Residential Surveillance Systems
Revolutionizing Safety with Residential Security Cameras
Residential security cameras have undergone remarkable advancements over the years. Today, they allow you to access real-time surveillance footage directly from your smartphone, enabling you to monitor your home or business from anywhere—even if you’re hundreds of miles away. Despite these technological leaps, the core benefits remain unchanged: the value, safety, and peace of mind that residential security cameras bring to your property are simply priceless.

How Residential Security Cameras Enhance Safety
Video surveillance systems, including residential security cameras, serve as powerful deterrents to criminal activity. Knowing their actions are being recorded, potential intruders often abandon their plans in search of easier targets. This proactive security measure significantly enhances the safety of your home, creating a less attractive environment for crime.
With real-time monitoring capabilities, residential security cameras also provide instant alerts for suspicious activities. This allows you to respond swiftly, potentially preventing incidents from escalating. By investing in high-quality video surveillance, you not only enjoy the peace of mind of constant oversight but also create a safer and more secure environment by discouraging unwanted behavior before it begins.

Residential Surveillance Cameras
Residential surveillance cameras are designed to be used in homes and other residential properties. They are typically less expensive than commercial cameras, but they still offer a number of features that can help to keep your home safe. These features include:
- High-definition: Residential cameras typically have high-definition resolution, which allows you to see clear images of what is happening at your home.
- Night vision: Residential cameras typically have night vision, which allows you to see images in low-light conditions.
- Motion detection: Residential cameras typically have motion detection, which alerts you when there is movement in your home.
- Cloud storage: Residential cameras typically offer cloud storage, which allows you to store your footage online (requires monthly fee)
Cloud-based systems rely on your internet connection to function properly, which can be a problem if your internet is slow or unreliable. They can also carry ongoing costs for cloud storage, and potential privacy concerns as the footage is stored on third-party servers.
ASKING QUESTIONS
Residential FAQs
Yes, outdoor surveillance cameras are specifically designed to endure a range of weather conditions, from rain and snow to extreme heat or cold. When selecting a camera, it’s essential to consider the camera’s Ingress Protection (IP) rating—an industry standard that rates the camera’s ability to withstand dust and water. For example, a camera with an IP65 rating or higher can withstand rain and dust exposure, while IP66 or IP67 ratings offer enhanced protection against stronger weather elements, including heavy rain or snow.
Our team can professionally install your cameras in which we typically recommend hard wired POE cameras, ensuring they’re positioned to maximize coverage and connected to your Wi-Fi network for remote access. Installation includes optimizing for both indoor and outdoor needs and integrating with any existing security systems if needed. Learn more about Wireless Cameras vs Wired Cameras

Surveillance cameras enhance home security by providing 24/7 monitoring, helping deter potential intruders, and offering valuable evidence in case of incidents. Many systems also allow for remote viewing, so you can check in on your home from anywhere.
While residential camera systems that can be purchased at Sam’s Club or Costco such as Swann or Night Owl may appear to be slightly more affordable than commercial-grade cameras, at St. Louis Alarm Company, we firmly believe in providing our clients with the highest quality and reliability in their security solutions. Therefore, we exclusively install commercial-grade cameras for both commercial and residential applications.
The price differential between an 8-channel residential camera system and a commercial-grade system may only be around $100. However, the installation process for both systems is virtually the same in terms of complexity and time. Given this similarity, we strongly recommend professional installation for these systems to ensure optimal functionality and performance.
By choosing a commercial-grade camera system installed by our trained professionals, you are investing in superior image quality, enhanced features, and greater durability. At St. Louis Alarm Company, we are committed to providing top-tier security solutions that offer the best value, longevity, and peace of mind for our clients.
Coaxial Cables vs. Power over Ethernet (PoE)
When choosing a camera system, it’s important to consider the type of connection the cameras use. Two common options are coaxial cables and Power over Ethernet (PoE).
Coaxial Cables
Coaxial cables are a traditional method of connecting security cameras. They transmit video signal and power separately.
Pros:
- Compatibility: Coaxial cables can be used with older systems, making them a good choice if you’re replacing cameras in an existing system.
- Distance: They can transmit signals over long distances without significant signal loss.
Cons:
- Installation: Installing coaxial cables can be more complex because it usually requires running separate power cables.
- Flexibility: Coaxial systems may lack the flexibility of PoE systems, which can transmit video, power, and data over a single cable.
Power over Ethernet (PoE)
Power over Ethernet (PoE) is a newer technology that allows network devices like IP cameras to receive power and data over a single Ethernet cable.
Pros:
- Simplicity: PoE simplifies installation by combining power and data in a single cable.
- Flexibility: PoE systems can easily be expanded or reconfigured as your needs change.
Cons:
- Distance: PoE can generally transmit signals only up to 100 meters, which may be limiting for larger installations. However, this distance can be extended with additional networking equipment.
