Safety in darkness: the advantage of infrared CCTV cameras


While criminals might target your business at any time, day or night, it is no secret that they often choose to operate under the cover of darkness.

Night offers protection from prying eyes, with fewer potential witnesses, and all too often people arrive at their place of work in the morning only to find signs of an intrusion and missing property or vandalism.

That is why it is important to ensure you are monitoring your business at all times, and the best way to do this is with an infrared CCTV camera.

These work differently to regular cameras as they are able to detect and convert heat energy into an electrical signal, which can then be converted into a representative image.

Infrared cameras are an ideal option for outdoor shooting as they offer a far superior picture in low light conditions. However modern infrared cameras are also adept at indoor shooting as well, or for capturing any area where variable light conditions might make a regular CCTV camera less ideal.

One of the best options in this field is the WZ18 Integrated IR Bullet Camera, which uses a 1/3 in CCD image sensor to offer excellent high resolution image quality at a depth of up to 20 metres.

This camera is also very easy to adjust and offers flexible viewing angles, meaning you can shift coverage between different areas as required.

The WZ18 Integrated IR Bullet Camera utilises a dual window IR-Cut and IR-Pass filter and mechanical filter technology allowing it eliminate focus shift and infrared bleed.
This makes it the perfect camera for capturing vivid images during the day and quality infrared picture at night.

However there are many other CCTV cameras on the market that offer infrared image capturing and it is well worth considering your options and identifying one which is right for you.

By choosing an infrared security solution, you can not only increase the protection of your business but you can also help work towards a safer community as well.

Daylight savings reminder: check your home alarm

Next Sunday (October 7) marks the start of daylight savings for the summer of 2012-13, and households in NSW, Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania, and the ACT will all be setting their clocks forward one hour in order to take advantage of the warmer weather. Daylight savings is a fantastic opportunity for you to perform a few important tasks around the home. For example, we are often encouraged to change the batteries in our smoke alarms at this time of year, to ensure they are fully charged and ready for an emergency. Another thing you might want to check, and something that many people fail to take into consideration, is whether the batteries in your  home alarm system  are fully charged and working correctly. Wireless alarm systems  are a great choice for people wanting to cut down on installation and reduce the amount of cables in their homes; however the trade off is that these systems rely on battery power. If you have an alarm system with old, expired or dead batteries, then
