Home Repeatedly Robbed When Home Owner is Away

Problem:

Home owner's job requires him to work on weekends and at night. When he is working his home has been broken into on several occesions. When there is motion detected in or around then home the owner wants to be alerted. Also, when a vehicle parks in the driveway he wants to be able to capture the license plate number. All activity should be recorded on a DVR so it can be played back.

Specifics:

Because this home is located in the north any outdoor security cameras will need to be able to stand up to severe weather. Since the home owner often works at night all security cameras (indoor or outdoor) will need to be able to record at night. The cameras and DVR will need to record at a high resolution to identify license plates and intruder's identities. The home owner wants to catch these intruders not just deter them.

Solution:

The ideal solution for this problem is a web-ready DVR based security system with a motion activation and 4 indoor/outdoor night vision cameras. The placementof the security cameras is key to solving this problem. One camera can be installed on the front of the house to monitor the driveway. Another camera will be installed in the back of the house to monitor the back yard and back door. There will be 2 cameras installed inside the house. One will be installed at the opposite end of the kitchen pointing towards the entry into the home from the backdoor. The last camera will be placed at the opposite end of the front room pointing towards the front door. Since the home owner wants to be alerted when there is motion the DVR will be placed in the basement near the computer. Adequate length cables from the cameras to the DVR will be necessary.
The 4 camera security system that was recommended and installed is the SVAT CV300-4CH-001. This system comes with 4 indoor/outdoor night vision cameras. The DVR has many advanced features including motion detection and internet capabilities. 2 extra 60' lengths of cables also had to be purchased. SVAT offers extension cables that do not require any type of splicing. Also, SVAT offers 24/7 technical support, so the home owner had a lot of help during the installation.
