Security Video Monitors

Just as security cameras can come in black and white or color versions, so can video monitors. If your security systems camera is black and white, then you have no need for a color monitor. Video monitors come in a variety of sizes and it is best to buy a larger monitor because the smaller ones may be hard to view. If you can't tell for certain that the person you expect is the one at the door, then your security system is being defeated.

Some security systems allow the video signal to be sent to a television and although many users appreciate this functionality, televisions don't tend to have very good resolution.

CCTV monitors may have as many as 1000 lines of screen resolution as compared to 550 lines usable on ordinary televisions. This shows that security monitors do have their place in a home security system.
