Covert vs. Non Covert Cameras

Tips on How to Select the Right Camera

If you, like many of our customers, know you need a camera but don’t know exactly what type, think carefully about your application. We’ve included some helpful information below on the types of cameras and how they may be put to use. If you are a business owner or operator, we have some special considerations for you:

If your primary goal is to deter potential thieves, you do not need a covert camera. For this application, we recommend a small and unobtrusive camera system. As your goal is to remind employees and potential thieves that someone is watching, the camera may be placed in a location that is clearly visible to all. In addition, you do not need to find a hidden place to set up the DVR. If this is your application, we have three common styles of unobtrusive cameras pictured below, or give us a call and let our trained professionals help you find the right product to best suit your needs. If you wish to covertly monitor your employees or customers, we can certainly offer a variety of products to suit your needs. However, as we believe in putting our customers first, we want to point out to you the following considerations:

Covert cameras cost more.
You will need to ensure that not only is your camera hidden, but that the DVR and/or monitor are hidden as well. It only takes one employee to spread the word that a camera is in use and where it is located.
Do you really want to fire and go through the expense of retraining personnel, or do you want to deter wayward behavior from happening in the first place?
Perhaps you need a combination of covert and unobtrusive cameras.

Key Factors for Smarter Security Choices

Some additional things to consider

At Hitek Electronic Security, Inc., we offer both wired and wireless camera systems, ensuring you get the best solution for your security needs.

Wireless or Wired Cameras?

At Hitek Electronic Security, Inc., we offer wired and wireless cameras, as well as wireless transmitters that you can use with any of our cameras to make it wireless.

Wireless cameras and transmitters are perfect for hard to reach installations, or when a road or other type of structure separates the camera from the “monitoring station” where you have your recorder and monitor set up. Being that they are easy to install, they are also great to use if you are “technologically impaired” or are intimidated by the idea of running cable through your structure. However, as with any electrical device that uses radio waves to transmit a signal, there is the possibility of external interference that may make it impractical to use a wireless system.

Although our 2.4 GHz cameras & transmitters are mostly immune to common interference (unlike 900 MHz), they may not produce a desirable picture under certain (and rare) conditions. Also, keep in mind; wireless channels are mostly limited to 4 cameras.

Our Recommendation?

On the average, we find that most home owners and small retail stores go with a wireless system, while larger stores and institutions go with wired cameras. Wired systems overall allow for future expansion, upgrades and offer long life.
