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

Q. 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?

Q. 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.

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.

how does a wirelass sequity camera work.?

gustim

and could it send the signal through a hedge?
thanx

Answer
A wireless security camera sends it's video signal via a TRANSMITTER, to a RECEIVER which is connected to whatever you use to record or monitor the camera's view. They are used in applications where it is DIFFICULT or IMPRACTICAL to run a video cable. (Remember that when using a wireless system, it may be possible for your neighbors to pick up your camera's signal too.)

Many "wireless" security cameras require connection to a power supply and only the video output is wirelss, and others may be COMPLETELY "wirelss," using a battery to supply power. The battery operated types are often used for short term or temporary applications.

Depending on particular needs you can have a camera with the transmitter BUILT-IN, or it could be a separate transmitter and receiver set called a VIDEO LINK. (Some systems will wirelessly send AUDIO as well as the VIDEO signal, and some more expensive types will even operate in total darkness using infrared illuminators.)(A WIDE RANGE of equipment is available)

Although transmitting through a hedge may WEAKEN the transmitted signal, most good quality wireless camera systems, are robust enough, to still produce a good signal. Frequently some EXPERIMENTATION with the placement of the camera and receiver will be required for best signal strength, provided you are not trying to transmit too great a distance. For transmission "through a hedge" you will get better results with the lower frequencies, as they will better penetrate the bushes.

I have provided some links for you to look at various kinds of wireless security camera equipment.

Any tips for installing a security camera indoors but so window glare won't obscure the image?

best security camera placement image

Q.

Answer
The placement is important, but so too is the lighting behind the lens, directed at any subject.

Most loss of features is caused by back light against the subject, creating the subject to be sillouette/blacked out.

If your Q involves shooting film through a window, the window would have to be coated non reflectively, or the cam lens would have to be at the glass. If the intent is shooting in daylight you may still have the issue of backlight

It's a trade secret and I'm obligated to the (IUES)"International Union of Expert Shoplifters" to never divulge that information...

But seriously, first you need to check the inventory records to determine what types of items are most commonly being stolen, then verify what kind of security devices like (RF-tags/ink dyes) are being used to prevent & track theft of those items, learn what you can about the stores security camera placement and the security schedule's...

Basically successful shoplifters are the ones who study the stores security... Successful Deer Hunters are successful because they think like the Deer... You just need to start thinking like a thief...

what are my rights with our neighbours filming our garden with a video camera watching us ?

Rebecca

While jumping on our garden trampoline today, I noticed a red light coming from next doors bird box, and realised it must have been a video camera, filming me and my eight year old son. What are my rights over privacy?

Answer
Not much you can do about it, but you better make sure you know what you saw before you go and accuse people of anything.

The placement of the camera (if that is what you saw) would probably be legal, just like a security camera. The fact that it points towards your house or backyard doesn't matter. Unless you have a 9 foot privacy fence, and the camera is placed solely to record you over that fence.

Okay what I need to be able to do is record my neighbor when she is having her out bursts shouting and yelling at me and throwing stuff at my cars aparently the way I look sets her off. That is a whole different story though I need the audio and the video to work preferably through my computer or some reasonably priced system we don't have a vcr and I want it to record over longer periods of time and to be able to make replay these things to the police when she lies about what she did. The police have gotten somewhat wise to her since they actually asked her what she meant by things the last time and she told the police that the dog was loose if he was on a leash! and that the curb was the street and that was where she was going to put the garbage she also told them that if she couldn't make me move my car from the public road that she would park on the street blocking the drive way so we couldn't get out once i have documentation of her threatining me I will file a restraining order

how to make cordless home phones work better?

best security camera placement image

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.....

But The Mere Thought Of Trying To Cross A Rifle Range
Or A Tank Ordinance Range
Or A Guarded Armory
Is A REALLY STRONG DETERRENT


If Your Following This Project
And The Strategic Placements Of The Facilities
You Realize That We Have
40 - 50 Sections Of Fences / Barricades To Build
Approximately 50 Miles Each
Again STRATEGICALLY Constructed
In POPULATED Areas
And Aggressively Patrolled


The Fences / Barricades Will Be 50 Miles Maximum
From One Outpost Or Facility To Another
Less Than One Hour Drive

Heavily Patrolled Border Roads Along The Fenceline
(Again, Part Of A Recruits Training Duties)
Will Ensure The Borders In Populated Areas Are Also Secure
K-9 Patrols In The Patrol Roads Between Fence Layers

Fence Should Be SIMPLE But Effective
Something That Will Take
More Than 20 - 30 Minutes To Breach
(Due To Trainers And Recruits
AGGRESSIVELY Patrolling The Border)

3 Layers
50 Feet Between (Patrol Roads)
Concrete Barriers

4 Ft Thick At The Base
10 Feet Below The Grade

2 Ft Thick At The Top
20 Feet Above The Grade

Over THAT A 20 Foot High Chain Link Fence
Woven With Concertina Wire
Topped With Razor Wire Barrels

The Fence Will Be 40 Feet Above The Grade
20 Feet Concrete With 20 Feet Chain Link Over
If They Get Over Or Through ONE
They'll Hafta Get Over Or Through ALL 3
Without Being Spotted

Short Answer :
MILITARIZE The Border

Any Questions ??

