Many call it going a bit overboard but some say it is about improving home security especially due to the rampant increase of break-ins and burglaries most people are encountering these days. Apparently a simple installation of video cameras in certain parts of the home has been a common practice.

Some home owners install spy cams in places like the following:

1. Front Door
2. Front Gate
3. Back Door
4. Garage
5. Receiving area

If you will notice, most of these are the entry points to a home. You don’t really have to put spy cams on places like the living room or bedrooms since that would really be going a bit overboard. The case would be different though if you would want to monitor the activities of hired help.

So are spy cams a need. Depending on your status and neighborhood, they can be good security improvements for sure. It all depends if you have a purpose of having one. But if you are just installing them because you want to get in with the times, it is not really recommended.

Do you Need Security Cameras at Home?

Well let us not get carried away though. While you can have that same image that may answer you of your questions, it can also be a good security system for your home. A bit spooky if you don’t know what it is but it can get the job done for the rampant home burglaries headlining the news today.

At first glance it looks like a regular old mirror hanging on your wall, but the mirror finish actually hides a 30 inch LCD display that features a CGI character known as “Basil of the Mirror” who magically appears to alert you about any problems around your home. The Mirror does require you to have an already existing security setup, but a collection of over 100 different messages make it seem as if Basil is actually monitoring your surveillance cameras, motion detectors and other security sensors.
