If you're looking to upgrade your home security profile to include a video surveillance system, then you really should look into the benefits o using a remote system as opposed to a standard "hard wired" system. A video remote surveillance system runs on what is essentially the same type of system that a hardwired system runs on, however it gives you those same performance benefits without the hassle of being constantly tethered to a static monitor. When you use a video remote surveillance system, you are able to monitor your camera feeds at the touch of a button, wherever you have access to a PC and the internet.
