Wireless security camera systems, whether they are for outdoor surveillence or to improve home (indoor) security, are a major investment.

Security cameras – crime deterrents or not?

On May 26th, 2010 by | No Comments | Posted in Home Safety

There is an important question asked about security cameras and whether they deter crime and criminal activity. Proponents say that, yes, security cameras stifle crime, whereas those on the other side say that security cameras are ineffective, or they only deflect crime to another area. While there are plenty of reports that state CCTV surveillance is ineffective at reducing crime rates — these reports focus on public placement of security cameras — on the streets, in other words.
