I bought a wireless 4ch DVR Security Camera system?

Kompolaga

I bought a wireless 4ch USB DVR Security Camera system from eBay. But after all I got a camera system I didn't want.

Because it does not record all four cameras at the same time and can't hear the sound from the mic of the cameras.

SO I am wondering If I can use another receiver/dvr software on the wireless cameras to record all four cameras?!

(btw I have Windows 7-64bit)

Please take a look at the cameras from eBay.

HELP! :(

Answer
If you know the manufacture of the camera look for their homepage on the net and then give them a call. They should be able to help you.

Mac or Windows (Snow Leopard or 7)?

R.B.

Ok I know that this question has been asked a Billion times but I need help and this one is a bit different. I have been with windows since Windows 95 and I can personally vouch that it is an innovative contraption. Performance wise my personally favorite would have to be 2000 (no seriously, I had no anti-virus software and I never once got a virus) but XP is good to as it's my second favorite. I have used Vista, its not as bad as everyone says it is but it's not as good as the money that I spent to upgrade from XP to it and then throw it out the window (metaphorically of course)(Glad I bough Home Premium instead of Ultimate). So I recently discovered from my friend that Windows is releasing 7 and that my friend had downloaded the Beta from there website. It was pretty good (fastest startup on a PC I have ever seen in a while, my laptop starts up in 48 seconds), and it loaded up fast. But I also heard Mac is coming out with Snow Leopard which is improving on performance(Me likey). And the regular Leopard is good as well on performance and eye-candy.

So which one do you think will be better for ease of use with similar specs (i.e. faster start-up, least program crashes, performance of regular program, etc).

Answer
I would get a PC and dual boot with Linux, then you get the best of two worlds (Security on Linux and free software and Windows for its support advantages).

PC=Variety of specs, options, quality, prices, vendors, support
Mac=One vendor, limited options, still more expensive. Look below for more information..

Today, Macs use a subset of PC hardware. Why spend extra to get the same CPU chips, graphics cards and OS X isn't as secure as you think..

Don't believe the lies that Macs are better than PCs at graphics/animation.. Dreamworks Animation http://www.dreamworksanimation.com/ under studio click on Technology of Animation, an independent film maker I know uses PCs, a graphic artist I used to know uses PCs also.

A number of PCs can also run OS X (Mac OS) http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=os+x+on+pc&btnG=Google+Search&aq=0&oq=os+x+on+ as well just that Apple makes it illegal in order to get Market share.. The reason why Mac can run native Windows is because it is using a subset of PC hardware,

If you decide to buy a Mac for running Windows, you will still have to get the same virus/spyware protection, and run into the same issues as a regular PC.

Now is a Mac worth buying for OS X?

I say: NO... for the following reasons...

ADVANTAGES WINDOWS :
Aprox 90% of the market is Windows and most PCs have windows already pre-installed.
1) Some websites require Internet Explorer, to run IE on Mac you really get ies4osx which is the Windows version of IE running really buggy and illegal if you don't have a legitimate copy of Windows.
2) Supports devices (printers and other things you hook into the computer).
3) More business software/games
4) Want the dock on OS X (Mac)? google/yahoo rocketdock, objectdoc.
5) Used by businesses.

ADVANTAGES LINUX :
1) FREE (most versions are)
2) Install software by eitjher 1) Synaptic Package Manager, 2) Add/Remove 3) Opening a .deb or .rpm file (depending on distribution)
2) Like the Mac OS X effects? go yahoo/google COMPIZ FUSION which can do any cool effect a Mac can do and many ore....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3gkX9HDfEE (there is no flickering when you use it like on the video, not sure why the person has the flicker)
3) Mac OS X Doc? google/yahoo Avant Window Navigator.Cairo Dock, http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3rf5q_cairo-dock-mac-os-x-leopard-dock-on_tech
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0hzi22g2DE
4) It is FASTERr/MORE SECURE to surf on the internet
5) Some Windows programs work with Wnehq/Crossover (also avail on Mac, but why pay $$$)

SECURITY
Mac OS X was hacked in 2006 less than 30 minutes, and within 2 minutes in a contest in 2008, and within 10 seconds in 2009. In 2008, Linux and Vista were not hacked until another day when restrictions were lowered. Vista was next, and then Linux. In 2009 Windows 7 fell shortly after the Mac but Linux was unscathed.
Macs are standardized with Cameras, if your Mac gets hacked, the hacker can turn on your camera with more ease.
Please Note: All OS's have vulnerabilities.

VIRUSES
Mac OS X has viruses (and significantly on the rise), a friend of mine has a virused Mac. As more users use Macs, more viruses will come out for it. Especially when users think "they are safe".

