In this article we\u2019re going to look at the three key reasons why we think you simply must have vandal proof cameras if you\u2019re going to the cost of installing a complete CCTV system in your home or work place.<\/p>\n<p>1. CCTV footage can only be filmed if cameras are intact \u2013 if they\u2019re vandalised prior to a crime being committed, your CCTV setup will be completely useless. Vandal proof cameras are ideal because they can withstand attempts to render them useless.<\/p>\n<p>2. Cameras are fragile and easy to break \u2013 whilst fragile cameras are fine for use high up in shops and supermarkets, they\u2019re not great when used outside. If you want long lasting cameras that will stand up to vandals when positioned outside, you\u2019ll need to invest in vandal proof cameras for your home or business.<\/p>\n<p>3. Vandal proof CCTV cameras tend to act as a stronger deterrent than a bog standard CCTV camera. If people know that the CCTV camera filming them will be hard to damage, they simply won\u2019t bother trying. Picking up the pieces after a crime is all well and good, but instead of doing that you\u2019re best off looking into ways to prevent crimes occurring in the first place. One of the strongest deterrents money can buy is a CCTV setup that\u2019s vandal proof.<\/p>\n<p>Of course vandal proof CCTV cameras often cost a little more than standard CCTV units. That\u2019s usually because they\u2019re manufactured from much tougher materials. The extra cost isn\u2019t prohibitive in most cases though \u2013 which means if you\u2019re shelling out lots of money to have CCTV cameras installed, you may as well go the whole hog and get vandal proof ones that will stand strong for years to come.<\/p>\n<p>Overall we\u2019d say that vandal proof cameras are certainly worth the extra spend. Obviously if someone takes a baseball bat to your cameras they will probably be damaged whether they\u2019re vandal proof or not \u2013 but you\u2019ll typically find that vandal proof cameras are a lot harder for people to get at, and a lot tougher than traditional outdoor CCTV cameras. Whether you\u2019re protecting your home or a business, external vandal proof cameras really are the way to go.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When it comes to CCTV, lots of people out there wonder whether or not vandal proof cameras really are worth the extra money that they usually cost.
