have you ever think of best home security systems?

Answer
I have thought about home security and here are is the conversation I have to myself about it all:

A home alarm system is for when people break into your house and even though it will notify you and the police that someone has broken in the bad guys still have plenty of time to make off with your stuff. In the end you can get your home insurance to replace most of the stuff and any home repairs but it will be difficult for the police to catch the criminals.

Why not check out a home surviellance system instead? With actual cameras around your property you can literally catch any one in the act if you have the cameras positioned around the exterior of the house. Video is a lot more likely to catch a criminal than just hoping they get caught selling your computer. Even with the cameras in plain site they act as a deterant more so than the little sign on the window saying ADT protects my house. The other thing to think of is the monthly fee for a security system whereas a surveillance system is a one-time fee.

I linked to a home package that I am considering that contains everything you need to get up and running out of the box. It has 4 outdoor rated cameras, a 1TB DVR for recording up to a month of video, the ability to check the feed from my smartphone and all the cables and power supplies needed hook everything up. At a one-time fee of $399 my money is on the surveillance system.

what is the best home security surveillance system for 250$ or under?

Cory S

im looking for a decent 4 channel security system with dvr and at least 2 cameras for around 250 its doesn't have to be the greatest, just get the job done... so any brands or models of the best bang for my buck would be appreciated.

Answer
I found a 4 channel package that comes with 2 cameras a DVR and everything else you need to get up and running for only $375.00. The awesome thing I think about this system is that it is ready to go out of the box so all you have to do is plug it all up and you have a security system.

I know this system is a little more than you wanted to spend but to get a "decent" system you are going to have to spend a little more money. Most standalone DVR systems will cost around $200 then you need compatible cameras which can vary in price from as low as $30 and up plus all the necessary cables.

I hope this helps!

Does anyone know where to get an infrared light bulb that looks like a regular light bulb that emits no light?

best home security camera package image

For home security, with the use of my camera, you can see the night vision red LEDs on the camera.

Answer
You do not need a "light bulb" but rather a better IR LED illuminator.

The area you are "painting" will decide on what kind of IR you will need. Painting is the term that is used to describe the application of large swaths of ultra-covert infrared lighting to any indoor or outdoor surveillance area.

The majority of today's IR sensitive surveillance cameras are sensitive up to 820 nanometers. If your application is as simple as your home driveway and your distance is not further then about 15 feet, there are literally dozens of great IR illuminators to choose from that are small, covert, and totally invisible to the human eye. Your best option would be to go with a ruggedized integrated camera with IR illuminator. The package can be installed in any indoor/outdoor application, has vandal proof construction, certified NEMA-4 rating (splashproof, windproof, dustproof, low temp/high temp), and is very affordable.

what kind of signal does a BNC camera output?

David H

A security camera outputs a high resolution image through a BNC connector. What kind of signal is it? What can read that signal? Using an adapter to make the BNC into an RCA jack won't work will it?

Answer
I would suggest going direct to a DVR or monitor.

but you can buy adapters but like all adapters you will lose image quality.

If you are looking at CCTV equipment here is an earlier post.

These brand manufacturers also have a complete line of CCTV cameras and DVR for any application from residential to military and stand behind there warranties.

http://www.ascendentgroup.com (Recommend)
http://www.honeywell.com
www.pelco.com/
http://www.bosch.com


Ascendent Technology Group 's has a really good 4 camera package for around $500.00 and will sell direct if they don't have a dealer in your area.

http://ascendentdvr.com/cctvpackages/avpâ¦


Not all CCTV equipment is created equal, in fact there are many options that offer varying performance take cars for example. 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.

95% of all wireless cameras are compete junk and any wireless camera under $400 run on 1.2, 2.4GHZ or 5.8GHZ and wont 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.

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 3% 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 the "frys" productsare Garbage and are not used by anyone who has worked with CCTV or security products. I They are poor quality especially for IR cameras, due to low quality material, low S/N ratio, and low grade CCD image chips.

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.

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)

Good radio company
http://www.tranzeo.com/

now in order to use this wireless network to distribute video you need to buy IP cameras which are similar to IP cameras only they transmit video over networks instead of a cable.

The company I recommend for CCTV products is Ascendent Technology Group they have a large product line and offer better products then Pelco Honeywell and Bosch and are about %20 cheaper and in my opinion have the best IR outdoor camera line up.

For an IP I recommend uses Ascendent`s IP servers that have a hard rive built in which does 3 things. Allows you use any analog camera and convert it into an IP addressable server. Allows you to distribute video over the network and has an HDD in it so that if the network goes don't or your NRV (network video recorder) goes down or gets stolen you have data redundancy. some companies use SD

How do I go about setting up a computer security camera?

best home security camera package image

RB

Could a novice person be able to set up a computer wired/wireless security camera device?

I want to set up several cameras in my house wirelessly connected to my computer that can record and I can watch if I want to "off site" with another computer.

Can I do it myself or should I have someone come and set it up?

If I can do it myself, can you give me any advise on a book or video on how to do it?

Answer
Wireless system packages may be the way to go here...a bit pricey any way you look @ it.
Google for 'home security/video cams' or similar.
After acquisition & deployment, try this application to tie it all together for remote viewing:
V-CamShow
enables you to watch your favorite web cams as a slide show or a screen saver. You can add as many web cam images to the slideshow as you want, automatically disable or reduce the refresh rate for inactive cams and more. The program comes with a large list of international locations and new web cam locations are added regularly which can be imported into your list. You can also add your own webcam to the list.
Freeware; other webcam utilities in the general heading here also.

how do i down load video from a plugged and play home security camera to my desk top PC thank you Nettie?

best home security camera package image

martin.net

my pc is vista wireless i have plugged and play home security camera can someone tell me how to used my pc to down load the video from the security camera to my pc and play it back on my pc i thank you very much for any help that you can give me nettie

Answer
Unless the security camera has some sort of storage medium for the video it records, you won't be able to download it. I'm guessing that the camera came with some sort of software package (if it's a digital camera) that will allow you to monitor what the camera is recording on the PC. This is how most home and medium security camera systems work. You may even have the option of archiving the video you record. GL
