Home security cameras have become popular over the last few years. These home security camera systems provide customers with the ability to record exactly what happens at their home and protect their property from vandalism and theft through a pc or other devices.
Some advanced home security camera systems like PC-Based DVR Systems and H.264 standalone DVR systems provide advanced remote viewing features that will even allow you to remotely record video to a PC over the internet. With these features, you can keep a backup of your video on another PC over the internet, so that if someone were to steal the DVR or DVR PC from your home, you would still have a copy of the video on an off-site location.
Beyond remote recording capabilities, a few home security camera systems also provide the ability to remotely view your security cameras from a PDA phone or even iPhone.

With this remote viewing, you can view up to 4 cameras at a time, and is most popular with standalone DVR systems.
