Expert tip
Networked outdoor cameras can secure the property over a wide area. However, I pay particular attention to a few things: sensitive areas, including the neighbouring property, must not be captured by the cameras. In addition, I always use high-quality models from well-known brands for property surveillance. In addition to obvious reasons such as durability, battery life, image quality and weather resistance, I can rely on excellent data encryption and the fact that the software is regularly updated to prevent unauthorised access."
