Hello

95% of all wireless cameras are compete junk and any wireless camera under $400 run on 1.2 or 2.4GHZ or 5.8ghz and don’t offer encryption. This is bad for 2 reasons one the signal can easy be jammed, with a laptop you can actually hacked video feeds so a criminal can use it to spy and know a good time to target your business or home.

Now one option for wireless is using commercial IP radios which are basically wireless routers on steroids and can offer distances up to 40km of wireless with military encryption, this is not a cheap solution but neither is digging a trench. using these radios not only give you a security infrastructure but also communications infrastructures as well for internet and other purposes (LAN network)

Not all DVRs are created equal, in fact there are many options that offer varying performance much like the automobile industry. In the world of DVRs you can find the equivalent of a $10,000 Kia and a $350,000 Ferrari and everything in between. Both have 4 wheels and windshield but that where the similarities end, it’s under the hood that counts. Just like any other consumer electronic in the end you get what you pay for.

I suggest you buy a PC based DVR has they have more processing power and normally have a much smaller file size and offer more features then Standalone DVR’s. I know many people buy a cheap standalone DVR, only to upgrade to a PC based in 6 months especially when they are using it to manage a store remotely. Also PC based allows you to record up to 64 cameras where a standalone will have a limit of 16.

Many people have the misconception that a PC-Based DVR is simply an off-the-shelf PC with video capture (encoder) cards, display (decoder) cards and some generic OEM software. A true DVR requires years of research and development to facilitate the seamless integration of both the hardware and software. DVRs are highly complex systems that must run 24/7, processing millions of images per day. This makes consumer-level hardware inadequate for DVRs which is why Ascendent uses custom-built PCs with performance-level hardware.

My personal favorite DVR is Ascendent X4 series: Ascendent’s Tri-Fusion Hybrid Platform allows for the creation of a true hybrid surveillance system by utilizing the advantages of Analog, Megapixel, and IP technologies for unparalleled customization and expandability. I am working on government projects and use Ascendent cameras and DVR because the offer superior performance and cost less then comparable brands like bosh, Honeywell and pelco.

The X4 also uses the latest H.264/SVC codec offer video substantially better quality,. While its file size sizes is 30% smaller than MPEG-4, 60% smaller than MPEG-2, and exponentially smaller than MJPEG.

File size is crucial to streaming because most DVR’s on the market record at real time performance (30FPS per channel) so on a 4CH is trying to send 120, 8CH 240, and a 16CH 480 images per second which requires way too much bandwidth even for the most extreme internet connections.

The smaller the files size the more images are able to be sent, and the faster they can be processed improving both FPS and speed. File size is the heart of any DVR and goes far beyond just its streaming capabilities, as it also determines the recording storage time, how much you can back up at once, how fast it renders and searches video. The file size of a DVR impacts the performance of the DVR in just about every aspect from speed to longevity and is often the most important spec of any DVR.

If you are buying a DVR and streaming is a high priority I suggest you ask for a demo and connect to the DVR to make sure it is able to stream fast enough for your needs. Most DVRs say they have remote viewing but it is often too slow and laggy to be of any use especially if it is a standalone. Some good DVR brands that I recommend are Bosch, Pelco, Honeywell and Ascendent. These brands are what security professionals use, Q-see, Swan and Lorex are only used in residential applications because they are sold by Tiger Direct, Spytown, Newegg, Sams Club, Costco and other retail outlets but are not used by any security professionals also their tech support rarely speaks English as their first language…

These brand manufacturers also have a complete line of CCTV cameras for any application from residential to military.

I have done projects that required cameras to stream over satellite and cellular networks and the only DVR that could provide the video streaming was Ascendent Technology Group’s X3 DVR. To give you an example of what a good DVR should stream like, below are instructions on how to connect to Ascendent’s X3 DVR using Internet Explorer.

About Security Cameras

As crime and theft with businesses continues to get stronger and stronger, the need for security increases as well.  Although security personnel is a must have, businesses need another form of security that isn’t quite as noticeable.  Crooks can spot an individual without a problem, which is where security cameras come into play. 

Security cameras are very popular these days, coming in many shapes and sizes.  The wired types can fit in speakers, clocks, and even smoke detectors.  The wireless types on the other hand are far more flexible and can be placed nearly anywhere.  Wireless security systems are a great addition to any home or business, as they can be placed in areas that a thief wouldn’t even begin to suspect.

For the home or business, Internet wireless security cameras are a great way to monitor remote video.  The system camera will transfer signals through a LAN adapter or wireless network on to a specific IP (Internet Protocol) address.  This can be a great way to keep a watchful eye on your property while you are on vacation or out of town.  There are some Internet systems that will alert you via email if there is any detection in movement.

