When you installed your CCTV home security, you have done so for the purpose of monitoring your house, your nanny and your teenaged children while you were away, asleep, or otherwise engaged.
What you did not foresee is that it can benefit your pets, too! Pet Safety Unless you have a Doberman pinscher and a German shepherd for pets, you have the responsibility to keep your pets safe from intruders and from themselves.
Let's face it.
Your pets can be endangered by criminals who are intent on pet-napping for nefarious purposes and even by neighbors who love your pets so much they are willing to commit a felony to own them.
At the very least, you can easily identify the perpetrators of the crime through video footages from your CCTV home security cameras.
You can take a lesson from the dog-napping case in a pet store in Burlington, Vermont where an $800 miniature schnauzer was stolen and subsequently recovered, thanks to the surveillance cameras in place.
Your pets can also be a danger to themselves.
With remote viewing of footages from your surveillance cameras, you can alert the people in the house about the dangers your pet is putting himself in.
You can also use the video footages to ascertain the places your pet is frequenting, the dangers therein, and what you can do to lessen them.
Pet Monitoring If you are having problems in dog training, your CCTV home security system can be used to monitor your dogs.
You can more readily identify causes for dog behavior problems from available video footages, said behavior problems ranging from mildly destructive furniture chewing to highly problematic aggression.
You can even install sensors that will alert you when your pet is entering a restricted area! Quite handy for your antique vases, don't you think? Pet Cuteness Pets are cute! But often, you miss the most candid and cutest pet moments simply because you cannot spend your life staring and waiting for your pet to make that once-in-a-lifetime trick.
With CCTV home security camera, you can rewind and review hilarious things your pet has been doing while your back was turned.
Who knows when you will earn money from having the funniest pet home video ever, right? Maybe even make enough to actually pay for part of a new CCTV home security system! However, you have to take precautions when using surveillance cameras around pets.
For one thing, you have to place them in high areas where your active pets cannot jump, tumble, and crash on them.
Of course, if your pet is in a cage or a bowl like rodents, reptile and fish, you do not have this problem.
Still, you have to remember that your CCTV home security system is there for reasons beyond protecting and videotaping your pets, no matter how adorable they are.
It is there to deter crime against person and against property.
For this reason, be sure to perform regular maintenance to preserve its integrity either from human intrusion or pet excursion.
