High Resolution Day/Night Security Camera

This security camera could quite possibly be the best camera on the market.

In my continuing effort to keep you up to date on the best security gadgets for your home, this high resolution bullet camera deserves notable attention.

Security cameras are used for many purposes these days. They are almost everywhere.  Maybe you’re a business owner that wants to keep an eye on unreliable employees or thieves stealing from your business or maybe a homeowner that wants to know what’s going on around your property when you are not there. Whatever the reason, a security camera is a great tool for protection.

There are 5 reasons that make this camera a very good choice for your surveillance purposes:

  1. Records day or night in any light
  2. Reduces "grainy" video with special DNR technology
  3. Auto light sensitivity
  4. 650 TV Lines - high resolution
  5. Rugged housing to withstand harsh outdoor elements


Records Day or Night:


This camera uses the same technology that is found in night vision goggles. It has 72 infrared LED's (Light Emitting Diodes),  that illuminate dark surroundings and can record in low-light and even in complete darkness.

DNR Technology:

Another feature that puts this camera above the others is that most cameras display very grainy video during the nighttime - or what we in the industry call “noise.” This camera features Digital Noise Reduction that automatically blocks out those grainy images you see from most security cameras.

Auto Light Sensitivity:

This hi res security camera also has another nice piece of technology -ATR (Adaptive Tone Reproduction). ATR improves visibility of the entire picture by automatically adjusting contrast and brightness in locations that are too bright or even too dim.

High Resolution:

The camera also comes with the newest, state of the art, image signal processing called SONY EFFIO-E that allows for close caption video resolutions that are much higher than previous technology.

It has a resolution of 650 TV Lines (TVL), which is 30% higher than normal security Cameras. (TV lines are the amount of picture resolution or sharpness. The greater the number of TV lines, the better the resolution and overall picture quality).

Indoors or Outdoors:

I like this camera because it is ideal for outdoors.Some security cameras that are advertised as indoor/outdoor cameras are basically indoor cameras that come with a cover that can be put on the camera for installing outdoors. This is like putting a coat on the camera and is not truly a camera made to withstand harsh elements. This bullet camera comes with a rugged waterproof housing that will withstand the harshest elements Mother Nature has to throw its way. Rain sleet snow or extreme heat, this camera will perform.

Just one other neat feature I would like to add about this camera is the setting features. The on screen menu is controlled by a joy stick that is located on the cord. This makes it relatively easy to make setting adjustments without have to fumble with the camera or take it down.

This security camera deserves a high rating and is great for anyone who is serious about a high quality solution for their surveillance system. It's sold by just about every security retailer on the web and for under $175 it won't disappoint.

How to Protect your Home

So let's get started - Why you need a home security protection plan.

Technology is rapidly changing. The bad guys are getting smarter and craftier at gaining access to your home, your identity, your computer or anything else that belongs to you.

When it comes to your home or personal safety, crime prevention is basically up to you. While our police and public officials do a noble job in trying to protect us, home security boils down to our responsibility. There are only so many police officers to go around and they can't be everywhere at once.

I saw a statistic somewhere that there is 1 police officer for every 600 or so American citizens. So the odds that crime will 'pay' you a visit, is very high. In fact, the FBI reports in 2012, a property crime occurred every 3.5 seconds in the U.S. - Whoa, go back and read that statement again - 3.5 seconds!

So this is why you need a home security plan. Sooner or later your home will be targeted by theives. Protecting your home is not rocket science, you just need to know what to do. And with today's great technology, it's easier than ever to find the right gadgets to protect your home.

Security cameras, home alarms, surveillance systems and so on have become extremely affordable and for many people who can hold a screwdriver or use a drill, many of these systems can be installed by yourself.

So sit back, bookmark this page and come back often while I show you the best security gadgets for your home and how you can protect yourself. In the meantime, you can check out some of the security gadgets available at my website: The Home Security Outlet
