The apartment is under proper control: how to install the surveillance camera in apartment

Installing video surveillance in the apartment is a way to become more calm and relaxed in the overloaded world lifestyle. Surveillance cameras will transmit the image directly to your smartphone, no matter where you are.

Steel doors are now the standard of urban housing. But it does not make your apartment as safe as a fortress. And it is not always a matter of inaccessibility since sometimes it is essential to know what is being done at home when you are not there.

Sometimes the inhabitants of the large apartments are unaware of what happens in different rooms, even while they are at home. But sometimes it matters. For example, it is essential to know what happens in the nursery or the bedroom of a sick relative. In these cases, the indoor video camera helps a lot. Let’s say there are people always coming to your home for example, such as a nanny or a nurse so that cameras will be an additional benefit. Moreover, the Perenio cameras are not only convenient but also affordable and easy to install. 

Special attention needed

Perenio offers two types of indoor surveillance cameras which are the fixed and motor ones. The fixed camera monitors the specific area of the apartment. Anyway, the viewing angles of the Perenio camera allow seeing what's going on almost in the entire area of the room where it is installed.

The horizontal viewing angle is 90 degrees while the vertical is 52 degrees. By the way, such a wide viewing angle of a quarter of a circle is one of the best offers on the market. Usually offered cameras have an overview of 50-60 degrees horizontally. You can install the camera almost anywhere which is any vertical or horizontal surfaces and even the ceiling.

Elegant on-tape solution 

One can say that it is difficult to deal with the hammer or drill to install the camera and thus will be wrong… The fixed camera is so elegant and has such a small weight that it can be mounted on a simple adhesive tape. The company which produces this tape has been on the market since the Great Depression of 1929, so it guarantees the quality with almost 90 years’ experience!
 
So no one will ask what about the wires… Indeed, Perenio video-cameras can be connected to an Internet router via an Ethernet cable, though the Wi-Fi method is more convenient since no wires are needed. Wireless connectivity is quite enough to transfer Full HD images.

Motor Camera

Sometimes the Fixed Camera is not enough. For example, when the apartment has big antique furniture or if it is too big and several important observation areas exist. In these cases, the motor camera is a suitable solution.

You can manage it from your smartphone with a free Perenio Smart application installed, suitable both for Android and iOS.
The camera has a “parking” position where it returns after you turned it. The camera returns to its default position after a particular set time.

How to install it

The Motor Camera is more complex and weight more than the fixed one. Although both of them are quite compact: the fixed one has dimensions of 70 x 70 x 120 mm while the motor one is 90 x 112 x 112 mm. Both have a minimalistic design which makes them suit any interior. Anyway, if you want to install the motor camera on a vertical surface or the ceiling, you would not do without the dowels.

The Fixed Camera with its teardrop-shaped design can be easily rotated manually, but the motor camera can be turned only automatically from a smartphone. Its viewing area is 350 degrees horizontally and 120 degrees vertically. So not a single millimeter of the apartment will be hidden from the camera’s observation.

What’s on?

The appearance of the objects that can block the visibility of the observation area of the room should be taken into account when installing the camera. There is no particular climatic requirement although it is not recommended to mount the camera in conditions of high humidity such as the bathroom (anyway it is doubly needed there). Some states as the peculiarity should also be cared of if installing cameras in the kitchen.

Cameras are connected on the “Plug & Play” principle, but still, you need to complete some simple configurations through the smartphone. This procedure is described in detail in the manual and can be easily managed by anyone who can read and use a smartphone.

With a surveillance camera, any apartment becomes safer, which means it also becomes more comfortable and cozier.
