Video security systems have been around for decades. But there have been significant improvements since there inception. Modern video security systems can monitor multiple areas day or night. Video security systems are smart enough to tell the difference between a pet and a person, and most of them integrate seamlessly into home security systems.

Video security systems can be equipped with low light or night vision cameras to make them useful at any type of day. VCRs are no longer used to store video either. Digital video recorders, or DVRs, can hold much more video than any previous storage device. Many video security systems have converted to digital cameras, which eliminates problems from translating analog video signals to digital information. Digital video security systems are also much easier to integrate with a home computer. Now home owners can monitor their premises from the comfort of their PC, and manage the entire system remotely. Wireless technology has helped make the process easier as well.

Video security systems can generally include up to 16 cameras, though many homes and small businesses may not require that many. Video security systems can also film continuously or be activated by motion detectors. Some video security systems also incorporate hidden or disguised cameras to watch people undetected.
