Rental Property Security Cameras – Benefits for Landlords

As a landlord, there are some very worthwhile benefits to installing rental property security cameras. To start with, you can protect your property from theft, vandalism and damage, and help keep your tenants safe. Security cameras such as IP cameras are also a great way to attract potential tenants in the first place and increase the rental value of your property. If necessary, such cameras can also be used to ensure that your tenants are not damaging the outside of your building or yard.

Below we’ve explained what IP cameras are, and the benefits for landlords.

So when you’re ready for security cameras at your rental property, come to the experts at Brisbane Alarm Monitoring Security Services (BAMSS). Whether you own a house or a unit, we’ve got you covered.

What is an IP camera?

An IP (internet protocol) camera works in much the same way as a CCTV camera. IP cameras are a popular choice for landlords for surveillance at their apartment buildings or houses. Unlike CCTV cameras, IP cameras can send and receive information through the Internet.

Advantages of installing an IP camera over CCTV

The main advantage of an IP camera over CCTV is that you can see what is happening at your property regardless of where you are. All you need is a web-enabled device (such as a computer, laptop, or smartphone). And when you install IP cameras through Brisbane Alarm Monitoring Security Services, we’ll provide you with access to the security network to view your camera anywhere.

Gone are the days of needing to be sitting right in front of your CCTV monitor to see what is going on. With IP cameras, technically you can be anywhere, as long as you have access to the Internet and a device to connect you.

IP Cameras also allow you to view your property or unit in real time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This gives you ample time to alert the police if you notice any criminal activity.

Benefits of rental property security cameras for landlords

There are so many fantastic benefits of IP cameras for landlords. By installing security cameras at your rental property, you can:

• prevent break-ins at your property (you also have a much greater chance of catching the criminals if there is a break in)
• protect your property from vandalism and graffiti
• protect your yard from damage (especially if you have beautiful gardens or you’ve installed expensive extras like lampposts or bench seats)
• help keep your tenants safe
• make sure your tenants (or passers by) are not damaging your building or yard
• protect your investment
• attract more potential tenants
• increase the rental value of your property
• have greater peace of mind. 

How much does it cost to install rental property security cameras?

Installing IP cameras at your rental property is a great investment that often ends up paying for itself (and then some). Sure, it may cost you a small amount up front, but it can also save you thousands of dollars long term by avoiding break-ins and damage to your property. It will also mean that you’ll spend less time worrying about the security of your property and the safety of your tenants.
