When it comes to protecting your home, there are several options to deter opportunistic thieves or monitor visitors at your door. Two of the most popular choices, CCTV systems and smart doorbell cameras, each offer distinct advantages. So, how do you decide which is best for your home? The following guide should help you make the right choice.
CCTV systems are designed for comprehensive, multi-point surveillance of your home. A CCTV system typically comprises several cameras positioned around your property, all of which feed into a central recorder or app. CCTV is ideal for large homes, outbuildings, or properties with multiple entry points.
Doorbell cameras, such as Ring, Blink or Google Nest, focus on your front door. They detect motion at your door and record short clips. They can even allow you to see and speak to visitors through your smartphone, which is helpful when you’re away from home.
Generally speaking, installing a video doorbell camera is easier than setting up a CCTV system, which ideally requires a professional.
Of course, there’s no reason why you can’t have both – CCTV for general security and a smart doorbell for everyday convenience.
