Resolution

This is one of the most important features to look for. The area you want to cover will determine the resolution of the camera. Wide areas need high resolution cameras, and smaller area will need low resolution cameras.

Color

Generally, you will get superior low-light images at higher resolution for less cost. On the contrary, color cameras are good for well-lit area. However, sometimes color images can be invaluable. You should consider the benefits of each before choosing one.

Tracking anything that Moves

There are some security cameras that can detect movement and self-activate. This way, the camera will not have to run nonstop all through the day. Choose one with memory buffer.

Low-Light Sensitivity

Your camera should have low-light sensitivity. It will allow you to see in the dark. Most outdoor cameras have infrared capability that can detect heat signatures up to 150 feet away.

Weather-Proof Feature

Outdoor cameras come with weather-proof feature. Therefore, you need not worry about it. Outdoor cameras have IP (Ingress Protection) rating. This will indicate how well the camera resists from water and dust.

Camera with or without Motion

You will find fixed cameras cost-effective. However, there are times when some motion is needed. PTZ cameras are great for this. They can be really helpful for finding important details in a crowded place. However, a human operator will need to be on duty for this.

Image Stabilization

This is an important feature. Your camera should have built-in image stabilization. Read the details before buying to be completely sure about the feature on that particular camera.

Sound

If you need to hear the sound, you need to make sure that the camera you intend to buy has that feature.

Know the Law

Different states have different rules regarding the use of security camera. Additionally, the rules regarding the use of a camera in home may vary from the use of a camera in a commercial place.

 Consider these factors, and you will be able to get the right security camera system for you.
