Does the security cameras at my job have audio?

Q. It seems like my boss knows everything that goes on outside of his office and his door is closed. Is it possible that he can hear the conversations through the security cameras in the ceiling?

Answer
It's possible. But having a security camera running 24/7 with video and audio takes mass amounts of storage since the data isn't compressed.

It's more likely someone tells your boss what is going down.

what are some good but cheap wireless security cameras/audio i can hook up to my laptop?

Jake

possibly ones i can hide so burglars wont see them and shoot them out like the other ones

Answer
There are tons of good cameras, but then you went and added CHEAP into the mix. LOL
There are some really small ones like the "finger cam" http://www.pimall.com/nais/fingercam.html you can easily hide the thing. Or some of the "spy" cams like these http://www.dynaspy.com/mini-wireless-spy-camera-24ghz-color-spycam-p-28.html?osCsid=mln2hkand4hnchgifm4in9kr96

I found some at a "Hamfest" which were about the size of a penney and needed even a smaller opening to allow them to see out. If you really need audio, that is a different issue entirely. The "inteli spy" comes close to what you asked http://www.intelspy.com/24ghzmiwiauc.html small, cheap, with microphones. You will have to convert the output to use it with your laptop but that isn't hard to do.

I am planning to install (Security Camera Wireless) outdoor.
1- Is there something call (UHV).
2- What kind of product should I get that doesn't be affect with other frequencies (mobile, radio)?

Answer
For wireless stuff, it would normally be "UHF". Typically this is for good audio equipment. UHF video is still used for television stations and you would need to be licensed even if only low power.

There are only two consumer wireless video methods:
1) shared band in the 2.4 GHz environment.
2) wifi (wireless compute local area network)

Both can get interference from other sources. If you want no chance of wireless interference, then you need to use a wired camera. Also, remember that "wireless" generally means only the video (and audio if the camera has a mic) signal is wireless - you still need a wire for power unless you set up some sort of battery and solar recharge equipment.

You want cameras that are rated for outdoor use... Do they need to have "night vision"?

Are you just monitoring the video?

or are you turning a computer into a multichannel DVR?

If the power goes out, are you expecting this camera system to continue working? What are your battery back-up plans?

There's more, but this is a start...

What kind of security camera should I get to view behavior from a different location?

I need a camera to put in my workshop. This location has electricity, but does not have internet. My home is about 500 feet away from my workshop. I need to be able to view activity from my home at any time. I want a camera that I can simply plug in to work or that will work wirelessly. Any ideas of cameras I could use for security purposes?