QUALITY/PROBLEMS
Contrary to belief, Macs are not better quality. Apple also has been changing suppliers to try to "lower the price" and thus lowering quality. Even with the lower prices, Macs still cost more, they spend a higher percent of budget trying to make it look pretty, and marketing.

Sample of problems: Overheating Macbooks, OS X- not responding to keyboard, some units with 16bit screens, etc. Apple statistics are misleading since Mac users with problem machines are more likely to go out and buy a new computer than PC users. Apple is lowering prices which means you can expect lower quality than in the past. Apple had switched the manufacturers producing parts. OS X also has problems slowing down.

Repairs are more expensive than PCs since the IMac, Mac Mini are compact units, and Apple charges a premium for their services. Some repairs can be done by another repair service but the compact design of the computer causes problems.
With an IMac, if the problem is with the monitor, the whole computer would have to be brought in.
IMac and Mac mini lack expansion.

PRICE
A similar equipped PC is much cheaper to purchase than Mac. Lets use Dell (but you can compare with another PC Brand if you like)

**(DESKTOP)

PLEASE NOTE: I compare Apple Mac's vs Dells best deal. If you really want an all-in one the Dell all-in-one has more ram, wireless keyboard and mouse and equivalent to $400 for free making the Imac still more expensive when you matching specs. Personally I don't think the All-in-Ones are a good choice, and consider them overpriced, lack expandability and repairs both more expensive and require the entire computer.

PS: Apple knows that they need to make Macintosh look different than PC so all Macs except the Mac Pro will not have a tower option. Apple's low end lacks expandability but it makes the Mac "look different", if Mac had a tower for low-end, more people would realize the similarities between the two.

Dell: (At The Moment) Specs Below costs $809
CPU: 2.4 GHZ Dell Inspiron QUAD (4 Processor) CORE

MEMORY: 3GB Ram
HARD DRIVE: 500 GB hard Drive

GRAPHICS: (upgrade to ) ATI Radeon HD 2400 PRO 128MB

The Mac Mini since it has no monitor, keyboard, mouse, very skimpy on options and setup and is not the best deal... The IMac is better price than the Mac Mini.

Security Camera help?

i have an old camera, which has amazing quality and zoom. it used to record with mini dv tapes. but it scince then started ruining them. is there some way i can hook that up to be a security camer. there has been 4 break ins on my street.

like a way to record to a re wwritable dvd or some sort of hard drive?
or even to a computer

Answer
Yes, you can do all that, but you may have to spend a little money on the project.

If your dv camcorder has firewire, this is pretty simple. You connect the camera to your computer via firewire, and away you go. You could even use Windows Movie Maker as the software, although I don't remember if it will let you save the video on the fly in any other format than DV. DV is great for resolution, but eats up hard drive space very quickly. You would also need firewire in the computer, maybe $30 to add it.

If no firewire on the camera, the next two options are going to be very similar... S-Video, and composite video. Again, it depends on what the camera can do. S-Video is the better of the two, but not by much. It does make for better security camera footage though. For either of these, you would need a video capture card in your computer. Nothing fancy, even one of those USB dongle converters would work.

Your camera needs to be fixed, mounted securely. You can't cover the whole block, it just won't work. No matter how good your zoom is, do NOT use digital zoom. Optical only. Don't try to record the garage door 7 houses down the street, you won't get anything but the number of bad guys that way. Think about where you put the camera, and what you intend to do with the footage. If you have to use composite level video recording, it will be much more difficult to ID people from the footage.

Window 7 Account security feature,,,,,,?

Q. I wanna ask if there is an account log in security feature where you're camera is on in the log in menu and find a familiar face and when the camera finds one it will automatically log in to your account?

Answer
You will have to use a 3rd party software to do so. There are several of them out there on the net. If you doa search for "using your face as a password" you find several.

Windows 7 Security Rights Problem?

Q. Ok I am the only users on My laptop. When opening "computer" then selecting propteries I was messing around with the computer rights. IDK what I did but now I can not view my hardrive space and such. I even logged in under administrator and can not view hardrive size.

So under the only 2 accounts I have. Me and admin I can not view or change it back. I was going to take a picture of the issues but It wont even let me save images anymore lol.

Answer
You were messing around with something that is very difficult to repair, the Access Control Lists.

Use a digital camera to take pictures.

Here is a Microsoft TechNet article, you can explore their website for more information:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc778295(WS.10).aspx

What I would do - remove the hard drive from the laptop, connect it to a USB-to-hard drive adapter, and then plug it into another Windows 7 computer and use that computer to access the drive and change the permissions on the drive. It's not easy to correct as there are several permission levels.

