With a security cameras system, you have the most powerful tool ever devised to uncover employee theft, a burglar, a cheating spouse or catching a stalker in the act. There are two things you will have to deal with. One is your personal choice of how far you wish to go to get the evidence you want and local laws regarding privacy. Once those two are settled, the power you have is incredible.

The image quality in modern video cameras is exceptional. The days are long gone where only James Bond type people and the CIA could afford a good surveillance camera. Now, they are cheap to buy, easy to install and even easier to use.

Even the lowest priced security cameras have features that were unheard of a few years ago. These include:

Image quality that is as good as a film camera or even better.

Modern units are wireless. Installation is a breeze.

Size matters. They are available now in sizes that only the super heroes and super villains of the movies could hope for.

Due to memory advances, modern units have enough storage on board to hold hours of surveillance.

To make an immense memory go even further, the latest cameras have motion sensors that let the camera video only when there is movement in front of it.

To stretch memory even more, the motion sensors are programmable to not trigger when short objects like animals or little children playing are in the vicinity.

For those dark areas, infrared cameras are available. These are the see in the dark ones.

Videos from your cameras can be downloaded and stored on a computer or similar device. This can be down over a wire or wirelessly if the situation allows the signal to get through.

Perhaps the most incredible feature of the modern cameras is their size. You can even buy empty cans of common household items like shaving cream and install a camera inside. You can also get special flower pots, garden ornaments and light fixtures all designed to house a camera.

The sky is the limit to what you can do with the modern devices.