The cameras that work with home surveillance systems are power driven, normally by 9 volt batteries, providing up to 10 hours of energy.  They are very powerful cameras, as even the slightest amount of movement will activate the motion sensors in the cameras.  Once the camera has been triggered, it will immediately start recording video, taking pictures, or transfer the live video feed to another computer.

There are also digital security cameras as well.  Even though they are smaller in size, they can still record video for a long period of time.  They are so popular these days due to the fact that the video or pictures that are stored on them can be saved and edited on a computer.  Digital security cameras also eliminate the needs for recording tapes as well, which can take up a lot of space and aren’t very safe for keeping in areas with high temperatures.  Digital security cameras store the information within their memory, which will help you keep up with the pictures and video feed.

Security cameras have been around for many years, gaining their reputation and popularity with businesses.  As years went by and they became more affordable people began to use them in their homes.  A security camera at home can be a great way to protect yourself from burglars and break-ins, keep an eye on the babysitter, or just monitor things while you are away.  Security cameras are very affordable and they can easily give the peace of mind in knowing that your home is protected no matter where you go.

Security At Work

Ensuring you have adequate security at work is incredibly important, both from a business perspective, and as a moral obligation for employers. This is the case for many reasons – to protect your staff (and possibly customers), to protect your business and its assets, to improve productivity and to prevent crimes of all kinds. Whether it’s a digital lock system then or a surveillance solution from Bosch security systems, you should have one or several security measures in place.

First of all you should focus on a good lock for your business premises. For small shops and restaurants a cylinder lock will be a good route to go down and these have many benefits over other mechanical locks such as the lever lock. One of these advantages is that a cylinder lock has more possible permeations than other mechanical locks, which makes it harder to break in to; the other is that they are easy and fairly easy to replace. Therefore should your workplace be robbed or a key go missing, you can fairly easily have the locks replaced.

For larger businesses however, digital locks have many more advantages and with lots of staff members will pay for the initial investment. These will be impossible to pick or open with a skeleton key (though they can be hacked) and can be operated or modified remotely to allow you to either let people in from an upstairs office, or change a code or security settings. With digital locks that utilise either pin codes or biometric data (such as finger prints), you will have the large advantage of not needing to give each employee a key and never needing to change the locks which can save a lot of money.

Another option in terms of locking mechanisms is to get a gate or shutter that can cover the front of your building. This is particularly useful for businesses with a ‘store front’ that looks out onto the street as it can help prevent accidental damage or vandalism by providing a barrier between the street and the windows and doors.

The next line of defence however is CCTV. A CCTV camera (good makes include Hikvision DVR and those from Bosch Security Systems or Samsung Techwin) will help you to monitor and record everything that happens within your premises which can help to dissuade crime or theft, but also act as evidence to aid in a police investigation or a court case should a crime occur and help improve your chances of getting what was stolen back. Look for a digital camera such as Hikvision DVR which is far superior to analogue models for larger businesses allowing for more ‘tracks’ to be recorded and enabling you to alter factors such as resolution and frame rate. Also ensure that your camera conforms to the ONVIF global standard to guarantee quality. Those models mentioned above, such as Samsung Techwin, should guarantee a certain amount of quality on their own. With all these systems and measures in place you can then hope that you will dissuade anyone from acts of crime directed towards your business or clients and rest assured you did everything in your power to prevent them.

Choosing a Home Security Camera

The security cameras are being each used every where at the moment, all the tree-lined avenues and almost all the warehouses and small stores have installed the levies of the monitoring to stop thefts and robberies with leveling of dwelling. You must have heard probably speak of the network of levies in the casinos of Fertile valleys, yes without the cameras that the personnel of the monitoring will not be 1/10 like effective.

To take to the signal from the commercial segment many companies introduced the camera of the homemade security posteriori part of some years, but, back then only the rich ones could produce the expensive systems of the camera of the homemade security. Nevertheless, nowadays with the development of the technology, as camera of the homemade security is obtaining more cheap and more people can produce it. Yes, it does not equal $30 today which it weighs is possible to be given return in a camera of the homemade security, he is not plus an option of the rich ones only. When selecting a camera of the homemade security that can take clear pictures in the radius you wish to install it.

