Tivo can i use it with security cameras CCTV?

anewhorizo

I have a old series 2 tivo. i wanted to know if i could somehow plug my camera into it with the ability to record. As well as since it has the ability to plug into my network can i stream that feed online

Answer
>could somehow plug my camera into it with the ability to record

Yes. You can plug any camera with composite outputs into the Tivo and set the Tivo to manually record. The Tivo must have a Tivo service contract to make recordings. So unless the Tivo has lifetime service you still have to pay a monthly or yearly subscription. Also the Tivo would have to occasionally contact the Tivo server by phone line or Internet to verify the subscription.

>since it has the ability to plug into my network can i stream that feed online

No. There is software you can put on a computer that will let you transfer files off the Tivo but it's not set up for streaming.

What type of security camera should I get for this situation?

best security cameras cctv image

Zach

My tires recently got slashed, and I'm skeptical of it happening again after fixing them, so I'd like to get myself a cheap but decent / working security camera. However, I'm not sure if I should get CCTV, Analog, or what.

I live in an apartment complex, far in the back area. At night, the lighting is poor, and it's pretty dark outside. I can see my car from my window, so if I got a standing camera, I could conceal it and set it in the window sill. Other than that, I suppose anything is fair game.

My only stipulations are something in the range of $60-, and that I can wirelessly connect it to my computer since I spend a lot of time on said computer, and so would be able to watch it mostly at all times. It also needs to be able to record, so I can turn in evidence if this happens again.

Please and thank you for all help :)

Answer

What kind of security camera system should I buy to watch my house from a laptop?

el aji

I've heard-of a security camera system that I could watch my home from a laptop while at work. What company should I refer to get this setup, and will any laptop work?

Answer
Hello

Not all DVRs are created equal, in fact there are many options that offer varying performance much like the automobile industry. In the world of DVRs you can find the equivalent of a $10,000 Kia and a $350,000 Ferrari and everything in between. Both have 4 wheels and windshield but that 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.

I suggest you buy a PC based DVR has they have more processing power and normally have a much smaller file size and offer more features then Standalone DVR's. I know many people buy a cheap standalone DVR, only to upgrade to a PC based in 6 months especially when they are using it to manage a store remotely. Also PC based allows you to record up to 64 cameras where a standalone will have a limit of 16.

Many people have the misconception that a PC-Based DVR is simply an off-the-shelf PC with video capture (encoder) cards, display (decoder) cards and some generic OEM software. A true DVR requires years of research and development to facilitate the seamless integration of both the hardware and software. DVRs are highly complex systems that must run 24/7, processing millions of images per day. This makes consumer-level hardware inadequate for DVRs which is why Ascendent uses custom-built PCs with performance-level hardware.

My personal favorite DVR is Ascendent X4 series: Ascendentâs Tri-Fusion Hybrid Platform allows for the creation of a true hybrid surveillance system by utilizing the advantages of Analog, Megapixel, and IP technologies for unparalleled customization and expandability. I am working on government projects and use Ascendent cameras and DVR because the offer superior performance and cost less then comparable brands like bosh, Honeywell and pelco.

The X4 also uses the latest H.264/SVC codec offer video substantially better quality,. While its file size sizes is 30% smaller than MPEG-4, 60% smaller than MPEG-2, and exponentially smaller than MJPEG.

File size is crucial to streaming because most DVRâs on the market record at real time performance (30FPS per channel) so on a 4CH is trying to send 120, 8CH 240, and a 16CH 480 images per second which requires way too much bandwidth even for the most extreme internet connections.

The smaller the files size the more images 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 recording storage time, how much you can back up at once, how fast it renders and searches video. The file size of a DVR impacts the performance of the DVR in just about every aspect from speed to longevity and is often the most important spec of any DVR.

If you are buying a DVR and streaming is a high priority I suggest you ask for a demo and connect to the DVR to make sure it is able to stream fast enough for your needs. Most DVRs say they have remote viewing but it is often too slow and laggy to be of any use especially if it is a standalone. Some good DVR brands that I recommend are Bosch, Pelco, Honeywell and Ascendent. These brands are what security professionals use, Q-see, Swan and Lorex are only used in residential applications because they are sold by Tiger Direct, Spytown, Newegg, Sams Club, Costco and other retail outlets but are not used by any security professionals also their tech support rarely speaks English as their first language...

These brand manufacturers also have a complete line of CCTV cameras for any application from residential to military.

What Field of view do I need on my CCTV security camera?

I have to order a few CCTV security Cameras and Iâm not sure what kind of field of view I need. Iâm looking for just a wide shot.

Answer
If this is a residential installation most install Iâve done are just fine with the common 3.6mm lens. If this is a commercial installation I recommend getting some cameras that have a varifocal lens and order a lens with a 5 to 50 mm range. It might be over kill by a little bit but with the 5-50mm lens being twice as big it allows around 4 times more light into your camera giving you a better look on the monitor and recorder.

This is where I get them from.

Security camera for a car to prevent theft and vandalism - any recommendations?

best security cameras cctv image

KnicksRbac

Are there any security systems that are made specifically for cars that you can install in a vehicle? I want something that that records continuously and nonstop that I can use to see what goes on during the night to make sure nobody messes with my car. I want something that I can just put in my car and push record and just go in my house and let the system take care of the rest. I want to be able to view it then on my computer or the system. Any suggestions? Do they make anything like this?

My dad installed security cameras on our property a couple months ago and just yesterday the camera caught a young man snooping in the alley and looking into my dads truck behind the garage at 530 in the morning. Just an interesting side note. My car is always parked across the street were there is no camera pointed in that direction.

Answer
Plenty of Car DVRs are available on Amazon. Though they themselves may be items of interest to a vandal.

Perhaps you should consider a combination of a Car DVR and a CCTV camera mounted on roof of your house with a powerful optical zoom capturing the scene in detail.

A $14 camera that can be connected to a DVR. The camera is small so it can be placed more discreetly and the DVR hidden in the boot. http://www.amazon.com/Waterproof-Vehicle-Backup-High-definition-Viewing/dp/B005CTKYB4%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAIZ6BQD7DSLCTLVJA%26tag%3Drajsblo01-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3DB005CTKYB4
