Answer
Hello

Check out this link: http://www.ascendentgroup.com/~ascendent/HTML%20E-mail/X4S/x4s.html

You should not pay any monthly fee for your CCTV system just store your images on site.

95% of cameras and DVR will not allow you to view them with the I phone or other smart phones.
And even then you need permission and password.


One of the few manufactures that allow you to do this is Ascendent Technology Group.
http://www.ascendentgroup.com/

The X4S Series is an intelligent, cost-effective CCTV management solution, integrating the latest technology and the most advanced features while maintaining a simple, intuitive and user friendly interface. The X4S Series is a complete 24/7 turn key solution that meets the demanding security needs of todayâs business and home owners.

Key Features:
⢠4CH Real time DVR
⢠Cost effective turn key CCTV solution
⢠True Plug and play operation
⢠Ultra High Resolution D1 Images
⢠H.264 reduces file size to 40% of Mpeg4 and 200% of MPEG2.
⢠USB 2.0 Smart backup automatically includes software on backup medium
⢠HDMI and VGA dispaly
⢠5 year warranty on HDD
⢠Remote connectivity; view and configure DVR from anywhere using Internet Explorer, Firefox or Safari, and I phone (free)



(I phone app provided when you purchase a DVR)

Smart Backup Backup has never been easier or faster once you have found the video by either time or search. Simply input the time and cameras you wish and backup via USB 2.0 drive. When you backup video the playback software is automatically installed on the flash drive eliminating the need for codecs or special programs saving both time and money.

Remote Connectivity The X4S Series has industry-leading remote connectivity allowing you to connect and view all your cameras instantly from anywhere in the world using either PC or MAC platforms. The X4S also allows for remote setup giving installers and integrators the ability to quickly and cost-effectively support their customers with sufficient privileges to do so.

HDMI Display: The X4S Series has an embedded High resolution (Super extended Graphics Array) allowing you to view your cameras on high definition displays such as LCD, DLP and Plasma (up to1600X1200 resolution).This eliminates the stretching, pix-elation and distortion that normally occurs, leaving you with vivid crystal-clear images.

Plug and Play Operation While the features and technology are highly advanced they are designed around a user-friendly graphical interface for simple and quick operation. The AVP Series professional DVR system is now as easy to use as a VCR with search, backup, display and remote connections that are easily set up in less than fifteen minutes from start to finish. The X4S Series automatically rewrites the oldest image with the newest, providing effective maintenance-free operation.

Longevity and Reliability The X4S Series is comprised of high quality components precision engineered for unparalleled performance and real ability for flawless 24/7 operation. We use only the finest Seagate HDDs designed for continuous operation and backed by a 5-year warranty directly from Seagate.

Aesthetic Low-Profile Design All these features integrated into a rugged and stylish aluminum chassis allow it to be used in the most upscale installations making the AV Series the choice for professional security integrators worldwide.


The X4S comes in a 4, 8, and 16ch and offers real time performance for both display and record.

scan the IP with nmap

or check the active ports on your iPhone before and during when you use the app.
( a port that is off before - and active during is probably your port)

Can u netwk home devices (security cams,lighting,energy monitoring)without monthly fee?

amy

Building a new home and want to utilize the great features of home networking like remote monitoring of security cameras, change lighting, etc via Iphone app but want to avoid the monthly fees for monitoring services, etc. Any ideas?

Answer
I have been looking into the same things I believe what you want to do is available now. For security cameras, there are DVR systems and individual network cameras that allow the video to be streamed online. All you need is internet access and you can watch your cameras online. For home automation, the place that seems to have a reasonable amount of information is Smarthome.

Need help regarding Iphone.?

JayTee

Hi. Im a little security concious. If someone calls me on my iPhone and I have my facetime app on can that person see stuff through my camera without my knowledge? or is it impossible for me not to know? do I need to press a special button to accept the facetime call? Sorry if this sounds a bit stupid but I had a massive breach of my privacy some years ago and it had a dreadful effect on me. Thank

Answer
Yes, it is possible that a hacker could access your iPhone camera without you knowing it. Of course you need to screen your calls. Don't use that option with just anyone.

A good security camera system that i can view with my ipad wifi?

best security camera with iphone app image

William

I need to hook up an outdoor security camera system but one that is also wireless. I would need to view it on my ipad as I am going away on vacation so something that doesnt need recharging would be the best

Answer
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 does one get their Trendnet IP100W-N Camera to stream to a Blackberry?

A K

Wanted to be able to view the security camera from my blackberry. Any ideas about how to stream the video from my security camera? As it stands, I can't access it from the Blackberry browser or Opera. The feed uses a java applet which apparently is unsupported by any of the blackberry browsers (though java is supposed to work with Blackberry's).

Thanks in advance.

Answer
I've used these cameras for some time now -- not the N models, but the earlier G and B models.

Anyway, if that Blackberry won't accept the java app that you have to use, then you're going to be stuck just looking at still images and not video.

On my ipod Touch, there is an app called "Live Cams" with provides an interface to the ipod touch to MJPEG video sources like the Trendnet cameras offer (http://livecams-iphone.com/). Perhaps there is a similar application for the Blackberry available.

Also, this web site (http://www.ehow.com/how_2076586_use-java-apps-blackberry.html) suggests that using the WAP web browser on your Blackberry is better than using the Blackberry's internet browser for Java app. Apparently the Java on Blackberry devices is a modified version, so it may still not work with the Java app provided by the IP100W-N.

Is there any CHEAP service out there to SMS you when 2 magnets separate?

best security camera with iphone app image

Jas

I want to know if one specific door is ever opened, but have no need for a full security system. I simply need to know when, if ever, a specific door is opened without an alarm and without a camera. I want to use a system with 2 magnets that's related to an iPhone app. Anything like that out there? Again, 2 simple magnets > when they lose contact, they send a signal to a server that texts me.

Answer
I am not familiar with any service that provides this option as a service.

Here is what you can do. Get a simple alarm system.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ademco-LYNX-Plus-L3000-Wireless-Alarm-Panel-Kit-20-2-Version-/221016373361?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item33759a3871

Also get one door contact http://www.ebay.com/itm/Brand-New-Honeywell-5816-5816WMWH-Wireless-Door-Window-Transmitter-w-Magnet-/280965035728?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item416ad236d0

When you program the panel, assign your phone number in the download # section. It wont send a text but it will call you and send you a coded tone from your home phone number. You wont understand the tone but you will know that the door has been opened.

You may also want to disable the siren so opening the door is not detected locally.

If I offered you a free facebook app through which you would be able to remotely control your home computer?

PascalsWag

and use your webcam as a security camera

would you use it? would you tell your friends to use it?

Answer
I'd be more likely to use it if it were an iPhone app. Most people do not trust Facebook apps.
