Mini Dome Security Camera
Dome security cameras have been popular in stores for quite some time. They inobtrusively watch for shoplifters and other problem customers from their hiding spots on the ceilings. If you prefer that look to the traditional wall-mounted cameras, you can get residential versions now that you can install indoors or outdoors to keep on eye on your home.
This ceiling-mounted mini dome camera from Shoppers’ Choice costs just under $140 and even if you bought a few of them to keep around the premises, it’d be cheaper than going with a full-fledged monitored security system. Of course, this way it’d be up to you do to the monitoring (you can program the cameras to transmit to a PC, where records are kept of the surveillance), but you wouldn’t have to pay those monthly fees. You still might want to get an expert to help you with the installation, however, as the cameras do require wiring know-how.
