I need a outdoor, motion activated, wireless security camera. Please help!?

new cook

I am having stalking issues with an ex and need a security camera to record the goings on outside of my front door and garage. Unfortunately, this guy is slippery and no dvo/epo's have stuck. I need a camera that is small(ish), battery operated, motion activated, and wifi. Please help so that I can show what is really going on.
I should have also added battery powered. x10 didn't have any battery powered cameras.

Answer
There is NO such camera. There are plenty of wireless cameras, the quality is VERY poor on any that are supposedly of wifi type and connect to the computer. Battery life is rubbish, They have NO low light vision at all, regardless of the promises. In any case most computer connect cameras are not good. If this is a serious problem you need to consider a proper CCTV camera, These can range from a pinhole or wide angle lens box camera that would fit into the size of a cigarette packet or smaller. These would work well from a 12v battery (alarm type). some go true black/white at night. You would then need a video capture card in the machine. Better is to use a proper CCTV DVR (digital video recorder).
Then there are outdoor day/night cameras, bigger but much better resolution. IR (infra red) versions give perfect night vision but DO tend to glow red at the IR lights, making them possibly visible. There are a few wireless versions, more expensive and again need a 12v battery, with a receiver inside the building connected to a capture card or DVR. At closer range these are VERY good. Again the IR may make them visible. Then there are a lot of "secret" or "covert" devices, mostly just gimmicks, relying on fiction convincing people they can get James Bond type devices. Only if you want to spend many thousands on ONE camera!!! Take a look at the link below t will give you some good ideas, and NONE of their equipment is bad.
http://www.henrys.co.uk/cctv/covert.htm
Also this link, mounted under an overhang these cameras are very good, but otherwise not really outdoor.
http://www.henrys.co.uk/cctv/bullet.htm
You can actually feed all normal CCTV cameras into a composite video input (the yellow input of a phono to scart lead) so you could use an older VHS video recorder or a TV hard drive recorder.

kirko2715

looking for a good home security system that is wireless but dependable. Maybe a system that will work from a computer harddrive like a dvr system

Answer
There are tons of companies that sell security camera equipment on the web. Two of the larger companies are:

http://www.supercircuits.com

You may need to buy several individual components and put them together to get the system that you describe.

Can you Turn Off the Night Vision on a security Camera?

Jhgjh

I have two wireless security cameras, but both have night vision LED's inside that light up, I wanted to turn those off but still record, so that the camera does not gives its self away despite that the video will be very dark, because its near a street light anyway. Can this be done? There is no switch or buttons on it, so is there a way?


Thanks

Answer
You need to modify the camera, to disable the LEDs, or at least mask them.

If it is truly night vision, then it will emit IR. only, with possibly minimal visible emission. You could get a purple filter to filter that.

How do you use a wireless security camera and receiver with your computer monitor?

Answer
Hello

you don't want to sue wireless for a number of reason listed bellow.

if you want to view your cameras from any computer just get a DVr with good remote connection then you can connect to it from anywhere that has internet.


I recommend going with a PC based DVR but if you don't want to spend the money I suggest Ascendent's AVP-4120 DVR or Pelco's DX-4000 as they will allow you to view all your cameras instantly from anywhere in the world using either IE. The AVP-8240DVDUSB will also allow MAC platforms as well as PC to remotely view cameras and it uses the new H.264 codec but no standalone will offer the video streaming or performance a good PC based DVR will.

http://ascendentdvr.com/dvr-standalone/standalone-dvr-usb-network-h264.html

Not all CCTV equipment is created equal, in fact there are many options that offer varying performance take cars for example. In the world of CCTV you can find the equivalent of a $2,000 golf cart and a $350,000 Ferrari and everything in between. Both have 4 wheels but that's where the similarities end, itâs under the hood that counts.

95% of all wireless cameras are compete junk and any wireless camera under $400 run on 1.2, 2.4GHZ or 5.8GHZ and wont offer encryption. This is bad for 2 reasons one the signal can easy be jammed, with a laptop you can actually hacked video feeds so a criminal can use it to spy and know a good time to target your business or home.

