How to prevent outdoor surveillance camera from being stolen?

We have a warehouse and installed outdoor camera along our wall to surveiling our parking lot and backyard inventory. Recently we have people stealing our camera and the police have no way of catching them and not bother to do anything about it. My questions is… how could we protect the camera that we installed outside our building from being stolen again? It’s been stolen 3 times already. Please advise if you have any suggestion.

An IP Security Camera Is a Safe Bet For Home Security

By Scott Watkins

An IP security camera uses your home’s internet connection to transmit the video that it captures over the air so that you can see the footage while you are not at home. It’s becoming common practice to easily use remote video surveillance cameras. People are using IP security cameras to inexpensively watch over and monitor locations remotely.

How An IP Security Camera Works

These types of camera have hardware and firmware to transmit the video over the internet, in essence becoming another website. Anyone with the URL of the camera, and the proper login credentials, can watch the video.There is an option in almost every IP Security Camera that enables sending the imagery over a private network so that only you can view the footage and not anyone else. This keeps the video from the camera secure and private, so that your video is not broadcast to the whole of the internet.

IP Security Camera Practical Uses

If you are away from your house for longer periods of time, there is every chance that during a break-in the thieves may steal your computer and take away all of the footage that the camera had captured against them. An IP Security Camera can be set up to constantly transmit video to you which can be automatically saved into your hard disk. This way you will always be able to watch the video at some later time, and if your main home/office computer is stolen, you still have the video of the thieves.

Thus, an IP Camera would be a life saver if someone breaks into your house and removes all other evidence from the house which would have led to all sorts of problems with catching the thief if the video had not been broadcast to you.

You can also allow other people you trust to watch the live video. For example if there is a babysitter at home and the parents are away, you can let the parents and even the grandparents of the child to keep an eye on the house to check if any untoward activity is going on such as the babysitter inviting unwanted people to your residence.

Get Creative and Install an IP Camera In Your System Today

Along with wired IP security cameras, there are wireless versions as well. The wired camera plugs in to any standard network router, while the wireless one will communicate with any common wireless router. These are a few of the ways that an IP security camera can be a great use to you.

Wireless Security Camera Overview

First Generation Wireless Security Cameras

The early “analog” cameras send out the video signal to a receiver, which can be then connected to either a video monitor or a recording device, such as a video tape recorder, or digital video recording system (DVR). Note that most of them operate over the 2.4 GHz band, the same band that a lot of other household wireless appliances, such as cordless phones and video game controllers, operate on. Additionally, microwave ovens operate at 2.45 GHz, and radio controlled toys also use the 2.4 GHz band. You can see there are many possible causes of interference when using these kinds of cameras. Not only can the camera interfere with the other devices, it works both ways – the other equipment may interfere with the camera’s signal, causing low quality video.

Analog Wireless Security Cameras Have These Advantages:

* They Cost Less:
* They can be used with more than one receiver;
* You can use as many as 12 cameras with a single receiver;
* Setup and installation are easy. You can have a wireless video security system operational very quickly, and at low cost.

Analog Camera Disadvantages:

* Shares frequency band with other common electronic devices;
* The signal can be intercepted and viewed by anyone with a receiver;
* Easily interfered with.

For installations where there are a lot of physical obstructions, look into installing a system using 900MHz transmission. For small systems, where only 1 or 2 cameras are required, the 900 MHz versions may be an excellent solution.

For more channels, up to 12, look at 2.4 GHz wireless cameras. Since there are many devices now that use this frequency range, you may have interference.

There is less interference when using wireless cameras based on the 5.8 GHz spectrum. There are 8 channels available (so you can have up to 8 cameras). For best results only use 5.8 GHz wireless when there are few physical obstacles. Walls and other objects cause signal degradation.

Transmitter Power Output Affects Signal Strength and Distance

When selecting an analog wireless security camera system, make sure you find out the transmission power and determine whether this will be enough to overcome any obstacles in your system.

Most claims of distance are for line-of-sight transmission, where there are no obstacles between the camera’s antenna and the receiver’s antenna. This rarely happens. Factors such as distance, weather, trees, buildings, walls all have an affect. Due to the short wavelength of 5.8 GHz signals, they have the most difficulty of the 3 frequencies available to pass through obstacles.

Digital Wireless Security cameras

Digital security cameras are more sophisticated than analog wireless cameras. The digital video signal may be compressed or uncompressed, before it is sent to the receiver, where it will be re-converted to baseband for viewing, unless it is an IP camera (discussed below). The transmission frequency is usually 2.4 GHz, however, because it is digital, there are fewer interference problems.

Transmission power is usually 16dBm, which is a bit under the typical wireless router power.

Advantages Of A Digital Wireless Security Camera:

* The range of transmission of the signal is as much as 450 feet with line of sight between camera and receiving station;
* Video and audio quality higher than analog;
* Allows for audio communication to remote site;
* Digital video can be encrypted, to maintain security of the images.

Connecting a Wireless Security Camera To a Local Area Network

Wireless security cameras are now available that can connect through a local area network over IEEE 802.11b/g WiFi systems. The camera has it’s own IP address on your network, and can be viewed using a browser.
