When should I update my camera system?
Published on Thursday, March 9th, 2023

Security cameras are a crucial component of any comprehensive security system. They act as a deterrent against criminal activity and provide valuable evidence in the event of a crime. However, like any technology, security cameras can become outdated. Here are some signs that it may be time to update your camera system:
Inadequate Image Quality:

If your security camera footage is blurry or pixelated, it may be time to upgrade your cameras. Newer cameras offer higher resolutions and improved image quality, making it easier to identify potential threats. Camera lenses can also become cloudy or discolored from being overexposed to harsh elements.
Limited Coverage:

Does your current camera system provide you with maximum visibility of your property? If your current camera system cannot provide full coverage, it may be time to invest in additional cameras or upgrade to a system with better coverage capabilities. AlarmSouth offers many camera models, from standard point-of-view cameras to 180-degree and 360-degree.
Outdated Technology:

Chances are your camera system may not have the latest technological features that can enhance security. AlarmSouth offers multiple camera models with built-in analytics that can detect everything from people, vehicles, and animals. You can even search footage by gender, clothing color, vehicle color, and more!
Ease of Access:

If it is difficult to access your security camera footage or your system has limited storage capacity, it may be time to consider upgrading to a newer system with more user-friendly software and a larger storage capacity. AlarmSouth offers both cloud storage and physical storage to best suit your needs.
Increased Security Needs:

If your security needs have changed, such as moving into a new home or opening a new business or location, investing in a more robust camera system may be needed. Camera systems are a strong crime deterrent when paired with our available talk-down services or audible alerts. Your camera system can be a proactive deterrent as opposed to a reactive one.
