Best Security Camera: 2014-04-06

See through wall cameras do exist within the government, what do you think we can do?

Bob

See through walls cameras do exist within the government, The government has more advanced technology then what you would see on www.timedomain.com 2â11.

The Governments explanation of duration of classifications
Duration of classification
Information will be declassified as soon as it no longer meets the standards for classification. Information will remain classified as long as it is in the interest of national security and meets the criteria stated in this regulation. At the time an item of information is originally classified, the original classifier must decide the length of time the information will require classification and select an appropriate declassification date or event. The term âtime or event phased
declassification date,â used for acquisition programs, is also synonymous with the term âdeclassification dateâ as used
in this regulation. The declassification date indicates when the information no longer requires protection in the interests of national security. When deciding on the declassification date or event, the following options are the only ones available to the OCA:

The reason this is not classified is because some other technology took its place, they had ability to see through walls reasonably well on 4/15/2005. depending on when it became declassified the technology existed four to five years, even more until it was available for public viewing. Listed here
-(type in to Google dd1494 Darpa, click the link and download the PDF) they will not let me display the link so add whats in th and type it in the web address bar.
Page 92, Echo point likely existed during the years of 2000, more likely sooner. That device was capable of seeing through walls. The ones you can find on the internet are the same type and have the same technology....
-Remind you this is 2012, and what they have now is way more advanced.
The GOVERNMENT HAS TECHNOLOGY YOU AREN"T AWARE ABOUT AND WILL NEVER BE!
-Echopoint is no where to be found on the internet, It says "It Provides visibility of assets including ordinance by reporting location and status of assets by use of wireless communications."

Technology now a days can see through walls and are of use to domestic agency's for the purpose of counter terrorism and other activities, Think the FBI just hang out outside your house? nope they are at your next door neighbors looking through the walls.

The FBI, use this as well as computers to view your location within your house, its not against the law because the constitution maintains that search and seizure is illegal, not just search. The Computers are for looking things up of what you say (which is a sort of document storage within itself) (look up the history) and maintaining and tracking your habits, Which is considered an illegal collection of evidence, that they will not use in court, but will use to track you down and get to know you better.
There are cases, reported and non-reported which the government has abused these technology's... the likely hood of your getting that information. ZERO. Do something about your rights, your privacy and yourself, write a letter to congress banning these devices for surveillance, because more often then not people who don't think they are doing anything wrong are...

-Give me the most honest man and have him write six sentences, I will be sure to find something that I can use to have him hanged--

What do you think we can do? Its called STTW technology.
Philo, you must be an FBI agent, DARPA right there is saying it exists. So obviously you are completely wrong, and being a beginner in physics doesn't give you the authority to denounce the governments findings and technology, it is quite in fact real, Did you read the documents title? it wasn't all about that such device. And Trust me, as a citizen researcher it is quite in fact real.

Home surveillance security camera advice, suggestions, help please!?

Amy M.

Good Morning,

We need some really good advice on surveillance cameras for our home. Our back fence is along a bayou and we need cameras in case the uninvited get ideas. We have a 2 story house so am thinking we can get a good range of area. We are totally naive to this kind of thing and just have no idea what to look for. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
My husband and I both have iPhones so we are looking for a system that we can some how pull up the camera view when we are away on our phones.

Below is what we are interested and are looking for:
- Color instead of black & white
- Only really need 4 cameras
- I just got laid off from my job so we are looking for something economical and not to expensive but also we are wanting good quality
- something easy as neither of us are very computer literate or technologically smart!!
- be able to monitor from our iPhone's

questions.....
- What is easier wireless or ones with wires/cables?
- If wireless there is a lot of high winds with where we live will this matter?
- we need a DVR to record correct?
- any recommendations on a brand? or where to buy that is the best?

Sorry I am kind of all over the place with this and am trying to gather my thoughts.
Any advice would be appreciated!

Thank you

Answer
Wireless Home Security Systems are the best way to go. There's a coupon on the link provided in the source to get one.

What camera surveillance systems are safe?

sarebro_da

I have recently been looking into home security, surveillance cameras. I don't know much about cameras and I was looking mostly because I believe we have had people snooping around our house every now and then checking things out. I know I heard voices the other night and I am very worried. I am also afraid however that other people can log into my system and watch me. After all if I can watch if on my pda or computer doesn't that mean that anyone can watch me? And if anyone knows anything about good camera systems or what brand is good or anything like that please tell me im in the dark.

Sincerely,
Ashley

Answer
There are different types of surveillance cameras available in the market. From all the collection of the surveillance cameras, wireless cameras have great importance that makes the security more assured. Wireless surveillance camera gives good results and you can also record the activities. Surveillance cameras are used in the homes as well as in the public location. You can say that surveillance cameras are one of the alarm systems for monitoring the circumstances. When you need for monitoring your home or office, you can take surveillance cameras to capture live activities around you... http://www.thealarmsystems.com/surveillance-cameras.php

Need good security camera software?

Dick B

so i am going to receive a Foscam FI8905W security camera soon and i wanted to get a good program to go along with it to run on a dedicated computer. i want a program that does motion detect and can automatically delete old recordings after a certain timeline. all suggestions appreciated thanks!

Answer
Not all software can work with IP cams, there is no real industrial standard for them.

The Webcam Zone Trigger software works with most Foscam models, it does motion detection and it has a "file cleaning" feature in the settings.

security camera help!?

i own a motel and have a big parking lot.

i would like to have a camera system that would have 8 cameras, i would be able to watch it over the internet and record on a dvr. i was wondering what kind would be good to buy and which is the best brand . if i could i would like to have zoom on a camera so i can zoom in and see good quality picture.

if some one could help me that would be great.
thanks

Answer
Lauren and dunbar if you don't know CCTV products please do not give people advice.

Lauren , Every single one of your posts relating to security cameras advertises spytown which is blatant disregard of posting rules.