You can also get a Live CD of a Linux OS like Ubuntu and use that to copy off your important files to an external hard drive. After that is complete, re-install the factory software from the DVDs of the Windows OS. And start over.

Why is my window switching monitors? Windows 7 OS?

Elise

I have two monitors running off one tower. The larger (main) screen is where I do most of my work, and the second screen is where I have the security cameras window open. Quite often, although not always, when I use the "2" key (alone, not with any other keys such as Ctrl or Alt) it will move whatever window I am in from the main screen to the second. Why is this happening and how can I stop it? Thank you for your help!

Answer
As your camera software is running in the background, it might a hot key activated, Try to find any hot key from your cameras software.
In worst case this might be a bug in software. If this is the case, sorry, you can't do anything to resolve it.

Surveillance & security Cameras?

emuleiii

I want to install some Surveillance & security Cameras for my house. outside window. i am thinking maybe 3 sides of my house . front side, drive way side and the back side of my house. good enough to cover whoever can get into my driveway and back yard....
Which brand and model is the best ? i want something relatively easy to install and use . better something can just record directly to my computer.

Answer
For home use, recorded to computer, webcams work as well as anything else. Make sure the resolution is 640x480, plug 'em in, and you're set.

As for brands and all... there are only a few manufacturers, but the cams are sold under many brand names.

Many big-box home improvement stores, stores like Costco and Sam's Club, and even large department stores, sell security systems now. Cost can run from a hundred bucks for a simple system, to many thousands of dollars.

Look for the following:
1. Video is recorded in a standard format, like AVI. Real AVI, not some proprietary container format that requires the DVR software to work with. IF you need the video for something, you want everyone to be able to see it. Proprietary software is a pain in the posterior, and gets in the way more than anything else.
2. Resolution of at least 640x480. If you have the storage, even higher. Don't let anyone tell that 160x120 is "good enough", I can guarantee that it is most definitely NOT enough. Even 320x240, which is the default for many systems, is just barely good enough some of the time, and useless more of the time.
3. You don't need to store the video for years, but you need to have at least 7 days before the system rolls over and records on top of old video.
4. YOU need to know how to operate the equipment. Don't expect somebody else to come in and extract an event for you.

I don't install video systems, I'm the guy that has to retrieve the video off the system, and then try and make it into something useful. If you follow the 4 things I mention, your video will be of much more use in case you ever need it.

best security camera software for windows 7 image

Pioneer

i am planning to change my OS from windows 7 to MAC or Linux but i am quite afraid that if i do it, the drivers in my printer, camera, motherboard, bluetooth, joystick, ect. won't work anymore.
i just wanna confirm, if my doubts are correct that the drivers that i have right now will no longer work if ever i install MAC or Linux.
i also wanna ask your advice with what versions of MAC/Linux should i use? and why?

Answer
linux and mac also have built-in drivers
but some of your drivers have to reinstall them (with Linux and mac versions)

i will recommend you Linux

Linux Advantages (short)
Open Source
its free
less virus

Linux Advantages (full description)

#1 Low cost: You donât need to spend time and money to obtain licenses since Linux and much of its software come with the GNU General Public License. You can start to work immediately without worrying that your software may stop working anytime because the free trial version expires. Additionally, there are large repositories from which you can freely download high quality software for almost any task you can think of.

#2 Stability: Linux doesnât need to be rebooted periodically to maintain performance levels. It doesnât freeze up or slow down over time due to memory leaks and such. Continuous up-times of hundreds of days (up to a year or more) are not uncommon.

#3 Performance: Linux provides persistent high performance on workstations and on networks. It can handle unusually large numbers of users simultaneously, and can make old computers sufficiently responsive to be useful again.

# 4 Network friendliness: Linux was developed by a group of programmers over the Internet and has therefore strong support for network functionality; client and server systems can be easily set up on any computer running Linux. It can perform tasks such as network backups faster and more reliably than alternative systems.

#5 Flexibility: Linux can be used for high performance server applications, desktop applications, and embedded systems. You can save disk space by only installing the components needed for a particular use. You can restrict the use of specific computers by installing for example only selected office applications instead of the whole suite.

#6 Compatibility: It runs all common Unix software packages and can process all common file formats.

#7 Choice: The large number of Linux distributions gives you a choice. Each distribution is developed and supported by a different organization. You can pick the one you like best; the core functionalities are the same; most software runs on most distributions.

#8 Full use of hard disk: Linux continues work well even when the hard disk is almost full.

#9 Multitasking: Linux is designed to do many things at the same time; e.g., a large printing job in the background wonât slow down your other work.

