Welcome to Take Control of Home Security Cameras, version 1.4.1, published in April 2023 by alt concepts. This book was written by Glenn Fleishman and edited by Joe Kissell. Learn everything you need to know about home security cameras to plan, purchase, and install the best system for your needs for live access, security monitoring, alerts, privacy concerns, and affordability. The book explains the role of Apple’s HomeKit Secure Video, and how to make its highest-level security work for you.

A camera or camera system can allow you to let someone into your home when you’re not there, note when packages land on your porch, check in with your child or children when you have a nanny or babysitter watching them (or uncover unauthorized parties when they’re older), avoid personal contact during epidemics or other personal health events, or check in on a rental property. And you can, of course, provide details to an insurance company when theft or accidental damage occurs, or call the police or hand over video if a burglar or other criminal is caught in the act. Sometimes the mere presence of cameras deters people from breaking in.

As you read this book, you'll:
Figure out which features are right for you
Configure your system securely to ensure that you and people you authorize are the only ones with access to live and stored video
Understand the different kinds of cloud-based storage of video, and which you might be comfortable with
Learn about Apple HomeKit Secure Video, an option available for the Apple ecosystem that lets you access video and control cameras from several manufacturers in a highly secure way from your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, including Logitech’s Circle View
Get to know features found in home security cameras, and how they affect the quality and nature of video you capture
Set your system so that alerts only appear for the kinds of motion, sound, or other triggers that meet your threshold
Avoid becoming part of the surveillance state—or opt into a limited and controlled part of it with a fuller understanding of what that means
Learn about the legal aspects and limits of recording audio and video, and how they might (or might not) help catch criminals
