Eye spy your home from anywhere in the world

This summer, millions of us will leave our homes unattended as we head to holiday destinations in the UK and abroad.

Most will worry about the security of our home while we are away, and a significant number will return to find their property has been burgled or vandalised. With burglaries at homes in England and Wales having increased by 14 per cent in 2010-11 compared with the previous year, according to the latest British Crime Survey (BCS), IP camera systems can provide real benefit in terms of added level of protection and reassurance.

"Just as people activate their timer lights and set burglar alarms before they set off on holiday, more and more people are now switching on IP cameras as part of their home security drill," says Paresh Morjaria of EyeSpy247.com.

"That’s because IP camera systems bring incredible peace of mind. No matter where you are in the world you can log in to see live pictures of your property from a computer and even your iPhone. It’s like taking your home on holiday with you."

IP cameras work with a user's home broadband router. They connect wirelessly which means they can be positioned almost anywhere in the house. The cameras themselves can cost significantly less than traditional CCTV, while their low power-usage means leaving them on while away for two weeks won't result in a huge electricity bill.

Yet despite their apparent simplicity, the latest IP camera systems feature advanced technology such as high definition video and clear night vision. Motion detectors can instantly alert holidaymakers of a disturbance by text message or email, with images attached. IP camera systems also store security footage safely in cyberspace, which can be checked from the beach, the user’s hotel, or anywhere in the world – and, where necessary, can also be used as evidence of a crime.

The wide variety of systems available means there is plenty of choice on offer when buying an IP camera. EyeSpy247 is currently the only system available in the UK that provides an all-in-one, plug-n-play solution.

EyeSpy247's unique system includes high quality IP cameras with integrated access to a secure online portal, which provides comprehensive remote monitoring, recording and instant email/SMS alerts with no additional hardware to buy. With prices starting at just £99, they are easily affordable too.

With such advanced capabilities and increasing public interest in surveillance, it is no surprise that security was one of few industry sectors that grew significantly in 2010, despite the global downturn. According to a report by leading market researchers RNCOS, IP camera technology is expected to overtake CCTV as the market leader by 2012. (Source: "Global CCTV Market Analysis (2008-2012)", RNCOS).