Spy-town products are low quality and will not meet the needs of most homeowners, and will definitely not meet the needs for a business such a hotel. not to mention you cant tell the quality of a product from an online store unless ypu have seen them working or if they have a demo you can connect to.

and Dunbar those are webcams and are not used for security purposes as they are low frame rate, low quality and dont have water mark so the images wont hold up in couart not to mention if your internet goes down you have no security and webcams are used for live viewing not for storing the images.

There cameras are not high resolution and have a low signal to noise ratio resulting in larger file sizes and lower quality images. not to mention they only do CIF resolution for the recorders which will not allow the user to zoom in which if you had read his post he would like to do.

You either work for spytown or you do not know a thing about CCTV most likely both and quite frankly I am sick and tired of people misleading others for there own benefit.

Hello

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, itâs 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: Ascendentâs 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 DVRâs 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 Groupâs 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.

Instructions on how to connect to Ascendentâs DVR with Internet Explorer:

1) http://connect.ascendentgroup.com/ (Must be Internet explorer)
2) Install active X control
3) Hit âConnect)
4) DVR type PC
5) DVR code SITE-100
6) User ID Demo (case sensitive)
7) Password demo (lower case)
8) Hit extend config
9) IP address: 24.66.224.223
10) And hit connect

Again I recommend going with a PC based DVR but if you don't want to spend the money I suggest Ascendent's AVP-4120 DVR or Pelco's DX-4000 as they will allow you to view all your cameras instantly from anywhere in the world using either IE. The AVP-8240DVDUSB will also allow MAC platforms as well as PC to remotely view cameras and it uses the new H.264 codec but no standalone will offer the video streaming or performance a good PC based DVR will.

Wireless Home Security Surveillance Camera system?

praveen

Hello,
For my house, i want to buy a wireless camera security surveillance system. Obviously, there are too many options. Can someone give me a feedback on any preferred brand or any feedback on what I should be looking for while buying this costly system? One potential option I found so far is
Swann SWDVK-825508 8-Channel Digital Video Recorder with Smartphone Viewing and 8 x PRO-550 Cameras
by Swann

Answer
For consumer grade systems, Swann and Lorex make fine equipment. I installed a Swann 8 channel (using only 4 cameras - but planning to add 4 more cameras later). The included/free SmartPhone app for remote viewing works well but can use lots of battery power as it is a stream of video over wifi. The included 8 cameras in the system you listed don't have a very far night vision "throw" (about 10 feet). Another option to consider is this 4-camera, 8 channel DVR kit
http://www.swann.com/s/products/view/?product=1530
plus four of these:
http://www.swann.com/s/products/view/?product=1144
Any camera with a composite video feed will work including those from Lorex, Q-See and others.

Consider adding a VGA monitor or TV (I use the "extra" video inputs on 4 TVs located in different rooms of the house so visibility is not so limited to a single place).

The system you linked us to is not a "wireless" system. The connection between the cameras and the DVR is a wired connection. The cable connecting these items has a connector for the video; a connector for power and a connector for limited pan/tilt/zoom control. (The zoom is the part that actually works - you would need a pan/tilt head in order for that capability to work and the zoom is digital zoom - not optical zoom). Keep this in mind: A single cable with multiple connectors connects the camera to the DVR and power.

In a wireless video system, the camera needs power (wire #1). The video is sent to a base station wirelessly. The base station connects to the DVR (wire #2) and power (wire #3). A "wireless" security camera uses more wires than a wireless system.
http://www.swann.com/s/products/view/?product=1028

The only thing "wireless" about the DVR kit in the link you provided us is that when the DVR is added to the computer network at your house, that wifi signal sending video to a smartphone or Windows computer is wireless.

Another option is to use IP network based security cameras but a dedicated computer (rather than a standalone DVR) is needed to be recording the video. These cameras tend to be a bit more expensive, especially it they are outdoor rated. And they need local camera power, too - so not exactly "wireless" either. Because they become a node of the local house's computer (IP) network, the complexity moves from the analog camera cabling to computer network implementation.

In either case, making the video stream available to a computer or a smartphone - locally or remotely - requires a decent knowledge of computer network configuration (especially if the computer network is to be secure).

Making my own private home security system.?

Ryan

Alright, I don't trust private security systems, and money is not an object for this particular project. I want to build a private home security system that monitors both the Outside of my home as well as the Inside. I want it to be wireless, I want to set up my own remote server, and I want to access my video feeds from anywhere on Earth. Bonus points for cameras that I can swivel/tilt/zoom remotely. Where should I start looking to create my own system? Are there particular kits under one name that I can buy? Will I have to buy the cameras, servers, and various phone apps separate? What's the best way to make my own private security system?

Answer
Pelco. http://www.pelco.com/sites/global/en/home.page

"Wireless" video cameras need wires... The video gets sent wirelessly and the camera still needs a wire for power (so do the Pan/Tilt/Zoom motors) whether the power is from the regular AC power supply or solar panel recharging batteries.

You won't find Pelco equipment in any retail stores. They don't sell "kits" and usually require purchase from an authorized distributor (that will install and maintain the system).

You can spend a lot less money and get a decent residential system - Swann and Lorex are good sources. The cameras and DVRare available on Amazon, Fry's and lots of other places.

The number of cameras, whether outdoor rated, nightvision, the number of monitors installed, how it is configured to the network router for secure remote access, the ability to pan, tilt or zoom, number of PTZ controllers, internal hard drive size of the DVR, battery back-up systems for the DVR, cameras and router... and more - all contribute to the price of the system.

Security camera quality?

chris h

I need help choosing outdoor daytime and night vision cameras. I currently have a camera system but the camera's are not that great. I don't know the specs on them. When the sun is setting the camera's have the best picture imaginable. But other then that they suck! So I'm looking for the best picture I can get day and night. Around 60 to 75 bucks. I will. Need 4.any recommendations? Thanks

Answer
You want "best picture I can get day and night" but you have not budgeted enough per camera. For residential cameras, I generally spend between $120 and $200 per camera. I typically use Swann or Lorex equipment for residential installations.

Need help w/ outdoor security camera system.?

melissa

I need to buy an outdoor security camera system. Night vision and distance are a must. Need at least 4 cameras. Any recommendations? This will be my first security cam purchase so any info will be greatly appreciated! oh yeah, I'd prefer a reasonably priced system... Like maybe below $600 and still a good system. Thanks for the help 8-)

Answer
Hello

Peter that is the worst advise I have heard in a long time Costco, Walmart and online companies like Lorex (coscto sells lorex) sell very low quality cameras and often don't offer watermark so there images cant even hold up in court.

Giving advice when you don't know what your talking about is like giving direction to a place you don't now where it is, all you doing is wasting there time and in this case there money too.

The cameras from costco and walmart are used as nanny cameras that's all there good for.
Most IR cameras give you about 1/3 of the vision as advertised they call it "projected" distance now this had no coloration with what the camera will actually see at night.

A Varifocal (can change what the camera can see) lens with a good aperture 2 good examples are 5-50mm or 2.9~10mm. A fixed lens almost never works when installing a camera outdoors. Again to ensure you are getting a good lens and optics stick to name brands and avoid online retailers, eBay, Swann Lorex, Costco and Q see and other cheap no name products.

Also if you are buying good cameras get a decent DVR.

A good outdoor Camera will have

High resolution (520TVL or higher)
Good signal to noise ratio (S/N 49DB or 50DB)
A true Sony CCD (not Chinese knockoff)
Rugged enclosure to handle vandals and environments
At least IP 66 and a suitable temperature rating for you region
IR LED's to see in pitch dark: active IR rating not projected IR as projected IR has no coloration with how far the camera can see.
2 or 3 different sized LED;s 1 size LED one type of illumination means you either wont get distance or wide angle and you want both.

I would go with the VIS-56IR-2910
http://dealer.ascendentgroup.com//dvr-irâ¦

this camera will give you 110 feet of clear vision in complete darkness and great images by day its the on I recommend for budget customer who need outdoor IR camera.

Cameras that have high resolution, and great signal to noise ratio can reducing file size on DVR's up to 50% and offer better images.

Low budget Economical
ASC-520B21IR-36
Economical Infrared Bullet Camera
520TVL
see 25 feet outdoors
Fixed 3.6mm lens
35~-25C IP 66
MSRP $110.00

http://dealer.ascendentgroup.com//ascentâ¦

Cheap option would never suggest a camera lower then this one
(still much higher quality then Costco, Lorex, Swann, Qsee, and other no name products imported from china)

ASC-380B24IR-36
Infrared Bullet Camera
380TVL
see 25 feet outdoors
Fixed 3.6mm lens
35~-25C IP 66
MSRP $75.00

Not all CCTV equipment is created equal, in fact there are many options that offer varying performance much like the automobile industry. In the world of CCTV you can find the equivalent of a $2,000 golf cart and a $350,000 Ferrari and everything in between. Both have 4 wheels but that's where the similarities end, itâs under the hood that counts.

Just like any other consumer electronic in the end you get what you pay for. Most retailers and sellers make about a 40-80% profit margin, this is after costs like shipping and overhead. That means when you buy a product that costs $100.00 the manufacturer usually has only spent $30 to build it which simply means itâs not a good product and will probably have a working life of about 2 months. There is a reason these products are 1/10 of the price of good and reliable DVR brand names. The type of seller these products attract are online sellers (ebay) and will make profits margins as low as 2% which means they canât afford to offer good service or allow for RMAs (returns).

What's the best security camera system I can get for my backyard without spending more than $500?

kayla_b_32

I've read that X10 cameras are not good in the dark, and that most wireless cameras can be hijacked by scanners, so other people might actually be watching you while you enjoy your yard! Protection One just gave me an estimate of $3,000 for 4 cameras! Any suggestions? I'm trying to catch vandals.

Answer
Hello

$500.00 is low and $3000 is high I would go with a budget $1500.00 depending if you want outdoor or indoor cameras.

if you need outdoor cameras make sure the camera is rated for the temperature variance your region is.

Not all CCTV equipment is created equal, in fact there are many options that offer varying performance much like the automobile industry. In the world of CCTV you can find the equivalent of a $2,000 golf cart and a $350,000 Ferrari and everything in between. Both have 4 wheels but that's where the similarities end, itâs under the hood that counts.

Just like any other consumer electronic in the end you get what you pay for. Most retailers and sellers make about a 40-80% profit margin, this is after costs like shipping and overhead. That means when you buy a product that costs $100.00 the manufacturer usually has only spent $30 to build it which simply means itâs not a good product and will probably have a working life of about 2 months. There is a reason these products are 1/10 of the price of good and reliable DVR brand names. The type of seller these products attract are online sellers (ebay) and will make profits margins as low as 2% which means they canât afford to offer good service or allow for RMAs (returns). Cheap products are like disposable razors they are NOT designed to last for a long time and you will end up replacing them every 2 months.

Now some products can be made cheaply like ipod cases, screen protectors, and other simple products with no moving parts or electronics. DVRs need to be good quality as they run 24/7 (20X more than the average electronic device) and process anywhere from 30-480 frames per second which in a year is over 15 billion images, and a good DVR should last 3-5 years.

A true DVR and camera require 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 and are one of the few products that canât be made both well and cheaply. Cheap and inexpensive products like Q-see, X10, Swan, Lorex, and other low grade DVRâs and cameras sold by Tiger Direct, Newegg, radio shack Sams Club, are not used by any security professional and should only be used by hobbyists.

To be honest Swan sells complete Garbage and is not used by anyone who has worked with CCTV or security products. I know other manufactures who used the same product as them and they felt they wee such poor quality they offered money back and replaced them at there cost. They are poor quality especially for IR cameras, due to low quality material, low S/N ratio, and c grade CCD image chips. I don't know why "TheMan" recommended swan clearly he has no experience with CCTV products.

If you are only going to spend 70$ on cameras then you should buy 15 dummy cameras they will be just as effective and cheaper hen swan cameras.

Also as far as night vision or IR cameras go most do not give good images in the dark. Many companies claim good night vision but there are only a handful of brands who give night vision over 30 feet out doors. normally if a cameras is rated 150 feet of IR it will give you ok images at 30 feet at night and good images at about 20 if rated for 60 feet you might get 15 indoors and will be useless outdoors.

Some good CCTV brands that I recommend are Bosch, Pelco, Honeywell and Ascendent.

http://www.ascendentgroup.com (Great IR cameras)
www.honeywell.com
www.pelco.com/
http://www.bosch.com

Economical DVR's
Two good economical DVRs I would recommend are Ascendent's AVP-4120 DVR or Pelco's DX-400. They will allow you to view all your cameras instantly from anywhere in the world using either IE, or a client software. The AVP-4120 uses the latest H.264 codec to improve streaming and recording time, and will allow PCs and Apple computers to remotely view cameras. These are the DVRs I would recommend that are good quality and affordable from companies who stand behind there products.

Again if you are going to buy Swan products save money and get dummy cameras they are just as affective and you will be less disappointed.

Hope this Helps,

night vision digital cameras?

Justin M

i am after a camcorder that does night vision as well as in the day. i havnt got a lot of money i ve tried looking and carnt seem to find the right one. i want it to record over 20hrs a day. can anyone advise me which one is the best. i am in uk. so got to be able to plug in a uk socket. thankuuuuuuu.
B.E.I yes your right a security camera. that would be cheaper than a camcorder. and yes its because of security. i have neighbours from hell. they have persucuted me for yrs. i have the council involved. and two men attacked me. from that house! no proofr it was them polic carnt do nothing. and im female middle age cancer survivor!

Answer
Recording over 20 hours a day?!?!?!? Your better off searching for a security camera for several reasons:

1)You would need a camcorder with a 300GB harddrive (for DV, 1GB for 4 to 4.6 minutes of recording).
2) Consumer grade units are not meant to run that long
3)All camcorders that I have seen (and own) that can do night vision, need to be switched to that mode, it doesn't do it automatically.

Check out this stuff... http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/browse/Surveillance-Video/ci/3496/N/4293342959

Good luck.

What the best priced security camera w/night vision and the ability to save video footage without a DVR?

Kamen

No 3-digit costs please.

Answer
To record without a DVR you either have to hook the camera up to a PC directly or use one with a built-in SD memory card slot. The problem with SD memory card slots is that the recorded data can fill the available storage space up super fast.

D-Link has some of the best and easiest to use cameras. They can automatically detect your network and they have an extremely user friendly wizard to help set the camera up. Out of all the different brands that we have worked with we find the D-Link brand to be the simplest to set up.

Here is a camera that would do what you want and is wifi compatible so you don't have to have cables running everywhere. The only thing is it needs a PC to store its data.
http://www.apexcctv.com/p-1464-d-link-dcs-931l-home-security-cloud-ip-cube-camera.aspx

Here is the lowest end model from D-Link that includes a micro SD memory card slot. These cameras are going to be more expensive and will go in to the 3-digit range.

How to set up a security camera and view it through the internet?

Bobby Chan

Hi so we have a security camera that allows up to view our property. Does anyone have any step by step instructions on how to set up the camera on a webpage or something through the internet so i am able to view the camera when i am not at home?
thanks.

Answer
One easy solution would be to purchase something like a Linksys internet video camera (linked below) that you can find in many stores or online and runs about $90-$100. Give it power, plug it into your router, and you can access the feed when not at home.

There are other similar products on the market.

If your goal is to use an existing webcam setup, that would be a little more complicated.

how I can set my security cameras on the internet?

Greg Roman

how I can set my security cameras on the internet. I have wire350 router and SHR104 samsung cameras, What I need to do?

Answer
Unless you have a dvr multiple cameras are pretty well useless. Either you need a recording program on a machine running 24/7 or a proper dvr. Either of these would have a remote viewing program which requires forwarding a port through your router to the machine. For a computer connected system you would also need to open the same port on the firewall. If they are IP cameras you would need to give each a static IP address outside the router DHCP pool of addresses but within the same subnet. You would also need to assign a different port to each camera. Then you have to set up forwarding of each port on the router to point to the appropriate address internally.

What is the RANGE of a 12V, 1Amp power supply of a security camera?

jake

Hello guys, Im connecting a security camera (12V 0.45A), but the cord of the power supply is too short (4 feet) and I need to make it longer. If I buy a male-female jack extension, lets say 35 feet long, will it loose power?

Answer
Short answer: that won't be a problem.

Technically, yes, the extension cord causes a bit of loss due to heat, resistance, and other factors. But a typical 120V 15A home outlet can supply more than enough power to cover the loss.

You have more to worry over the cord's placement than you do about its performance.

Iraq security issue?

Ikeris

I was wondering why this Iraq pullout has to be so difficult, or better yet why is it so hard to implement any security measures for the area. I was having a discussion with a friend of mine about the security issues in Iraq and how best to resolve them, When he suggested that they should install security cameras like the ones in great Britt you would then be able to track all suspicious activity and the cost could be handled by the country's oil resources
this seemed like the perfect solution to the problem especially the problem of car bombing and the placement of IED's as they could easily be tracked back to the source. there is a saying in the army "keep it simple stupid" and this is as simple a solution as it gets. please let me know what you think

Answer
It could work in the future, but not know.

One example of what they use here is number plate recognition software. In Iraq, because of the lawlessness there, number plate recognition would not be of any use. In addition, it is easier to keep track of terror suspects because they make up such a small percentage of the Muslim population which itself is not that large a percentage of the UK population.

In Iraq, the country is almost 100% Muslim, and lots more are involved in suspicious activites. There are too many people to try to keep tabs on, and also too few trustworthy people to do this.

The security forces are infiltrated with those who are keen to attack the very forces that are in Iraq to help Iraq and the Iraqi people. They are going to cover the tracks of those involved in terror attacks, not expose them.

Last of all, because of the poverty and lawlessness there, any cameras would soon get nicked!

How can I use my webcam as a security camera?

bablyon_20

Hi;
I'd like to be able to use my webcam to take a picture when it detects motion within it's field of vision, and send it to an email address - something similar to Mugshot, (except that doesnt support authenticated SMTP by the looks of it, unless by request). Does anyone out there know of any similar product?

Answer
IP surveillance technology has reached one of those "perfect storm" moments. Today's digital cameras are inexpensive and easy to install. Wired and wireless networks alike are ubiquitous. And the camera-monitoring software is robust, easy-to-use and often free. Demand for security cams is high among both businesses and home users, and system builders stand to capitalize on this surging wave by offering installation services and support. There's even potential for computer and server upgrades, as some companies will be looking to build dedicated systems that have guaranteed bandwidth and quality of service (QoS) over the video network.
Cameras are popping up all over the place. You can find them at retail businesses, factory floors, homes, apartments, landmarks, schools, financial institutions and transportation centers, to name but a few. Applications range from basic security and safety to quality control monitoring.

Although you can use these cameras over the Web, they're not really Webcams, which are those small, low-tech cameras designed for online socializing. Rather, IP-based cameras connect directly to IP networks, record at higher frame rates, and generally have better resolution then Webcams. They can pan, tilt and zoom, and many have one-way or two-way audio capabilities. They also come with monitoring and management software that lets you trigger alarms and e-mail alerts when certain events occur. For example, you can designate motion detection areas within a frame that generate alerts when motion occurs. Or you can set the system to begin recording when certain events occur or timers are set. Examples of motion events might include a person walking into the frame or a car driving across a designated area.

Since these systems are IP-based, you can monitor, store, and archive video, audio and associated application data over the Internet or across private data networks. The video can be carried anywhere the IP network extends, as opposed to closed-circuit television (CCTV) systems that require proprietary equipment and dedicated coaxial cabling. Anyone with the proper security clearance and a standard browser can monitor video, and control and configure the cameras on the network.

You need to have a fairly robust wired or wireless network set up for a successful IP surveillance roll-out. This Recipe assumes that you have a typical 10/100 wired or 802.11g wireless network already set up. We will, however, look at some Power over Ethernet (PoE) networking equipment and discuss the advantages of that type of system as well. PoE allows you to send power over ethernet lines so you don't have to place the cameras near power sources.

Finally, a note on what all this will cost you. Simply put, pricing will depend on several factors you'll need to carefully consider: Labor rates, the camera(s) selected, the structure of the building(s), the location of power outlets, the location of network infrastructure, etc.

Big Benefits

A quick rundown of the main benefits of IP surveillance follows. Use these points when pitching solutions to your customers, and they will quickly recognize the advantages.

â¢Utilizes existing IP infrastructure.
â¢Highly scalable.
â¢Flexible camera placement: PoE eliminates need for local power source; Wi-Fi eliminates need for hard-wired ethernet cable. Wi-Fi stands for Wireless Fidelity, and Wi-Fi is pretty much a noun these days, and has even become synonymous with the more generic term "wireless."
â¢Remote viewing from anywhere/anytime via a standard Web browser.
â¢Standards-based, allowing multi-vendor solutions and integration.
â¢Better image quality than closed circuit TV (CCTV) analog systems.
â¢Open storage and server systems scale easily and cheaply, with no need for specialized recording equipment or training.
â¢Secure: Data can be encrypted across the network, so only the cameras and servers know what kind of packets to expect across the system. Without the proper authentication keys, outsiders can't break into the network to steal video data or feed false video into the system. Also, any interruption to the data stream can automatically trigger alarms and alerts.
Ingredients

Let's get into the two main areas of componentsâthe cameras and the networkâthat we'll need for building out an IP camera surveillance system.

Cameras: Most professionals are deploying products from D-Link of Fountain Valley, California. The company has been around for 20 years, and it offers quality cameras at reasonable prices. I recommend them.

I tested D-Link's DCS-6620G, DCS-5300G, DCS-3220G, DCS-2120 and DCS-950G cameras. I've listed them in order from fully featured to bare-bones. The DSC-6620G is the deluxe model, with all the ......MORE http://www.crn.com/white-box/192202279;jsessionid=QHVPJ5ULF1U3ZQE1GHOSKH4ATMY32JVN?pgno=2

how to make cordless home phones work better?

klara (:

is there a way to make cordless phones work better with less static or longer range?
i have a 5.8 phone, but i need it to work better im not gonan get a new one

Answer
replace your phones with DECT phones...
only buy pansaonic..

stay away from uniden and vtech...

check your line with a corded phone to ensure that the static is not on the line or jack... and if there is static at the jack, check the NID with the corded phone to determine if the static is inside or outside of your home... if outside call your local telephone provider to make the repairs... if inside and you have wire maintenance then the phone company can come and make the repairs free, otherwise they will charge you - or you can do it yourself, or have someone else do it...

DECT phones operate on 1.9Ghz which is an unlicenced radio spectrum set aside by the FCC for cordless telephone devices only... so other devices should not interfere... also with RF the lower the frequency the further the range, so they will provide better range than 2.4 and 5.8Ghz phones...

2.4Ghz phones operate within the same frequencies as many consumer electronic devices - wifi, cordless intercoms, cordless baby monitors, cordless video security cameras, microwave ovens..... etc..

placement of the main base - that connects to the dial tone, is also important.. you want to locate the main base in a location centered on the area you are attempting to cover with the cordless phone... keep in mind that physical obstructions (doors, floors, etc) can block or reduce the signal level and range of the phones.....

Can i view my existing security cameras online without software?

ive got a small business. and ive got cameras at my shop. can i view them from home online on my computer without software or without spending a bunch of money? thanks

Answer
There are 2 types of CCTV cameras:
1. traditional CCTV cameras with analogue video signal output
2. modern network cameras (IP cameras) with Ethernet network plug RJ-45

In case of traditional CCTV cameras you need additional equipment for remote monitoring

But if you have IP cameras installed mostlikely you can easily organize remote monitoring.
With most of IP cameras you can see live video using your Internet browswer (like Internet Explorer) when you type IP address in the browswer. Something like http:// 192.168.1.1
(if the camera as IP address 192.168.1.1).

To record the video you need additional software. There are plenty (maybe 50) diffrent IP video software vendors. For a start you can have a look on software list at http://www.video-home-surveillance.com/

Additionally some IP cameras can send emails with images when motion detectors "sees" motion. In this case you can go without any additional software. E.g. have a look on AXIS cameras at http://www.axis.com

But in case if you have traditional CCTV cameras to make the remote monitoring you will need
a DVR (digital video recorder) with remote access or a DVR board with a special surveillance software to make remote monitoring.

Remote Security Camera?

Gary B

Planning on buying a home, I want too put a Security Camera in the home so I can monitor the home. Looking at 800 miles.
I understand the principle of the camera. What is a needed too support the camera? I presume another computer? Then what links that computer location "B" too my home Computer location "A" Again I presume the Internet,Does that link have too be high speed,can it be dial-up? But what happens at location "B" when I have a power failure and I have too re-boot that system,how is that done? And what program bridges the two computers too gether, If on the internet is this secure where only I can monitor?

Answer
There are a couple of ways that this can be done.

The easiest way would be to use what is known as an "IP camera." This is a CCTV camera with a built-in network adapter. You plug the IP camera into the internet. In a residential application, this would typically require a high-speed connection, such as DSL or cable. The IP camera is assigned its own IP address (such as 12.123.45.123).

At the viewing end, you would need a standard personal computer with an internet connection. To view the camera, you use a standard web browser, and enter the IP address to connect to the camera. There is usually a log-on screen that requires you to enter a username and password before you can start viewing. Some IP camera manufacturers also have their own software for viewing that work like the web browser but offer additional features.

So with the IP camera, you would need just the camera and an internet connection at the house, and just a standard PC with a network connection at the viewing location. With this arrangement, you could view the camera from anywhere in the world. The IP camera would pretty much restart itself in the event of power failure so there would be no issues with rebooting, etc. just so long as the network connection was intact.

A major manufacturer of IP cameras is: http://www.axis.com

Your second choice would be to use what is known as a "remote video viewing system". This requires the use of a video transmission unit (VTU) and one or more standard CCTV cameras. You plug the cameras into the VTU, and then plug the VTU into a standard phone jack. If you have ISDN, that works best, but a regular telephone line works also.

At the viewing end, you would need to have a standard PC that had a dial-up modem. You would need to install viewing software that came with the VTU on this PC. To view the camera, you simply launch the software and click a button. This establishes a connection with the VTU and the other end and allows you to view the camera.

One manufacturer of remote viewing systems is: http://www.ozvision.com

The IP camera with high-speed connections connections would allow you to view real time (or nearly real time) video so would offer the best viewing experience. The remote viewing system doesn't require high-speed connections, but typically offers less than real time video viewing.

What is the best security camera for night?

Mike

I live out in the country and have been robbed recently. I currently have security cameras, but they are not the best of quality. I have a 4 channel DVR from Lorex and all the cords are ran already so I would perfer wired cameras. Without spending lots of money, what's the best bang for my buck? I need to see clearly at night about 100 feet. Also too, does having too many lights effect the IR of the camera? Is less or more IR rating of camera better? Thank you.

Answer
This camera is probably one of the best security cameras out there. It has a 65' illumination range, its indoor/outdoor, has 23 LEDs and has high resolution (700 TVL)

The second camera is pretty similiar, same brand and everything, but has a 100' illumination range and 36 LEDs.

The IR switches on when the light around the camera is 0 lux or below. If you leave a light on by the cameras all night they'll never switch over to IR mode, but if it is dark by the camera they should switch over. The light sensitivity or IR rating is how much light there needs to be for the camera to switch modes, the cameras I listed have a sensitivity of 0 lux, which means if there is less light out than a candle would provide, the camera will switch to IR mode.

Where can I buy a wireless security camera system for exterior use?

Billy

I am interested in buying a wireless security camera system but I don't know where I can find one. It's not something I can just find at walmart. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Answer
WOW bad avice

You can take your advice from people who Google or a security professional who specializes in CCTV.

Peter Brissette: there is nothing new about the products on your website in fact there are many misleading statements. many offer 3G and IE connection.

On your website you claim:
4GB Micro SD Card for video storage (7 to 10 days)

Truth: a high resolution camera with the smallest file size will use over 15GB-30GB a day (with 40% motion) a 4GB card will give you hours not days.

There is nothing new about the products you offer they are lower then the average product out there.
There good for nany cameras but not for a security system.

the products you sell (except for PTZ) only fixed cameras which will almost never work as you cant adjust the view.

there is nothing bad about your products but they are not high end please don't claim them to be.
They should mainly be used for nany cameras not for people who are interested in security (I don't think you even have watermark so images wont hold up in court though cant confirm as your website has very little information and even less specs.)

Hello sorry about that

You don't want to record 24 hours a day you want to record on motion so if there is no moment you don't records this will increase your storage a and decrease the amount of video you need to look for.

Very few cameras offer true day night performance mainly companies claim but rarely deliver.

For night operation you need IR cameras or very good lighting I suggest the latter.

You want to stick with a brand for day night cameras such as Bosch, Ascendent, Pelco and honeywell

A good outdoor Camera will have

High resolution (520TVL or higher)
Good signal to noise ratio (S/N 49DB or 50DB)
A true Sony CCD (not Chinese knockoff)
Rugged enclosure to handle vandals and environments
At least IP 66 and a suitable temperature rating for you region
IR LED's to see in pitch dark: active IR rating not projected IR as projected IR has no coloration with how far the camera can see.
2 or 3 different sized LED;s 1 size LED one type of illumination means you either wont get distance or wide angle and you want both.

I would go with the VIS-56IR-2910
http://dealer.ascendentgroup.com//dvr-irâ¦

this camera will give you 110 feet of clear vision in complete darkness and great images by day its the on I recommend for budget customer who need outdoor IR camera.

Cameras that have high resolution, and great signal to noise ratio can reducing file size on DVR's up to 50% and offer better images.

Low budget Economical
ASC-520B21IR-36
Economical Infrared Bullet Camera
520TVL
see 25 feet outdoors
Fixed 3.6mm lens
35~-25C IP 66
MSRP $110.00

http://dealer.ascendentgroup.com//ascentâ¦

Cheap option would never suggest a camera lower then this one
(still much higher quality then Costco, Lorex, Swann, Qsee, and other no name products imported from china)

ASC-380B24IR-36
Infrared Bullet Camera
380TVL
see 25 feet outdoors
Fixed 3.6mm lens
35~-25C IP 66
MSRP $75.00

here is a write up I did on CCTV a while ago hope it helps

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, itâs 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: Ascendentâs 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.

About security cameras?

Anonymous

Okay, my uncle is quite paranoid, so he had asked me to ask a question

1. We have security cameras in our factory. We have tapes to record things. Is it possible to have backup recorders in the other parts of the building

2. If there was a commotion outside, is it required of a police/officer to run out of the camera room (thus leaving the room open for anyone)? Or is it required that the officer should stay in his room?

Answer
well, answering your first question, yes, it is possible to have back-up recorders in other parts of the building.

I think not all security cameras are real or functioning. Some security team uses fake cams to make the burglars avoid the fake ones and make them visible to the real ones.

Regarding your 2nd question, the police officer should not get out of the camera room to respond if there was a commotion outside, thus, alarming the guard posted nearest to the place of the commotion and the patroling guards to respond to it. In that way, he/ she can still manage to secure all areas covered by the security cameras even he/she is responding to the commotion by alarming his/her fellow guards on site if there's any additional threat.

Hope i answered your question.

Acorn 5210 VS Infrared Wildlife Camera DVR with Motion Sensor - 8.0MP?

FizzierTha

Hi

Which camera would be best for my garden to record videos and take pictures of foxes etc, as we have foxes in our garden most the time, but I want to see what else I might be missing at night.

The two camera's I have found so far are:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Acorn-Wildlife-Trail-Infrared-Camera/dp/B00873DB5S/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

Or

http://www.flyonthewall.uk.com/infrared-wildlife-camera-dvr-with-motion-sensor-8-0mp.html

Its hard for me to tell which one is better, I know the last one says it can only accept an SD card of 2GB max which does not sound a lot to me.

Can anyone recommend which one I should buy or is there anything better for around Â£150?

Would it be easier to purchase a CCTV camera instead? I have no idea about what I should do, so hope someone can offer me there advice and explain what's best.

Thanks.

Answer
Those camera

Here is another option it is a Mini DVR with a built in Camera:
http://www.apexcctv.com/p-1048-mini-dvr-with-built-in-camera.aspx

Now the benefits of going with a CCTV system is that you can view the feed remotely from your iPhone/Android or the internet. The other benefit is that you can get more cameras to monitor more areas and a way bigger hard drive to record more video. An actually CCTV system will give you more control over the surveillance than just the average wildlife camera.

Great home system:

School Security Systems?

scott c

So I am planning on pulling a senior prank, I will not lie to you. But I am absolutely not going to do something bad. I want to go into the Principal's office and literally just take all the books, computers, folders, papers, and everything and just set up her room on the stage in the auditorium. I am telling you this in the hope that you believe me and will trust me with some information.

1st: Do most high schools have motion detectors?
2nd: Do they have any other kind of visual equipment other than regular video?
3rd: Once inside the doors, are there any alarms that need to be worried about?
4th: What is the best way to stop a door from locking? Just a normal door (aka duct tape etc)

Thanks very much!

Answer
Plenty of schools have security systems, and those systems generally include door sensors, motions sensors, glass break detectors, and even cameras - and the cameras are not always visible. Some cameras are triggered by motion - that either starts the recording, or causes someone in a remote location to start viewing what is happening. These systems cost money, which is why the answer for your school depends on the how advanced the school is, how concerned about security, etc. Some times the door sensors are recessed, so you cannot even see them.There are many possibilities here.

In other words, it's almost impossible to say what you may be facing. Few schools that I am aware of go without any system, but when it comes to protecting interior spaces, such as the principal's office, it is very difficult to tell. Sorry, but you may want to rethink this one...

Good pan/tilt/zoom web-enabled security camera (possibly for iPhone)?

Cody s

I'm looking for a good pan/tilt/zoom security cam that has the ability to be seen on the web when connected to wifi. My hopes are that it will be able to be seen from one of my many security camera controlling apps on my iPhone. I have a mac or pc and would like to find a camera to give as a gift for my dad. If anyone has any suggestions please send me an answers and I will garentee a best answer. Thanks for the help

Answer
Not all CCTV equipment is created equal, in fact there are many options that offer varying performance much like the automobile industry. In the world of CCTV you can find the equivalent of a $2,000 golf cart and a $350,000 Ferrari and everything in between. Both have 4 wheels but that's where the similarities end, itâs under the hood that counts.