The systems as the television to closed circuit analogous can work cheap but are not worthy of the money. It saves registered cover to the tapes that are not only expensive in the long operation but also it will take many from space. With the coming of the Internet and as I said previous, the development of the technology, of we it cheap has yet camera of the homemade security of the good quality available that they send the alive feedings to the Internet and save cover in an assured location. You can watch feds alive or leaf through with the data saved in any point of the time. Install the camera of the homemade security of two-three in a quarter depending on how he is great is the quarter and you can watch what she is entering ignited his house from 5 miles or of 5,000 miles far. For in a budget very tightened, there is the false camera of the homemade security that they are much as original and a little revolving link uniform in their axis like original but the this strategy are only effective in the prevention of the crime rather that to take the crime.

Nevertheless, if you are not in a budget you must go for the very small levies behind which she can be hidden or within objects and he is hard to find. These levies when they are combined with right software can give the perfect system him of the camera of the homemade security. On the other hand if you wish to make it clear to the thieves who its house is not a good option, it installs a great levy, necessity of a do for the people that installs false cameras, in a location in where can be seen easily.

What Is A Security Camera Video Capture Card?

It’s no longer mandatory to buy a complete surveillance system before you can hook the safety of your home and property to a digital security system. Your computer, two cameras, and a security video capture card will do the trick. But what is this card that makes the system work?

The Security Camera Video Capture Card

Your computer becomes a digital video recorder once you hook up a camera or video capture card. There are several breeds of camera video capture cards, and these are used for varied purposes ranging from taping a TV program, editing video images, or capturing images from different cameras.

The images from the TV, video, or cameras are transmitted into the computer’s hard disk, which also automatically stores the signals or recording. Your computer instantly becomes the nucleus of a video surveillance system. Translated, this simply means that with a few cameras and a security camera video capture card, your computer takes on a different but important role in your household.

The video capture card is attached through your computer’s port using a USB 2.0 cable, and once installed, works to convert the images from the video or cameras into a digital format that appears as clear or vivid images on the computer’s monitor. The hardware serves also serves as a built-in web server. You also get to enjoy live streaming directly from the Internet.

With this hardware, it is possible for you to install a surveillance system using 4 cameras, and you can view the images all at once in a single monitor! Just like in those old spy movie reruns, you have watched a hundred times.

Is The Video Card Costly?

Think about the card in terms of the protection of your hearth and home. The cost of the security camera video capture card becomes relative to the purpose and a $1,500 or $315 card is worth its price. Penny-pinching is out of the question when you are already using your computer for your video security system. Haven’t you saved hundreds just using your computer?

Your choice of video card will also depend highly on the functionality you demand from your security system. Are you using more than four cameras? Do you need a 24/7 recording, or do you only need the system to detect and give the alarm for motion detection?

The choice is yours, if you want to a $314 card or a $1,500 card that can show off many tricks. Remember that if you’re starting a surveillance system from scratch, meaning you’re getting an entire package, you’ll be spending something like $2,000 to $25,000, and it does not include the installation of the camera that runs about $500 to $1,000 per camera.

The cost of the security camera video capture card is peanuts compared to starter surveillance kit inclusive of monitors and DVR recorders. In the scheme of things, the video capture card is not pricey.

In a nutshell, the video capture card is a piece of technology that makes video surveillance affordable without compromising video quality. Since this simple hardware is the plug and play type of installation, there won’t be much problem in setting up the system.

The safety of your home and business property can be secured with just a small piece of security camera video capture card, your computer and a few cameras of different functionality. So what are you waiting for?

Get the Facts on a Home Security Camera System

Its a fact. Every fifteen seconds an apartment, condominium, home or business is burglarized in the U.S. Ironically, burglary is a highly preventable crime as most burglars rely on opportunity rather craft to perpetrate their crimes. This is why more home and business owners are implementing home security cameras into their security system.

Smaller Lighter and Much Cheaper to Buy

Affordability is possibly the greatest factor in the growing popularity of home security camera systems today. In fact, the cameras themselves have become smaller, lighter and less complicated as they have also become cheaper to buy. Also, they have become much easier to acquire now. In the past security cameras were basically a specialty item but now they can be easily purchased online form any number of sources.

Wireless Systems completely Do Away With Wiring

Security camera systems now start at around $400 or some an can  run up into the thousands of dollars for a more elaborate system. They also have become far more easier to install as well. In fact, wireless systems are now available that completely do away with the need for running any wires to and from the cameras.

Advancements in Digital Systems

However; the greatest amount of new technological advancements is now in the digital systems that can be connected to a security camera system. In the past, a security camera system required someone to watch a screen or a video tape recorder to record what was or wasn’t taking place.

