Security Cameras?

Mr J

How accurate are the security cameras in a casino? I am only 20 and i work at a restaurant that's inside the casino. I played two hands of blackjack when i was leaving work. I know that if you work in a casino you are not supposed to gamble and i know you have to be 21. But, i only won a small amount of money and was not there long and no one said anything to me. Do you think they will go back and find the tape to show to my managers? Would they even bother will something like this?

Answer
The cameras are very accurate. I seriously doubt that they will roll them back. It takes a call from a pit or security manager or above to do this. They would have to know exactly what time you were gambling and what table to be able to pin point you. With everything going on in the casino on a weekend night, I doubt you should be worrying. But do not go to your supervisor telling them what you did unless you definitely want want to get fired.

Security Camera Capabilities at Night?

Nubian Kin

Just have a general question. How good are most security cameras at night. What is the typical range the camera is able to produce a good image in a night setting, with no light or very low light. I have been looking on the internet and in magazines to find there capabilities. I know there are all infrared and night vision camera, but im talking about a fixed positioned camera that is not monitored by anyone, so there is no zoom capabilities. Do generally they pick up good night time footage or do they need good lighting.

Answer
It just depends on the quality of the setup. Some places will use a cheap IP cam with no infrared lighting that's barely good enough for America's Funniest Home Videos. Some places uses camera with a bunch of infrared LEDs that can see just fine. FLIR cameras are becoming more common, which see body heat.

Help with security cameras?!?

Where do i buy night vision security cameras, and how do i hook them up live to my computer with a motion detector alarm?

Answer
Cameras; not sure look maybe at newegg.com, or buy.com
for software:
Secure Cam
is a motion detecting web cam surveillance software that can automatically capture a series of images whenever motion is detected in the monitored area. You can adjust the detection sensitivity, automatically archive captured still images and playback the images in sequence with the supplied viewer application. Secure Cam can monitor and display up to 99 cameras and automatically organizes captures based on the device. Other features include support for multiplexing, time stamps, text overlay and more. The program works with webcams, as well as DVR cards.
Freeware.

Try it on a regular webcam, or streaming video cam first to see if it's along the lines of what you want...it's free so not overly fancy or pretty interface...

I'm looking for a security camera that I can use outdoors with night vision because I have been receiving a lot of pranks.

How to make a night vision light?

best security camera night image

I have a security camera, but it does not have night vision. Is there anyway I can make one, or get one under $10, to makw it easier for my security camera at night? (The lights can not be seen by the human eye)

Answer
use ordinary lighting for security at night. it ups the bar for anyone trying to do wrong if clearly visible, so that is as much a deterrent as cameras. ordinary lighting will give more detail and color which are important clues to making an ID. IR is monochrome and blurry and in some cases not admissable as evidence.

the cheap IR illuminators simply use LED's. they provide enough IR to be useful at about 2 meters (6 feet) maximum distance, great for camcorders at parties. totally useless for surveilence. you need the military type IR lamps, about the size of a small refrigerator to cover a parking lot.

not seen by human? get real, all a crook has to do is use a pocket digital camera to find IR illumination sources. doh.

What is the best security camera for night?

best security camera night image

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.

How can I record off of my security Camera?

r5bpitre

I have a security camera. That has night vision on it. Problem is I don't have a dvr. What I do have is my cpu, a digital cable box that has dvr, and the camera and receiver. Is there anyway I can record footage with these items? If not what would be my cheapest route?

Answer
If the cam receiver has a USB plug, it can tether to the computer.
If it's "Plug-n-Play" it should be detected and self power through the USB line.

Then, since video takes huge amounts of hard drive, you want a 'motion detection' software, to capture things that are moving while in the camera's field of view. That reduces the space needed on the drive.
Here's some of the software (it's free):
http://www.snapfiles.com/Freeware/security/fwvideosurveillance.html

Hook all of these things up and test it indoors to see how it works, alignment, and so on.
"Save" from the software selected onto the computer, to a folder you create. Somewhere on the desktop is handy to get to.

How do I prevent my security camera from getting blinded by a red laser?

best security camera night image

Joe

I just purchased a night vision security camera to be used outside and it's weakness is that it gets completely blinded by a red laser. How do I avoid this or modify it so that the laser doesn't affect it?

Answer
Best is to position the camera in such a way that this can be avoided. Red laser blinds the camera not because of the color but because of the intensity in a small area. Even if you use a filter, it won't help much and with the new laser pointers of different colors it can be even more difficult to use a filter.

I need a security camera for outside at night?

best security camera night image

Mac

Every year the kids in my neighborhood decide to steal my christmas decorations or vandalize them.. I need a security camera for at night that can go about 30-40 feet...I want to catch the rats. I do not want to spend a lot of money and I think one camera is good enough.

Answer
Hello

It depends on what market you need it for I will give you the best cameras in each market.


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.

Cheap option would never suggest a camera lower then this one

Infrared Bullet Camera
380TVL

A good outdoor Camera will have
High resolution (520TVL or higher)
Good singnal 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.

A Varifocal lens with a good aperture a 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 no 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 buy an equally good DVR or you will not get the performance out of its like a PC if you buy a $700 processor and a 60$ MB you would be better off to get a $200 MB and a $300 processor a CCTV system needs good optics, imaging equipment and recording device to work properly.


I would go with the VIS-56IR-2910