Just like any other consumer electronic in the end you get what you pay for. Most retailers and sellers make about a 40-80% profit margin, this is after costs like shipping and overhead. That means when you buy a product that costs $100.00 the manufacturer usually has only spent $30 to build it which simply means itâs not a good product and will probably have a working life of about 2 months. There is a reason these products are 1/10 of the price of good and reliable DVR brand names. The type of seller these products attract are online sellers (ebay) and will make profits margins as low as 3% which means they canât afford to offer good service or allow for RMAs (returns). Cheap products are like disposable razors they are NOT designed to last for a long time and you will end up replacing them every 2 months.

Now some products can be made cheaply like ipod cases, screen protectors, and other simple products with no moving parts or electronics. DVRs need to be good quality as they run 24/7 (20X more than the average electronic device) and process anywhere from 30-480 frames per second which in a year is over 15 billion images, and a good DVR should last 3-5 years.

A true DVR and camera require 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 and are one of the few products that canât be made both well and cheaply. Cheap and inexpensive products like Q-see, X10, Swan, Lorex, and other low grade DVRâs and cameras sold by Tiger Direct, Newegg, radio shack Sams Club, are not used by any security professional and should only be used by hobbyists.

To be honest the "frys" products are Garbage and are not used by anyone who has worked with CCTV or security products. I They are poor quality especially for IR cameras, due to low quality material, low S/N ratio, and low grade CCD image chips.

Also as far as night vision or IR cameras go most do not give good images in the dark. Many companies claim good night vision but there are only a handful of brands who give night vision over 30 feet out doors. normally if a cameras is rated 150 feet of IR it will give you ok images at 30 feet at night and good images at about 20 if rated for 60 feet you might get 15 indoors and will be useless outdoors.

Now one option for wireless is using commercial IP radios which are basically wireless routers on steroids and can offer distances up to 40km of wireless with military encryption, this is not a cheap solution but neither is digging a trench. using these radios not only give you a security infrastructure but also communications infrastructures as well for internet and other purposes (LAN network)

Good radio company
http://www.tranzeo.com/

now in order to use this wireless network to distribute video you need to buy IP cameras which are similar to IP cameras only they transmit video over networks instead of a cable.

The company I recommend for CCTV products is Ascendent Technology Group they have a large product line and offer better products then Pelco Honeywell and Bosch and are about %20 cheaper and in my opinion have the best IR outdoor camera line up.

In the end you want to buy your DVR from a Brand name DVR manufacture

These brand manufacturers also have a complete line of CCTV cameras and DVR for any application from residential to military and stand behind there warranties.

Answer
Security cameras that use IR light are what you need if you wish to have an area under surveillance without giving away the fact that a camera is viewing the activity. IR is invisible

On the other hand, preventing theft or damage is really better than capturing someone in the act on video.

It is up to you, but I would think that motion detecting bright lights a AND a camera would reduce vandalism

Wireless Security Camera System?

ghostofrea

I am looking into setting up one wireless security camera (preferably with night vision) in the front of my house. I might even put one in the back, but we'll see. I am really confused though. There are so many different types and so many mixed reviews.

Ultimately I will need to purchase a DVR system and a camera. But which one? I'd like it to record continuously and reset every few days. This way if something does happen, I can simply check the DVR.

It looks like Q-See is the best bet, but I don't know. What do you think?

Answer
I have tried a number of security camera options, but I have found none better than at
http://www.rfconcepts.co.uk/
The DVRs will work on various voltages, so the only problem may be changing the plug.
The mini cams are brilliant, especially the ultra low light ones, which can see in near total darkness.
There is nothing wrong with the low priced DVRs!!, but get the highest Gb you can, so you can record for a longer period. I have mine on 24/7, then when it's full, it just overwrites it.
There are also wireless send & receivers.
It's a DIY dream shop.
And no, I don't work there!!! :)

what are the best security camera systems for businesses with warehouses & large property to secure?

best wireless security camera night vision image

herringchi

would like info on the best and affordable wireless security camera systems. Need at least 4-5 cameras. Need wireless, outdoor use, night vision, and zoom features for plate and face identification. a large area needs to be covered (about 3 acres). However, I mainly need to survelence for parking entrance/exit, Cash register, and 2 locations of shipping and receiving. need to know how to relay feed to central computer which in some cases is over 1200 feet away from the camera feed. thanks!

