You don't need to buy some high-tech things to make your iPhone a security camera.
Just download skype and make an email ID for skype
Add your contact to the new skype email
Video chat with the new email and hang the iPhone where you want.
Done.
This is not you wanted to hear but it still works

N96 or iPhone 3G ? what should i choose?

stephen

Answer
Definitely the N96. The iphone is known for its great touchscreen and its revolutionary software, it's a great media player, but it has a weak 2 megapixel camera, besides people are complaining about its reception issues and a security flaw were discovered recently.
While the N96 doesn't have a touchscreen, it's a great cellphone with a 5 megapixel camera, great features suitable almost for all requirements that you may need from 1 device. Check out the site below to know more about the 2 phones or find others that suit your needs.
Hope I helped.

Is there a battery operated security camera that notifies U by email via phone that a door has been opened?

John D

Hi I am trying to find a security camera that notifies me by email or cellphone that doesn't charge you a monthly service, that has battery backup or battery operated!! I want it like this because these systems are not susceptible to people shutting off the breakers in your house or cutting your wire!! anybody know any security company that sells such a particular product?

Answer
Well sir I dont see that device anywhere.

What would make more sense is buy a UPS, (Uninterruptible Power Supply, aka battery backup..usually runs about $60 for 1.5-2 hours runtime. Is used by data centers in case of a power outage to keep electronics powered up.) buy a motion activated wireless security cam that records/sends notices when activity is present and attach the receiver to the UPS so when power kicks out, its still active. Ditto for the wireless camera if its in another location.

Keep the receiver close to your intenet modem if it doesnt have a bettery backup already isntalled into it. If the modem cuts off but the receiver is still fucntioning, it will probably just record but not transmit anymore data via the internet. If the modem doesnt have a backup, also attach it to the UPS. Unless they blow the breaker with explosives, you should be fine with a constant internet connection.

But you can also opt for a 3G wireless internet service thats attached to the UPS which will be transmitting off of battery power constantly, hwoever this too can be suceptible as a tech savy thief would jsut need to buy a radio jammer for $200 and knock out all cellphone signals on a wide spectrum within a good sized radius.

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.

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.

What would be the cheapest way to get security surveillance in a vacant home?

Tommy

I want to put cameras on the front and back doors of my vacant home and have the system alert me on my phone of anything wrong. The home does have power but no available internet. If I need internet would a cheap basic mobile 3g/4g network be good enough?

Answer
No. You need a good broadband speed for this. You need a DVR (Digital Video Recorder) to carry out the functions you want, it will normally need to be 4 channel. They do not make 2 way DVRs with the required support. Then 2 standard cctv cameras. The machine needs to be set to connect to a router, and for you to externally view it you would need to either subscribe to a static IP address or to dynamic dns.You need to forward the viewer and control ports through the router to the internal IP address of the DVR. The DVR carries activity monitoring to mark times when there is any movement within the viewed area, and should also has an alarm input system. Ideally if you want stability and no false alarms you might want to set up detection on the doors, motion detect can give rise to many false alarms from animal, bird and at close range even insect or spider movement, and from changes of light at night. So if in a darker area car headlights from a nearby street or reflected for a window will cause a motion action. The DVR will have an email facility by default, but check this first, cheaper and poor quality models often do NOT. More reliable is an intruder alarm with an audio dialer.

Is there a battery operated security camera that notifies U by email via phone that a door has been opened?

best 3g security camera image

Hi I am trying to find a security camera that notifies me by email or cellphone that doesn't charge you a monthly service, that has battery backup or battery operated!! I want it like this because these systems are not susceptible to people shutting off the breakers in your house or cutting your wire!! anybody know any security company that sells such a particular product?

Answer
Well sir I dont see that device anywhere.

What would make more sense is buy a UPS, (Uninterruptible Power Supply, aka battery backup..usually runs about $60 for 1.5-2 hours runtime. Is used by data centers in case of a power outage to keep electronics powered up.) buy a motion activated wireless security cam that records/sends notices when activity is present and attach the receiver to the UPS so when power kicks out, its still active. Ditto for the wireless camera if its in another location.

Keep the receiver close to your intenet modem if it doesnt have a bettery backup already isntalled into it. If the modem cuts off but the receiver is still fucntioning, it will probably just record but not transmit anymore data via the internet. If the modem doesnt have a backup, also attach it to the UPS. Unless they blow the breaker with explosives, you should be fine with a constant internet connection.

But you can also opt for a 3G wireless internet service thats attached to the UPS which will be transmitting off of battery power constantly, hwoever this too can be suceptible as a tech savy thief would jsut need to buy a radio jammer for $200 and knock out all cellphone signals on a wide spectrum within a good sized radius.
