The price of becoming your own surveillance specialist will depend solely on the quality, number, and type of cameras you choose to use and the means by which they store the recorded data.

Some models even come with a built-in digital video recorder (much like the ones used to capture video on a digital camera but with longer run times) and can run for up to 12 hours using a self-contained rechargeable battery pack. You can even monitor your home or business while away from any pc (high speed Internet connection required) using specialized software that can remotely access your security/surveillance system from any location.