Answer
It sounds like you have fairly specific needs. If you are looking for licence plate recognition, night vision and zoom features it is not going to be cheap and you should probably stay away from wireless solutions - particularly inexpensive ones.
As for connection to a central computer, this is typically done with a DVR (Digital video recorder) Through IP. Although there are some IP specific camera's out there. Be careful on the equipment you choose as there is some pretty crappy offshore equipment out there. What looks good on a monitor locally may not look so good once the image is compressed and sent over the internet or LAN.

When you look at a system it is best to look at it as a whole. There is a term we use in the industry - crap in crap out. You may have the best the best camera but it doesn't matter one biut if your recorder is crap. Same goes for the recorder, if you have a great recorder and really bad spystore camera's you might as well be looking at a black and white TV in the middle of the bush with no cable.

I don't know what area you are in, but there is some basic info on my website at www.keepsafesystems.ca you may want to contact a professional in your area.

ExtremeCCTV just came out with a licence plate night camera. It is quite impressive but by no means a Costco / home depot unit.

WOW bad avice

You can take your advice from people who Google or a security professional who specializes in CCTV.

Peter Brissette: there is nothing new about the products on your website in fact there are many misleading statements. many offer 3G and IE connection.

On your website you claim:
4GB Micro SD Card for video storage (7 to 10 days)

Truth: a high resolution camera with the smallest file size will use over 15GB-30GB a day (with 40% motion) a 4GB card will give you hours not days.

There is nothing new about the products you offer they are lower then the average product out there.
There good for nany cameras but not for a security system.

the products you sell (except for PTZ) only fixed cameras which will almost never work as you cant adjust the view.

there is nothing bad about your products but they are not high end please don't claim them to be.
They should mainly be used for nany cameras not for people who are interested in security (I don't think you even have watermark so images wont hold up in court though cant confirm as your website has very little information and even less specs.)

Hello sorry about that

You don't want to record 24 hours a day you want to record on motion so if there is no moment you don't records this will increase your storage a and decrease the amount of video you need to look for.

Very few cameras offer true day night performance mainly companies claim but rarely deliver.

For night operation you need IR cameras or very good lighting I suggest the latter.

You want to stick with a brand for day night cameras such as Bosch, Ascendent, Pelco and honeywell


A good outdoor Camera will have

High resolution (520TVL or higher)
Good signal to noise ratio (S/N 49DB or 50DB)
A true Sony CCD (not Chinese knockoff)
Rugged enclosure to handle vandals and environments
At least IP 66 and a suitable temperature rating for you region
IR LED's to see in pitch dark: active IR rating not projected IR as projected IR has no coloration with how far the camera can see.
2 or 3 different sized LED;s 1 size LED one type of illumination means you either wont get distance or wide angle and you want both.

I would go with the VIS-56IR-2910
http://dealer.ascendentgroup.com//dvr-irâ¦

this camera will give you 110 feet of clear vision in complete darkness and great images by day its the on I recommend for budget customer who need outdoor IR camera.


Cameras that have high resolution, and great signal to noise ratio can reducing file size on DVR's up to 50% and offer better images.

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.

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.

What is the best security cameras for a home?

best wireless security camera night vision image

I don't want these cheap things with low quality and black and white. I don't mind spending the money on a nice system - What is the best - I want 2-3 outdoor cameras with night vision, and also want the best DVR for the job. I want the best. What are my options? I'd prefer Wireless as well.

Answer
These days, most homeowners don't use a DVR for home video, and DVR's are left to the commercial applications where they really need to have constant recording for cash registers, employee security, etc. Today's smart cameras for the home are wireless and have motion analytics built into them, so that the camera only records (usually a clip, like 15 seconds) when activated by motion. You really don't care if nothing is going on, right? The clips can be sent directly to you. These cameras can also be viewed remotely from any web-enabled device - and what's even better, the video clips can be stored remotely by your service provider, where you can access them.

