Vandal-Resistant Cameras – Prevent Security Camera Tampering
Let’s face it. The economy is having a rough time. Unemployment has crept to over 7 percent, crime is on the rise, available jobs are declining, and people are struggling. While many of us find creative ways to adapt and make ends meet, others are working harder than ever to take advantage of the unsuspecting and unprepared.
In my business, we hear it all the time. Somebody stole this, so-and-so is messing with my car, somebody’s trucks are tearing up my driveway, I was robbed at gunpoint; you name it, I’ve heard it.
One thing I hear a lot, and always have, is that somebody smashed, grabbed, stole, bashed, or in some other way prevented a security camera from doing its job, which is to gather evidence.
There have been amazing advances in technology in the past 20 years or so. Things, in general of course, are getting cheaper. Vandal resistant cameras are becoming a very common thing, no longer a novelty at all. Some of them are even bullet or explosion proof!
Now, when I say inexpensive, I mean affordable for the general consumer. Vandal resistant cameras for under $100 are readily available in today’s market. They are highly resistant to damage, usually come in the ever more popular “dome” configuration, and are very easy to mount to walls, ceilings, in corners, and other hard to reach places. They are not nearly as large or obvious as a typical box camera with a big lens and a big mounting bracket.
Variety has gotten better. Toughness is now commonly combined with infrared capability, adjustable lenses, and weatherproofing to make cameras that are ideal in just about any environment.
