CCTV Camera With Voice Warning to Stop Theft Early

A CCTV camera with voice warning lets you record your own message and play it when someone enters a marked area, so an intruder can be challenged before any theft happens. The camera in this video also shows faces, records in colour at night and supports two-way audio on your phone.

Most people think of CCTV as something that only records what already happened. In the Black Cats video, we show an AI-based camera that works earlier than that. Here is what it does and why it matters for a home or shop in Chennai.

How does a CCTV camera with voice warning stop a theft?

You record your own voice message and save it in the camera. In the video, the message is a simple challenge: "Who are you? What are you doing? Why have you come here?" A person who hears this knows they are being watched and may leave before taking anything.

We mark a particular area in the camera view. When someone goes into that area, the camera plays the message. In the video we walk to the marked spot and check that the sound plays. This two way audio CCTV camera also has a facility you would not have seen in other CCTV cameras, so ask about it before you buy.

Can I find a person quickly in the recording?

Yes. In this camera the faces of everyone who comes into view appear continuously at the side of the monitor. Suppose a third person enters your house and takes something. You go to playback and see that person's photos listed.

Click on that photo and the clip of what the person did starts playing. You do not need to sit and watch the full video for hours, which saves a lot of time when something goes missing.

Does a colour night vision CCTV camera really help?

A normal camera shows pictures in black and white at night. This camera shows colour at night, which makes it easier to notice clothes, vehicles and other details. Lights are also built into the camera to give brightness after dark.

As we explain in the video, you do not even need to switch on your normal house light. The light coming from the camera itself is enough for you, because that much brightness comes from it.

What is two way audio in a CCTV camera?

Two way audio in a CCTV camera means the camera records sound along with video, and you can also speak through it. All the cameras in this setup record audio together with video. Even when you are outside the house, you can listen to what is being said at home and talk to the people there.

That is useful for a CCTV camera for home with mobile connectivity: you can check on family members, or speak to a visitor, directly from your phone.