At The U.S./Mexico Border = 14 Days of Iraq War

Below is a sample of homeland security items
in the FY2007 Budget,
their estimated costs,
and the time it takes the Pentagon
to burn through the same amount in Iraq.

* 1,500 new Border Patrol agents:
$459 million ($306,000 per agent)
Iraq spending equivalent: 1.9 days

* Container Security Initiative (CSI)
to pre-screen U.S.-bound cargo
at more than 40 foreign ports:
$139 million
Iraq spending equivalent: 13.9 hours.

* An additional 6,700 Detention Bed Spaces
to replace âcatch and releaseâ
with a âcatch and returnâ policy:
$410 million.
Iraq spending equivalent: 1.7 days

* An enhanced Worksite Enforcement program
to âsend a strong deterrence message to employers who knowingly hire illegal workersâ¦â:
$41.7 million
Iraq spending equivalent: 4.2 hours

* Border technology
to enhance electronic surveillance:
$100 million
Iraq spending equivalent: 10 hours

* 18 additional Fugitive Operations teams
(raising the total to 70)
dedicated to catching
the estimated 450,000 individuals
who have absconded
following their deportation orders:
$30 million
Iraq spending equivalent: 10 hours

* Completion
of the San Diego Border Infrastructure System,
including multiple fences and patrol roads:
$30 million
Iraq spending equivalent: 3 hours

And now for the grand finale.
Although this last item is NOT the least costly,
it may yield one of the biggest benefits.

After the first 10 miles of border fence was completed,
arrests of illegal immigrants
trying to cross the San Diego border sector plummeted
from about 25,000 per year to 3,000 per year.
But of course the San Diego fence
pushed the illegal influx eastward,
into the (less hospitable) Arizona desert.

A serious commitment to border security
would require fencing off the entire southern borderâ
all 1,891 miles of it.
(For comparison, we have 40,000 miles of Interstate highways.)

At $1.7 million per mile
(the cost of the first 10 mile stretch in San Diego),
the entire U.S.-Mexican border
(all 1,891 miles of it)
could be sealed off for $3.3 billion dollars.

Iraq spending equivalent: 13.8 days.

Cost/benefit analysis, anyone?

whats an easy way to buck(steal a couple things)?

Bmx Skater

lmao i know i shouldn't be asking online. its not that i need to know, i have a report on how people have stolen easily. i just have to write about stealing maybe headphones (not big ones) or fish reels or crap like that. what the easiest way to go in and just buck it. is it to take it out of the wrapping stuff or what about the scanner things at the door? does that do anything?

Answer
Obviously I don't endorse stealing, nor do I do it myself, but regarding theft in an "academic" sense, this is roughly how it's done (but don't take this as advice, especially in a legal sense)...

Know what you want b4 hand and make sure you can fit it under clothing without anyone seeing you do it. On your shoplifting trip, give off an air of power, importance, and being in a hurry. Don't make furtive movements. If appropriate, ask the store clerks for something (maybe an item the store is not likely to have) and be friendly and professional, so they think you're a valuable customer instead of a crafty thief.

For men, if you want max security, hide items in your briefs next to your scrotum! Pants pockets are plenty secure too though, and may be easier to put things into discretely. It's safer to steal if you also buy legitimate goods at the same time.

Be very aware of camera placement (mirrors, darkened glass, etc prob conceals cameras). Don't steal in front of cameras, unless you really just don't give a f*** and you're prepared to deal with security aggressively.

If you're accused of stealing, deny it and continue walking at a very brisk yet casual pace. Don't hesitate or slow down. Only run if you see real cops or security guards who are bigger than you. Don't mistake rent-a-cops for real cops and don't take s### from them. If you have no possibility of escape, cry if you're a girl or apologize sincerely if you're a guy.

Above all, don't steal from small businesses because that's just evil. Walmart, on the other hand probably deserves it.

Where do I get a wireless security camera with audio that can hook to my computer with a video card?

Okay what I need to be able to do is record my neighbor when she is having her out bursts shouting and yelling at me and throwing stuff at my cars aparently the way I look sets her off. That is a whole different story though I need the audio and the video to work preferably through my computer or some reasonably priced system we don't have a vcr and I want it to record over longer periods of time and to be able to make replay these things to the police when she lies about what she did. The police have gotten somewhat wise to her since they actually asked her what she meant by things the last time and she told the police that the dog was loose if he was on a leash! and that the curb was the street and that was where she was going to put the garbage she also told them that if she couldn't make me move my car from the public road that she would park on the street blocking the drive way so we couldn't get out once i have documentation of her threatining me I will file a restraining order

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.....
