Why Should I Install Security Cameras?
Deterring criminal behavior is the number one reason to install home security cameras.
The threat of leaving behind recorded video footage of criminal activity is a powerful
deterrent. If your home is armed with a comprehensive
residential security system and surveillance cameras, there's a good chance
that the average burglar will look for an easier target down the street or in another
neighborhood.
Smart Video Security Cameras
Smart video surveillance cameras allow homeowners to log into live, and recorded,
video feeds through a smartphone to see what's happening while they're away. Smart
home cameras enable you to see who is coming and going, while maintaining awareness
of your surroundings.
3rd Party Monitoring of Home Security Cameras
Moon Security's video solutions allow you to receive instant notifications
and snapshots when a motion detector has signaled an alarm. Our certified Central
Station dispatchers can then quickly assess the situation and interact with responding
authorities, if necessary.
Integrating Your Home Security with Other Smart Video Equipment
One of the latest video security features to emerge in recent years is the HD video
doorbell. This doorbell functions exactly like a regular doorbell but has a built-in
motion detector, camera, and two-way voice communicator.
If someone arrives at your front door, a notification is sent to your phone,
even if they don't press the bell. You can pull up a live feed of the person at
your front door and speak with them, directly. Integrating video equipment with
other smart home features is helping families across Washington take their home
security to the next level.

Focal Lengths
The focal length of a lens is essentially the magnification of the picture. The
camera location and area of capture will determine your needed focal length. Here
is a comparison of how a video feed would look at several different focal lengths,
mounted in the same location:
Resolution
"Zoom and Enhance!" You can't create pixels out of thin air.
Magnifying an image will not necessarily create a more legible picture.
There is a wide spectrum of resolutions available on cameras today, so if you need
the ability to read the license plate from a vehicle on your street, then you'll
want the clear, crisp video that higher megapixel cameras can deliver. To better
illustrate the point, here is
a comparison of various resolutions offered on many cameras:
