SECURITY SYSTEMS live-viewing functionality on their smart device . For quality imaging , opt for a 1080HD camera , checking that it includes night vision for 24-hour monitoring .
Other handy features to look out for include intelligent detection that triggers recording when motion is detected , storage that allows users to record and review footage and intelligent search , which highlights events within the timeline allowing users to pinpoint specific activity .
Some CCTV systems , including Yale ’ s model , have an ‘ Image Masking ’ feature as standard , which can be controlled and monitored by the Yale View App .
Image masking allows users to select the areas that need to be covered by the motion detection feature , monitoring the specific areas which require coverage . Not only does this provide complete control for users , but homeowners can also ensure they are complying with privacy laws and not collecting footage from neighbouring homes .
We would always advise anyone using outdoor cameras to ensure their positioning complies with legal obligations under data protection laws . And as a security specialist you can provide the required information to your customers , specifically for their home and CCTV system .
