SECURITY CAMERAS - Ron Di Lalla - Realtor - Orange County

Connected video cameras are getting a lot of attention lately. They've become smaller and more powerful, and let you check in on your home anytime, from wherever you are.  Are they really security cameras, though?  If they're not provided by a security dealer and connected to agenuine security system, the answer is: probably not. Here's why. There's no monitoring service . Imagine that there's a burglary at your house while you're out. Your standalone camera will capture the footage and alert you in real time! But what if you're out at dinner, or in the gym? Or taking a nap on vacation? Or on a plane? Even if you spot the alert within a few minutes, it's too late.  That's why real security cameras are connected to a security system which connects in turn to a 24/7 monitoring station. In the event of a burglary, trained security professionals assess the situation and can call the police. Meanwhile, the camera will automatically capture and securely store footage of what happened in the cloud.
