Hey there! We know its been particularly hard the past couple days, with borders closing down and most of us going into quarantine due to the COVID-19.
But we here at Elinz continue to be fully operational, while taking the right kind of precautions to ensure the your safety, as well as the wellbeing of our workers, both inside and outside the office. We've prepared and adjusted our operations to make sure that you're able to shop from the safety of your home without endangering our workforce.
And even during these times, we still continue to answer Quora questions that might help provide some clarity in the time of the outbreak. Here are the best ones that we've come across this past couple of weeks:
CCTV cameras are used for security, and they’re one of the best systems that a property owner should consider getting. Here’s why:
They’re great as deterrents for criminality. They can keep ne’er-do-wells away. Considering that most criminals aren’t doing it often, especially for breaking and entering, CCTVs are great at spooking people who are planning something unsavory. People who have better security systems at home are less likely to be target of crime.
CCTV cameras are great for companies too, as they can help with verifying employee attendance, keeping an eye if employees are following proper procedures and regulations in the workplace
They provide evidence should its deterring quality fail. Security cameras can capture a wide range of evidence and pin a crime to its actual perpetrator through capturing likeness, behavior, gait and whole host of other factors.
When you’re outside home, you can review CCTV footage and always check back with major events that might have happened at home, how it happened and what to do.
Another point of consideration is monitoring the public to make sure that quarantine measures are observed, and that hospitals are monitoring their patients properly so that resources and medical attention is allocated properly. These days, we need all the help we can get and security cameras can definitely help a lot.
Absolutely! Being a student driver, you’ll need all the help you can get to learn more about driving and getting used to it. Here are some of the plenty of reasons why you should get a dash cam:
Reviewing your footage. Being a student driver, you’ll make a mistake or two out there while driving. After driving for a day, offload the footage and review your driving. This helps so much with recognizing bad habits, and nipping them in the bud before they become your standard driving norm.
Incidents out on the road. Plenty of new drivers can be steamrolled into agreeing demands from irate drivers that they get involved with; a dash cam will serve as a valuable and objective record of what actually occurred, which will definitely help out a newbie driver.
Driving record. Having video of your drives through certain areas will let you look back on your driving and show you how far you’ve come in progressing your skills as a driver. During this coronavirus outbreak, it's also important to drivers have a log of their driving should contact tracing need to be done.
No, not all of them do- some are still analog relying on a purely offline connection between the DVRs and the security camera via the good ol’ cable.
Some of them do, though- specifically IP (Internet Protocol) cameras. It’s not technically a huge need for independent and singular cameras, but when its networked in the case of NVR security cameras, they do need WiFi.
If you’re considering your options, it might be best to look at the size of your home first, check to see if you need a CCTV system (that’s offline), or if you need an IP camera (if just one, you won’t need a WiFi but it certainly helps in storage options), or if you’re going for the newer NVR systems (that relay security camera signal via WiFi connectivity).
So the short answer is- no, they don’t need WiFi for the most part, but it certainly helps if you’re looking for more options.
If you still haven't got a security camera of your own, now would be a great time to do so. With the coronavirus being highly transmittable disease, you'll need something to watch over your home and check to see if your family members are following proper sanitation protocols to keep them safe from the virus.
Because its only natural to do so. There are plenty of things that happen outdoors/in public, and there are certainly plenty of dangers out there that surveillance cameras can catch, helping officers of the law follow up and help keep the peace.
While there are plenty that stay that it is an invasion of privacy, remember that you are out in public; if you’re doing something that shouldn’t be seen public, then it is a private affair and should not be done in public.
If you don’t want to get caught by a surveillance camera, then do those things in private so that your privacy is not invaded.
There are plenty of situations that rely on availability of surveillance cameras, with law enforcement being one of them. Some footage taken from a security camera even allows preemptive security action in some instances.
Additionally, plenty of cities in the world have used security cameras as deterrents for crime which is also an important factor in keeping the peace, especially during the time of the coronavirus. In some countries such as South Korea which was able to contain the virus, security cameras were integral in patient monitoring, contact tracing and making sure that quarantine measures were followed to the letter.
