View Our Selection Of Home Audio/Video Security Cameras

Home audio/video security cameras are the latest and best in home surveillance technology. They allow home owners to capture video and audio evidence of thieves or miscreants around their homes. Audio/video security cameras also allow users to monitor what people are doing and saying inside their own homes.

Traditionally, security cameras have mostly been video only, meaning that it was possible to see what was happening in front of the camera but impossible to hear what was happening. With improvements in camera technology it's now possible to create low cost home audio/video security cameras that can capture sound along with video evidence.

One of the biggest advantages of home audio/video security cameras is that audio data can offer greater information about what happens in or around a user's home and more evidence against thieves if there is an incident. Additionally, video cameras can only monitor a certain amount of space. It's possible for things to happen outside of the camera's field of view. Home audio/video security cameras allow for greater monitoring power because the audio sensors don't have a "field of view," they capture sounds from any direction.

Audio/video security cameras come with fewer options than video-only cameras because of the additional microphone technology. Usually audio/video security cameras only come in dome, bullet or c-mount configurations. But most lens configurations, field of view, and distance, and resolution options are still available in audio/video cameras. Cameras can also be black and white or color and offer wireless and other collection options. They are an indispensable part of any home security system.
