Remote surveillance has become increasingly popular over the last few years. As everything else has migrated to the internet, so have video surveillance and security. Thanks to the proliferation of broadband, and the increasing data throughput it makes possible, a remote surveillance camera in Bangkok can now be viewed in Boston, or anywhere else its owner might travel.

Remote surveillance cameras can be set up to need little to no maintenance, and can be paired with a motion detection or remote control system. These tools can give the remote operator almost as much control as being right there in the room. The recording system can often be set up to begin recording only when motion is detected. This conserves space on the hard drive or other recording medium, and saves the owner time in scanning through hours of empty footage.

Thanks to broadband internet, the frames per second of a modern remote surveillance system puts even the best Hollywood film cameras to shame. Frames per second regularly match or exceed the 24 frames per second of film cameras, and a high-end remote surveillance camera can send a signal of 200 frames per second or even higher.

The streaming video from a remote surveillance camera can be watched live and discarded, or it can be saved to a PC hard drive. Remote surveillance video can then cataloged, edited and logged with the use of various software. The computer should be powerful if video quality is to be maintained, and a good video card is a must. To ensure the safety of your surveillance devices, a whole house surge protector is also a wise choice.

An excellent alternative to a PC hard drive for receiving and storing video from remote surveillance cameras is a DVR system. These also contain hard drives, but they are made specifically for the purpose of receiving and recording video. The embedded system in a DVR has only one job, and is thus far less likely to lock up or freeze than a PC-based system.

The highest-end remote surveillance cameras come with a feature known as “PTZ”, or pan-tilt-zoom. This allows the camera to be moved by remote control, zoomed in, tilted, and generally act as it a camera operator was right there on scene. These PTZ cameras are used in many public feeds of remote surveillance cameras which are streamed publicly on the internet – these include many well-known monuments, public buildings and national parks.

The most expensive features like PTZ might not be in your budget right now, but for a few hundred dollars, you can have one or more excellent remote surveillance cameras and all the hard drive space you need to use them.
