ADT Monitored Home Security System or CCTV Surveillance Camera System. Which is More Effective?
The question every security system specialist in the industry is constantly faced with is whether a customer should opt to install a surveillance camera system or go with a monitored home security system. Of course the obvious answer would be that the consumer should see both as a priority and should choose to install both the burglar alarm as well as the CCTV camera system. In fact today Honeywell makes an module which interconnects your CCTV system to your burglar alarm system so that in the event of a burglar alarm activation, the CCTV system would immediately send you an email and images to any Blackberry type phone service. But in the real world we know that not everyone can afford to install both a camera system and a monitored home alarm. So it leaves the question of, if I have to choose one, which should I choose? It is definitely a difficult question because of how highly effective yet very different from each other these two systems are. So in order to make a more educated decision we will look at how each of these security choices can make a difference in providing the sense of security we each need.
