Vandal Proof Security Cameras

Security cameras are among the most effective and consistent ways to prevent and solve crime. Because of that status, they are also real targets for criminals and vandals. If you have a visible security camera protecting a valuable asset (or assets), you can be sure that attempts will be made to disable it in the event of a serious crime. To prevent that kind of tampering and loss, you should invest in vandal-proof security cameras. At EZWatch we make vandal-proofing a key component of many of our very best cameras, including all of the EZDome VPIR line. Vandal proofing (especially in high traffic and outdoor areas) can be the difference between getting the crime on tape or being blindsided, and with EZWatch you don’t have to take the risk.

The most important places to have vandal proof security cameras are the places with high foot traffic, places that are outdoors, and places where the presence of the security camera is obvious. For instance, cameras installed in schools (crowded hallways, big rooms, huge traffic) are vulnerable to casual and focused vandalism at all times. These cameras need to be protected with thick casings, tough materials, and hardy lenses. Outdoor cameras are also vulnerable. They are easy to see and they are totally unprotected in the elements. Much easier to damage or disable than indoor cameras (because you don’t have to break in to get to them) these cameras are often under attack.

Because vandal proof security cameras are a necessity for so many types of security installations, vandal proofing is more a feature that can be applied to almost any kind of camera than a camera type in and of itself. If you need a pan tilt zoom camera, it can be vandal proofed. The same goes for night vision, outdoor, indoor, or anything else.

Vandal proofing is a concern for every security installation, but the ones outlined above are generally the most concerning. Before you buy a security camera, make sure you know whether or not it’s vandal proof and, or course, whether or not it needs to be to serve your purposes effectively.

Another reason that vandal proofing is so important is that it protects your investment. Security installations aren’t cheap, and they’re vitally important - when you protect your equipment from vandalism, you protect yourself from future outlays and potential replacement costs for your cameras. EZWatch is devoted to making the process of buying and installing high quality security cameras and DVRs as easy and effective as possible. In many cases, vandal proofing is an important part of that mission.