#10 Security: Linux is one of the most secure operating systems. âWallsâ and flexible file access permission systems prevent access by unwanted visitors or viruses. Linux users have to option to select and safely download software, free of charge, from online repositories containing thousands of high quality packages. No purchase transactions requiring credit card numbers or other sensitive personal information are necessary.

#11 Open Source: If you develop software that requires knowledge or modification of the operating system code, Linuxâs source code is at your fingertips. Most Linux applications are Open Source as well.

how do i stop the import program from popping up in windows 7 every time i insert an SD card?

heavenly d

every time i insert my sd card it brings up this import program to import all of my photos onto the pc. how do i stop this from coming up in windows 7?
no not autoplay. sorry i did not specify my pc. its an HP, and HP photosmart always pops up whenever i insert my card. how can i stop it?

Answer
Are you talking about the "AutoPlay"? You need to be more specific. What is the name of the program? Did you install any software that came with your camera? Is that the program that is popping up?

--------------------------

I don't have an HP computer, so, I couldn't really tell you exactly what to do. But, here are a few things you can try:

(1) In the Start Menu, type "Autoplay", and click AutoPlay, which will be one of the search results. Near the bottom of the window that opened, click "Reset all defaults", and click "Save". I have a strong feeling that this will work. Here is what the settings look like on my computer: DVD movie - "Play DVD movie using Windows Media Player"; Software and games, Pictures, Video files, Audio files, and Mixed content - "Ask me every time"; the rest are set to "Choose a default". Yours may have "HP Photosmart" as the option. Insert your SD card, and see if that changes anything.

(2) If that doesn't work, open HP Photosmart and play around with the setting.

(3) Do this whether you have already fixed your problem or not! In the Start Menu, type "msconfig", click on it. Once it opens up, go to "Start up" tab. This allows you to disable programs that start up when Windows starts. Programs that start up when you turn on your computer tends to slow down the start up time. Unchecking them, and clicking OK will prevent them from starting up when Windows starts. Obviously, if you go to "All Programs", and click on HP Photosmart (when you want to) after Windows starts, it'll open up. That's what you really want. You can also uncheck things like, Adobe, Microsoft Office 2010, QuickTIme, Java, etc. If you don't know what they are, Google/Bing it, and see if they are safe to disable. Obviously, you need to leave Windows 7 Operating System, your video card driver, etc. alone, because you want those to start up.

(4) I am hoping option 1 will work out for you, but, if it doesn't, then you can just uninstall the damn program, if you don't use it. If the program came with your printer, then, you can aways just get the drivers without these additional software on the HP website. http://www8.hp.com/ca/en/support.html

(5) If none of the above works, and you really need the software, then, call HP and ask them.

If you are uninstalling software that normally comes with HP, because you don't use those, then, it's a good idea to use "CCleaner", and run a registry and disk clean once you are done. This will get rid of old registry entries and clear the temporary files from you system and keep it running fast.
You can download it from here: http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner Here is a nice YouTube video showing you how to use this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wqegYPb_Ms

Also, if you are looking for a good, free anti-virus program, I recommend "Microsoft Security Essentials": http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/

i have a hp-460 with windows 7 pro installed. i want to connect two cctv security cameras to record video./audio... how should i connect the co-ax cables?.. do i need extra equipment?

Answer
In order to connect analog cameras via co-ax cable to your windows based PC, you will need to install a DVR capture card on the PC. Here is a video tutorial on how to install a GeoVision based capture card in a PC.

http://www.apexcctv.com/video-8-install-geovision-dvr-in-pc.aspx

Once you have installed the capture card, you will need to install the Drivers for the capture card. GeoVision has its drivers on the software installation CD and is the first option when you run the software.

After you install the drivers, you will need to install the DVR software for the capture card and set the record configuration to your needs. Once this is done, you will be able to record the audio and video from your cameras to your PC.

V-CamShow free webcam slide show - V-CamShow free webcam slide show - V-CamShow is a free webcam slide show and screen saver. It enables you to watch your favourite webcams as a slide show or a screen saver. There is no limit to the number of webcams you can view. New webcams are added regularly which can be imported into your list. You can also add your own webcam to the list and increase your viewers. V-CamShow employs an intelligent algorithm to auto-detect and auto-adjust the refresh rate - this will work for most, though not all, cams. This prevents you from downloading the same image over and over again. It can also detect slow or inactive cams and, depending on your choice, can either reduce their refresh rate or disable them completely, all done automatically. You can also set operation times for each cam individually so you can have different cams enabled at different times of the day - very useful if you are watching cams from different parts of the world. Platforms: Windows 95 / 98 / Me / NT / 2000 / XP.
