It is almost impossible to watch the nightly news without hearing of some crime being committed somewhere. Oftentimes burglars make the news because of a burglary and it might even be in the neighborhood close to you.

One thing you can do is purchase a residential security camera to help prevent this from happening. The nice thing about security cameras is your visitors know they are being watched.

Because these are very easy to install and the prices have come down there's no reason not to have one regardless of where you live. For this reason you're seeing more residential security cameras being installed in all different types of neighborhoods across the country.

One thing you can do is purchase an indoor dummy camera that functions like a real security camera. It works on motion detection and moves from left to right making your visitors think they are being watched.

These also contain flashing red LED lights which are noticeable from several feet away. This is one thing you can do if you don't want to purchase and install a real camera.

One real functional residential security camera is the  CLEARVU5. This includes an 8 inch monitor and provides an easy to use camera in color. It works equally well both in the day and the night to protect your property 24 hours a day. This is easy to install.

Today there really is no excuse for not protecting your home from burglars and residential security cameras are a great way to keep burglaries from ever happening to begin with.
