I run a small computer tech company and I am growing concerned about theft as my inventory grows. I only have a three room shop and don't want to spend big bucks. Any suggestions on a low cost security camera solution. I need recording capability too, I can live with black and white but color would be nice.

Thanks

I would recommend you check out various cameras (and recorders) in person so you can get an idea of the quality of the picture.

Also make sure the lighting conditions are the same. Low light levels or back lighting will negatively impact the image quality.

A cheap system that produces images that are unintelligble is kinda pointless (you might as well get a dummy camera to scare your staff).

You probably should not have to spend big money. Security cameras have become more realistic in cost over the past few years. You don't anything too intricate or fancy so you may want to look into doing installation yourself. If you contact a security company to do it for you, you will pay double or even triple the cost.

Also, there's always Ebay and Amazon where you can get used cameras for cheaper, and sometimes even NEW cameras for cheaper. Worth a shot? I often get my stuff for cheaper on either sites :)

Greetings,

There is a new technological breakthrough which is the lowest cost security system on the market, and the easiest to set up and monitor, and only $19.95 per month. You can use any USB camera on market, or set up a WiFi wireless camera, it is up to you, the only thing we charge is for software system to allow you to monitor any location through your PC, Laptop or Cell Phone.

There are so many applications, and each one can be set up in minutes, a major advantage to home owners, business owners, schools, childcare, senior homes, wherever you need to monitor, you can set it up yourself saving a fortune on installation costs. If you move, you can take it with you, no hassle of purchasing another security system, it is portable, it goes with you with your computer. Web access allows you to access monitors from around the world.

Affiliate option to offset your $19.95 requires only a few referrals, and in a deep recession like this, who cannot afford $19.95 for true peace of mind?

Success to all,

Does anyone have any suggestions of a decent brand? I don't want cheap or a really expensive system but one that will do the job.

Why do you ask a question and include a link that seems to be the answer? If you are going to spam you could at least post two messages. First a question. Second a link with your answer!

Oh Brian from El Paso,

The link is a friends site which has a little bit of info on security cameras. (If others were interested in checking it out) No, it does not answer my question (or I wouldn't of asked it) and thanks for an answer and assuming I'm a spammer. I have nothing to sell and I'm not making any money. It was a simple, innocent question. Man..Anyhow..I got my answer from another site without ignorance and I would leave a link to it. Coz ohhh I'm spamming.

"Security System"

Well, you definitely would want to look at security systems if you have a home and a family to protect or at least that's how I feel.
