras with night vision. In this case, pay attention to the camera’s aperture, indicated as f/x (for example, f/2.5). A lower number means better light sensitivity.

Data Transmission Method – The least practical but most reliable method is wired transmission. The most commonly used method is via WiFi. If you don’t have internet access, you can get a camera with a SIM card slot. The transmission will occur through a mobile data connection.

Power Supply – The camera needs electricity to operate. Most commonly, a power cable is used. Some camera types and models include a rechargeable battery, which needs periodic charging. In such cases, a constant power source is not required.

Audio Transmission – A camera may also include a built-in microphone or speaker. With a microphone, the camera records sound along with video. With a speaker, it allows two-way communication, so you can speak to someone on the other side through the camera.

Memory Card – Camera data is usually stored on remote storage, accessible for a certain period. If you want to ensure that your recordings are safe, choose a camera with an SD card slot. The information will also be stored directly on the card, which makes handling the recording easier. Be sure to choose a card with sufficient capacity.

Regarding camera prices, they range from a few dozen to hundreds of euros. If you want high-quality recordings, monitor all the essential parameters. Price should not be your primary concern.

Dashcams

Do you drive frequently or just want a greater sense of security while traveling? In that case, it is a good idea to get a dashcam. Unlike security cameras, dashcams are designed specifically for installation in a vehicle and are used to monitor traffic. They can also provide evidence if your vehicle suffers damage.

Most dashcams only record what happens in front of your vehicle, but dual dashcams also record what happens behind you. This is useful, for example, if someone collides with your car.

As with IP cameras, resolution is an important factor for dashcams. The minimum resolution should be HD, with Full HD being preferable. You should also pay attention to the field of view, which typically ranges from 120° to 150°.

Recordings are stored on a memory card, and less commonly on the internal memory of the dashcam. The maximum supported memory size is an important parameter—the higher the number, the more recordings you can store.

There are two types of dashcam power supply. The first requires connection to the vehicle’s electrical system, which limits recording when the car is parked. A more practical option is a built-in battery. Battery capacity is usually small, so remember to recharge it regularly.

In addition to these essential parameters, you should also consider the following useful dashcam features:

Automatic Start – The camera does not need to be turned on manually; it automatically starts when the engine is turned on and the vehicle begins moving. This prevents forgetting to start recording.

GPS Module – In addition to recording video, the dashcam records the vehicle’s location and the areas it has been.

Motion Detector – The camera starts recording whenever it detects movement, especially useful when the vehicle is parked. This feature is also called Parking Mode.

Loop Recording – When the memory card is full, the dashcam does not stop recording; it automatically overwrites old data. Footage you don’t want to lose can be marked as non-deletable.

Night Mode – Especially useful if you often drive in the evening or at night when visibility is lower. Night mode ensures the footage remains of good quality.