What I am describing is actually the video service that we include with our cellular and interactive monitoring services: next-gen features, integrated with home security Here is an article on video that is worth the read:

You would be amazed how reasonable these systems are, especially in light of what they can do. This may be a viable solution for her, but regardless, it's good to know what's out there, and the direction the industry is taking.

What is a good (cheap) wireless security camera that can stay on all night? Preferably uses memory card?

My girls.

I don't know much about security cameras.. so I have no idea what to look for online. I bought a First Alert camera but it turns out I need to buy a whole bunch of other accessories for it.. So I'm returning it. I don't know if all wireless cameras use memory cards or not, but I'd like it to record on a memory card. As I do not have a DVR or anything like that. It doesn't have to have a screen for us to see what's going on. Just record on the memory card so I can watch it back on my computer.

Answer

I'm looking for a security camera that I can use outdoors with night vision because I have been receiving a lot of pranks.
Wireless cameras would be great but wired ones are good too!

Where can I buy a wireless security camera system for exterior use?

Billy

I am interested in buying a wireless security camera system but I don't know where I can find one. It's not something I can just find at walmart. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Answer
WOW bad avice

You can take your advice from people who Google or a security professional who specializes in CCTV.

Peter Brissette: there is nothing new about the products on your website in fact there are many misleading statements. many offer 3G and IE connection.

On your website you claim:
4GB Micro SD Card for video storage (7 to 10 days)

Truth: a high resolution camera with the smallest file size will use over 15GB-30GB a day (with 40% motion) a 4GB card will give you hours not days.

There is nothing new about the products you offer they are lower then the average product out there.
There good for nany cameras but not for a security system.

the products you sell (except for PTZ) only fixed cameras which will almost never work as you cant adjust the view.

there is nothing bad about your products but they are not high end please don't claim them to be.
They should mainly be used for nany cameras not for people who are interested in security (I don't think you even have watermark so images wont hold up in court though cant confirm as your website has very little information and even less specs.)

Hello sorry about that

You don't want to record 24 hours a day you want to record on motion so if there is no moment you don't records this will increase your storage a and decrease the amount of video you need to look for.

Very few cameras offer true day night performance mainly companies claim but rarely deliver.

For night operation you need IR cameras or very good lighting I suggest the latter.

You want to stick with a brand for day night cameras such as Bosch, Ascendent, Pelco and honeywell


A good outdoor Camera will have

High resolution (520TVL or higher)
Good signal to noise ratio (S/N 49DB or 50DB)
A true Sony CCD (not Chinese knockoff)
Rugged enclosure to handle vandals and environments
At least IP 66 and a suitable temperature rating for you region
IR LED's to see in pitch dark: active IR rating not projected IR as projected IR has no coloration with how far the camera can see.
2 or 3 different sized LED;s 1 size LED one type of illumination means you either wont get distance or wide angle and you want both.

I would go with the VIS-56IR-2910
http://dealer.ascendentgroup.com//dvr-irâ¦

this camera will give you 110 feet of clear vision in complete darkness and great images by day its the on I recommend for budget customer who need outdoor IR camera.


Cameras that have high resolution, and great signal to noise ratio can reducing file size on DVR's up to 50% and offer better images.

Low budget Economical
ASC-520B21IR-36
Economical Infrared Bullet Camera
520TVL
see 25 feet outdoors
Fixed 3.6mm lens
35~-25C IP 66
MSRP $110.00

http://dealer.ascendentgroup.com//ascentâ¦

Cheap option would never suggest a camera lower then this one
(still much higher quality then Costco, Lorex, Swann, Qsee, and other no name products imported from china)

ASC-380B24IR-36
Infrared Bullet Camera
380TVL
see 25 feet outdoors
Fixed 3.6mm lens
35~-25C IP 66
MSRP $75.00

here is a write up I did on CCTV a while ago hope it helps

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.
