I listened to the Real Deal podcast the other day, and they recommended a Panasonic BL-C131A camera for home video surveillance. But it’s cheap and has great reviews! Is there any reason why it wouldn’t be suitable for use in a business?
It’s for my Uncle’s business, and he had looked into getting a security agency come in. They estimated $8,000 to set up the system! So, again, what could they do that is SOOOO much better than that Panasonic wireless camera?
Here is the camera on Amazon:

Any camera is a good camera. Preferably one that records video. You should keep 2 recorders. Usually if a criminal finds the one dummy (that works) they will take the tape and you are stuck with a camera and no video. If you have another hidden 9 x’s out of 10 they won’t think to look for the second. Most businesses usually only have 1.
Also if you change the tape every night that can help you to identify someone who was in that place of business at a time when something may have happened and you didn’t know until later. I would store them in a place outside that place of business in case of fire. If by chance there was a break in, you could look at the other video’s from the previous days to see who may have been checking the place out. Especially if there were no services provided to that person.
Well good luck. I hope this is the camera for you. And I hope I have been helpful.
yes .
Place anywhere you’d like to keep an eye on things, with no PC required at the location , View and control from a standard web browser, video display, or compatible cell phone or PDA , Point the camera where you want with eight shooting position presets , Built-in heat sensor allows record and/or notify by email when someone enters the room , Connect wirelessly with standard 802.11b/g devices, SSID filtering and 40/64/128-bit WEP encryption

There are two types of cameras to consider – Network Cameras and CCTV cameras. For a business, I would go with an analog CCTV camera because they have better video quality and night vision, which is a plus for a business setting (and even a home setting).
