How surveillance cameras protect your home

At a time when home security is becoming increasingly important, surveillance cameras are an effective measure for preventing burglaries and strengthening the sense of security. According to the Police Crime Statistics (PKS), 77,819 cases of residential burglary were recorded nationwide in 2023, representing an increase of 18.1 percent over the previous year.

Functions of modern surveillance cameras

Modern surveillance cameras offer a variety of features that increase the security of your home:

• Motion detection : This feature detects movement in defined areas and sends immediate notifications to the homeowner if anomalies are detected.
• Infrared night vision : Enables clear images even in the dark, so potential intruders can be detected at any time.
• High resolution : Sharp images make it easier to identify people and vehicles.
• Remote access : Mobile apps allow you to access camera images in real time, no matter where you are.

Deterrent effect of surveillance cameras

The visible presence of surveillance cameras acts as a deterrent to potential burglars. Studies have shown that the installation of video surveillance systems significantly reduces the risk of burglary. For example, thefts from and to motor vehicles in parking garages have been reduced by approximately 40 percent, especially when combined with improved lighting and clear warning signs of video surveillance.

Support in the investigation of crimes

Should a burglary occur despite preventative measures, surveillance cameras provide valuable clues for identifying the perpetrator. The recorded images can help the police solve the crime and serve as evidence.

Integration into comprehensive security systems

Surveillance cameras are most effective when integrated into a holistic security system. Combined with alarm systems, motion detectors, and smart door locks, they create multi-layered protection that makes it difficult for burglars to break in.

Conclusion

Given the rising number of burglaries, it's more important than ever to implement appropriate security measures. Surveillance cameras not only provide effective protection against burglaries but also increase residents' subjective sense of security. Their deterrent effect and support in solving crimes make them a wise investment in your home's security.
