DIY security camera--help?

evian.H2O

I would like to build a cheap DIY security camera. there has been an increase in crime (vehicle break-ins, etc.) in the past few weeks in my neighborhood. I want build a security camera system to keep watch over my truck at night. I would like it to have the following features:
---motion detection or manual start (motion detection would be the ideal case but manual start seems to be alot simpler and cheaper)
---long record time (bare minimum of 5 hours)
---good quality in low light setting
---store on to a usb flashdrive or sd card (mainly just want to store and/or watch the videos if necessary)
---relatively small if possible

the cheaper and simpler the better. I dont necessarily have a budget but would like to keep it halfway cheap. any tips, comments, videos, links would be greatly appreciated! thanks to all!
Hey guys thanks a lot for your input! it is greatly appreciated! i think i am going to go the webcam route. but the location i will be putting the camera will be about 100 or so yards from my computer. i looked into wireless transmitter/recievers but the good sets were pretty expensive. i also looked into wireless webcams but idk if they will reach that distance? maybe with a patch antenna of some sort? and is there any possible way to interface the webcam to store its videos to a usb flash drive or sd card? thanks again guys i really appreciate it!

Answer
A lot of people, including myself, use HD webcams. Good ones can be found for less than a hundred bucks, and decent ones near 50 dollars. You can purchase a USB extension cable for about 30 dollars and run the camera from your computer to the location you want it. There's a program called Dorgem that will allow you to save images from the camera to your hard drive. You can set it up for motion detection, or to capture images at a certain duration. The pictures are in a folder on your hard drive, so you can transfer them if needed. You can also use any movie making software to run the pictures in succession like a time-lapse movie. Or you can also use My Webcam Broadcaster. It's a free online webcam streaming service that you can access your webcam from anywhere there's an internet connection. There's even an app for that:)

Hello

Here is a DVR that will work perfectly for you.

http://www.ascendentgroup.com/x4s.htm


Most DVR's and cameras don't have the ability to view from your i-phone, and you cant just download generic software all DVR's and cameras uses different encryption , software, and compression so you cant use another companies software to view another manufactures DVR.

You want a DVR that has an app specifically designed to work with it like the one I am suggesting below.

What you want is a DVR a DVR converts analog cameras and as well as storing images on site allows you to distribute video over LAN and WAN networks. (internet and network) this way you have both on site storage and recording at your house.

A good Analog DVR will do what you are looking for and not only display them but record them as well they will also allow you to view them over the internet from a Iphone or laptop.

X4S Remote Accessibility
View all your cameras instantly and remotely, and configure the DVR through internet using eitherbusiness in real time from anywhere in the world. MAC or PC platforms (smart phones too). This allows you to manage your

Many people have a misconception that IP has Superior scalability then Analog but with the advancements with DVR's this simply isn't true, you cn do up to 16,000 cameras each camera could even be from a different DVR and a different site.

And when you are using the internet to connect multiple sites together analog transmits over the internet faster with less latency using less bandwidth allowing you not only to view and monitor a situation real time but also effective control PTZ cameras.

What is the Advantage of IP?
Many of the so called advantages of IP simply don't hold water in the real world, IP is mainly Hype and marketing and outside of a few niche applications such as 1 or 2 camera installs, where MP cameras are needed or large scale wireless projects which represent about 2% of the total CCTV market, IP has very few advantages compared to analog based on performance, cost and reliability. (yet all companies touting IP will often use MP cameras to demonstrate the advantages of IP)

IP video is more about marketing then it is about performance as larger companies like Bosch pelco Honeywell axis can change for both hardware and software and once you use there cameras you have to keep using there cameras unlike analog.

Also IP sounds great, plug and play, Better image quality, use existing infrastructure, who wouldnât want that unfortunately this is often not the case.

IP cameras are based on CMOS
Analog cameras are based on CCD (usually)

A CMOS sensor is constructed using a array of pixels, but unlike CCDâs CMOS do not have a capacitor to store the charge for each pixel.The rows of pixels are activated sequentially rather then individually

In short unless you have perfect lighting a good CCD camera will outperform an equivalent CMOS camera.

File Size:
The smaller the files size the more images that 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 recoding storage time, how much you can back up at once, how fast it renders and searches video.

IP cameras have up to a 5X larger file size then analog cameras. (at same resolution) I have seen MP cameras that on 2MP resolution are over 300X (%3000) larger then our X3 DVR on a CIF image. This is an extreme case but generally speaking IP cameras have a much larger file size.

Most routers and switches are not designed to handle IP cameras they have enough bandwidth but they are not able to process the amounts of commands. (9 IP cameras 30FP is 230 instructions per second) standard routers have enough bandwidth (up to 1GB) but cant handle the amount of tasks (instructions) so frames get dropped latency is introduced and the effectiveness of other devices such as POS, printers and dats storage can be affected and compromised.


Donât get me wrong there are some brutal analog cameras and DVR out there but If you see a good D1 resolution image such as Ascendents Hardware compressed you will not be so quick to join the IP bandwagon.

IP is a young and emerging technology and I have no doubt that in the future it will outperform analog cameras but its not a mature technology yet. Once we start to get standard IP platforms, get rid of license feesâ and existing networks have larger bandwidths then IP video will be a good solution, but until then analog is the way to go.

Make sure you get good cameras as well, Ascendent has the best IR outdoor cameras on the market and are about %50 less then Bosch while offering triple the distance.

How to remotely connect to a DVR security camera?

Christophe

Hello. I want to be able to access my security cameras at work from home. I got an app on my phone called "i-smart" to do this. I was able to access the cameras through this app while I was at work on the wi-fi at work, but once I switch to my phone's 3G or used the wi-fi at my house it told me connection failed and it would no longer connect. How can I fix this as to where I am able to connect remotely to the security cameras regardless of what internet connection I am using? Thanks!

Answer
The outputs on your standalone DVR conjointly use a configurable NO or Tar Heel State circuit which might be used for causative relays that may be accustomed trigger motors, door locks, activate lights, arm alarm systems, sound sirens and additional. just about any form of lightweight, buzzer, alarm, magnet or motor are often controlled directly or indirectly through NO or Tar Heel State alarm outputs from the standalone DVR. These outputs will then be controlled pass from home employing a laptop, permitting you extra management of your home through your security camera system.
