How to Pick Home Monitoring Device? There are Tricks to Select Quickly!

During the recent two years, home surveillance industry is very hot. The status that the generation after 80s are willing to accept new things and most of them have been parents, have accelerated the development of this industry. It also reflects that the modern emphasis on security. The joint of traditional security manufacturers and IT vendors promotes the development of home monitoring and smart home. But facing complex products, how do consumers in the end choose the most suitable home monitoring equipment?

Is Dual Camera helpful?

We must define our needs when buying home monitoring. And now some home monitoring devices are equipped with two cameras front and rear. Some products’ post cameras are just used for scanning the two-dimensional code to download and install client software to phone. And there are no more functions during common usage. This will not only increase the cost of purchase, low the utilization, so it is not recommended to buy this slick configuration.

It is necessary to have PTZ rotation!

To place device at home, we need confirm a problem that whether there requires PTZ rotation function. If no PTZ, the device just can monitor one position. Device with PTZ can control the rotation of the device through computer and the mobile client software. This can reach the area needed to view the video surveillance. From convenient and intelligent perspective, it is necessary to select device with PTZ rotation. But to choose 180 degrees or 355 degrees depends entirely on the demand of purchase.

Voice intercom plays a role of loud hailers.

Voice intercom function depends on personal preference. I personally still prefer this feature. If baby is at home, parents can still dialogue with baby at lunch time through this function. Also, if there encounters unexpected situations, the device can also play a role of loud hailers by voice intercom, thereby preventing further deterioration of the matter.

Night vision function extends the working hours.

Some home monitoring devices now have not night vision function. That is, the monitoring products become "illiteracy" at night without surveillance function. Surveillance device should also have night vision capabilities. When choose the function, we need to look at the parameters of low illumination. That is to say, at much of the low illumination, the device can continue to work.

Because device is used in the home, the aesthetics can not be ignored when choose product. It should be consistent with the overall home decor. There are also wide dynamic (WDR), strong light inhibition, etc. functions, which are chosen according to the needs of the users and our budget and the frequencies of function usage. It will be not necessary if we do not use some function, also the cost effective of products will be reduced.