A Phone Call From Your Security System

However; new digital technology has made for new security camera systems that are crammed full of state of the art features. For instance, now a digital security camera system can even be programmed to sound the alarm if it senses any movement in the area being watched. Or the system can email you or notify you by telephone if you choose.

Home Security Cameras

Installing security cameras is the most reliable to way achieve extensive home security and surveillance. Security cameras give you the ability to record and monitor who enters your home and nearly everything they do. There are several questions you need to take into consideration before integrating security cameras into your home. (1) Where are the best locations to place your security cameras? (2) Do black and white or color security cameras better fit your needs? (3) Do you want hard-wired or wireless security cameras?

With this information at hand, you will know precisely which functions you need your security cameras to perform, and be able to tailor your home surveillance to fit your needs.

Location:

To ensure the most effective surveillance of your home, the placement of your security cameras is of utmost importance. First and foremost, all entry points need to be monitored by high resolution security cameras of superior quality, permitting the recording of close-up face shots of everyone entering your home. Inside your home, wide angle color security cameras should be placed in all high traffic areas and rooms in which valuables are located.

The proper placement of security cameras permits you to maintain a record of many activities in your home, and you will be able to easily identify a person by the color of the clothes he or she is wearing. Having a high-resolution, close-up shot of a perpetrator’s face, knowing the color of his clothes, and a possessing a video recording of his activities is extremely valuable as evidence in court.

Black and White or Color Security Cameras:

Black and white security cameras are most often more cost-effective and can “see” better in lower light. Color security cameras give you the ability to obtain a more identifiable image of people and activities taking place in your abode. If you have a tight budget, keep in mind that installing black and white security cameras, which are lower priced but not as detailed as some color security cameras, is better than no security cameras at all.

Wireless or Hard-Wired:

Choosing between wireless and hard-wired security cameras is can be a daunting task. Wireless security cameras are often preferred. Why? (1) Quickly installed wherever you need without a professional (2) Ability to take with you if you move (3) Extremely inconspicuous, without wires attracting attention.

Hard-wired security cameras are the ideal choice for permanent areas that need constant monitoring, or if your current security system is hard-wired and wireless security cameras are not compatible. Wireless and hard-wired security cameras both get the job of monitoring your home done, and ultimately the choice is what you feel fits your needs best.

Security cameras, either black and white, color, hard-wired, or wireless, give you high quality home protection by constantly monitoring particular areas of your home. The incorporation of security cameras gives you reliable assurance about the state of your home security—which is of utmost importance.

Cctv Surveillance and Security

Stating the obvious but what does CCTV mean ?  Simply Closed Circuit Tele-Vision.

Having said that what most of understand by CCTV is much wider than CCTV would imply.  Early CCTV surveillance systems were just as you’d expect – some type of camera linked to a television screen or monitor.  These early systems may not even have included the ability to record what was happening – just simply capture a picture in one location and display the contents on a screen elsewhere.
How things have changed!  Clearly commercial CCTV surveillance systems have been more advanced than this for many years but now we have the ability to install and utilise sophisticated CCTV surveillance systems in our homes and offices with considerably reduced cost and increased facilities.
It is still possible and sometimes a simple requirement just to have a camera linked to a monitor elsewhere – i.e. the simple entry ‘phone system.  There is no recording requirement – you just wish to know who is at your front door – so you have a camera and a monitor.  Today however, most systems can be linked – via a computer system – to provide low cost systems with a wealth of additional facilities.

Some of the facilities offered by using a computer system are:-
0    -    Cameras can be linked to a computer network using low cost ‘cat-5′ cabling or can utilise wireless technology.
0    -    If you chose to provide each camera on your network with an ‘IP address’ then you can potentially access ‘what the camera sees’ from any computer with access to the web.  This means that you could (you don’t have to) access the camera or cameras) in your home from your office or from a friends home etc.
0    -    With the recent advent of large and cheap disks (250mb to 1tb disks are now available and mean you no longer need an array of disks or complicated tape backup) you can now record many hours of footage at a relatively low cost.
0    -    Digital cameras have again made huge breakthroughs in terms of price and features.  You can now purchase low cost cameras (colour or black and white) – for internal or external use.
0    -    Infrared cameras also provide you with additional features if you wish.

Understanding the basics will quickly enable you to design or specify what you require from you own system.  Again stating the obvious – you now need to establish what is the purpose of your system?

If you are looking for a home surveillance cctv system then your requirements would be different than that of an office based system or a commercial system for monitoring traffic for example.
Home security is perhaps the most obvious requirement but again individual requirements may require the monitoring of a large garden, driveway, garage or similar external points or just the interior.  An apartment or flat may have few access points but equally you do want them closely monitored.
