Video surveillance cameras are an important and increasingly helpful tool for homeowners as well as commercial establishments. Luckily, according to a story recently published on www.syracuse.com, there are some dedicated and skillful neighbors who are installing security cameras for free in order for the cost to be practical for low-income residents who cannot afford to have them professionally installed.

The Syracuse Police Department has installed over 40 surveillance cameras since 2011, but, at a cost of $10,000 per camera, the technology unfortunately has not been able to extend into many neighborhoods that have requested one.

Closed-circuit television (CCTV) usually applies to surveillance cameras that transmit signals to a limited number of monitors at a specific place.

Resident Bob Korzuch says that monitoring these cameras can even be done on one’s smartphone while you are away from home, and he also uses a smartphone app to check the security camera of an elderly neighbor.

Paragon Security NYC offers a wide array of security and surveillance cameras for residential and commercial establishments and would be happy to discuss with you what your particular requirements are.