Just like any other consumer electronic in the end you get what you pay for. Most retailers and sellers make about a 40-80% profit margin, this is after costs like shipping and overhead. That means when you buy a product that costs $100.00 the manufacturer usually has only spent $30 to build it which simply means itâs not a good product and will probably have a working life of about 2 months. There is a reason these products are 1/10 of the price of good and reliable DVR brand names. The type of seller these products attract are online sellers (ebay) and will make profits margins as low as 2% which means they canât afford to offer good service or allow for RMAs (returns). Cheap products are like disposable razors they are NOT designed to last for a long time and you will end up replacing them every 2 months.

Now some products can be made cheaply like ipod cases, screen protectors, and other simple products with no moving parts or electronics. DVRs need to be good quality as they run 24/7 (20X more than the average electronic device) and process anywhere from 30-480 frames per second which in a year is over 15 billion images, and a good DVR should last 3-5 years.

A true DVR and camera require 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 and are one of the few products that canât be made both well and cheaply. Cheap and inexpensive products like Q-see, X10, Swan, Lorex, and other low grade DVRâs and cameras sold by Tiger Direct, Newegg, radio shack Sams Club, are not used by any security professional and should only be used by hobbyists.

To be honest Swan sells complete Garbage and is not used by anyone who has worked with CCTV or security products. I know other manufactures who used the same product as them and they felt they wee such poor quality they offered money back and replaced them at there cost. They are poor quality especially for IR cameras, due to low quality material, low S/N ratio, and c grade CCD image chips.

If you are only going to spend 70$ on cameras then you should buy 15 dummy cameras they will be just as effective and cheaper hen swan cameras.

Also as far as night vision or IR cameras go most do not give good images in the dark. Many companies claim good night vision but there are only a handful of brands who give night vision over 30 feet out doors. normally if a cameras is rated 150 feet of IR it will give you ok images at 30 feet at night and good images at about 20 if rated for 60 feet you might get 15 indoors and will be useless outdoors.

Some good CCTV brands that I recommend are Bosch, Pelco, Honeywell and Ascendent.

www.honeywell.com
www.pelco.com/
http://www.bosch.com

Economical DVR's
Two good economical DVRs I would recommend are Ascendent's AVP-4120 DVR or Pelco's DX-400. They will allow you to view all your cameras instantly from anywhere in the world using either IE, or a client software. The AVP-4120 uses the latest H.264 codec to improve streaming and recording time, and will allow PCs and Apple computers to remotely view cameras. These are the DVRs I would recommend that are good quality and affordable from companies who stand behind there products.

Again if you are going to buy Swan products save money and get dummy cameras they are just as affective and you will be less disappointed.

I happen to know Ascendent is offering a special on a 4CH DVR and 4 cameras 2 of them are IR. http://dealer.ascendentgroup.com//cctvpaâ¦

Best Single Security Camera?

Sturtz

I have a new car in my carport. I only want 1 camera. Is it possible to just have 1 camera that will save recordings for like at least a day? I prefer wireless but I am open to wired cameras. It needs to be nice quality and visible. The carport has a light on at night but I want one that doesn't need light, incase they break the light on purpose. I don't want to spend $500 for 8 cameras right now. I have a Mac computer that it can connect to. The hard drive has a lot of space (like 400gbs right now) and its fine if it uses the computers hdd

Answer
Okay, I can think of 2 options. Both of them are wireless, and one's from Cisco, the other from D-link.

They both directly connect to your router, and you can view them on your devices. The max resolution for both is 640 x 480.

Cisco: http://homestore.cisco.com/en-us/cameras/linksys-WVC80N_stcVVproductId84737621VVviewprod.htm

D-link: http://mydlink.dlink.ca/NCCA_DCS930L

They appear to be only "day" cameras though.

"SECURITY
Mac OS X was hacked in 2006 less than 30 minutes, and within 2 minutes in a contest in 2008, and within 10 seconds in 2009. In 2008, Linux and Vista were not hacked until another day when restrictions were lowered. Vista was next, and then Linux. In 2009 Windows 7 fell shortly after the Mac but Linux was unscathed.
Macs are standardized with Cameras, if your Mac gets hacked, the hacker can turn on your camera with more ease.
Please Note: All OS's have vulnerabilities.

VIRUSES
Mac OS X has viruses (and significantly on the rise), a friend of mine has a virused Mac. As more users use Macs, more viruses will come out for it. Especially when users think "they are safe".

QUALITY/PROBLEMS
Contrary to belief, Macs are not better quality. Apple also has been changing suppliers to try to "lower the price" and thus lowering quality. Even with the lower prices, Macs still cost more, they spend a higher percent of budget trying to make it look pretty, and marketing.

Sample of problems: Overheating Macbooks, OS X- not responding to keyboard, some units with 16bit screens, etc. Apple statistics are misleading since Mac users with problem machines are more likely to go out and buy a new computer than PC users. Apple is lowering prices which means you can expect lower quality than in the past. Apple had switched the manufacturers producing parts. OS X also has problems slowing down.

Repairs are more expensive than PCs since the IMac, Mac Mini are compact units, and Apple charges a premium for their services. Some repairs can be done by another repair service but the compact design of the computer causes problems.
With an IMac, if the problem is with the monitor, the whole computer would have to be brought in.
IMac and Mac mini lack expansion.

ADVANTAGES WINDOWS :
Aprox 90% of the market is Windows and most PCs have windows already pre-installed.
1) Some websites require Internet Explorer, to run IE on Mac you really get ies4osx which is the Windows version of IE running really buggy and illegal if you don't have a legitimate copy of Windows.
2) Supports more devices (printers and other things you hook into the computer).
3) More business software/games
4) Want the dock on OS X (Mac)? google/yahoo rocketdock, objectdoc.
5) Used by businesses."
