N96 or iPhone 3G ? what should i choose?

stephen

Answer
Definitely the N96. The iphone is known for its great touchscreen and its revolutionary software, it's a great media player, but it has a weak 2 megapixel camera, besides people are complaining about its reception issues and a security flaw were discovered recently.
While the N96 doesn't have a touchscreen, it's a great cellphone with a 5 megapixel camera, great features suitable almost for all requirements that you may need from 1 device. Check out the site below to know more about the 2 phones or find others that suit your needs.
Hope I helped.

Is there a battery operated security camera that notifies U by email via phone that a door has been opened?

John D

Hi I am trying to find a security camera that notifies me by email or cellphone that doesn't charge you a monthly service, that has battery backup or battery operated!! I want it like this because these systems are not susceptible to people shutting off the breakers in your house or cutting your wire!! anybody know any security company that sells such a particular product?

Answer
Well sir I dont see that device anywhere.

What would make more sense is buy a UPS, (Uninterruptible Power Supply, aka battery backup..usually runs about $60 for 1.5-2 hours runtime. Is used by data centers in case of a power outage to keep electronics powered up.) buy a motion activated wireless security cam that records/sends notices when activity is present and attach the receiver to the UPS so when power kicks out, its still active. Ditto for the wireless camera if its in another location.

Keep the receiver close to your intenet modem if it doesnt have a bettery backup already isntalled into it. If the modem cuts off but the receiver is still fucntioning, it will probably just record but not transmit anymore data via the internet. If the modem doesnt have a backup, also attach it to the UPS. Unless they blow the breaker with explosives, you should be fine with a constant internet connection.

But you can also opt for a 3G wireless internet service thats attached to the UPS which will be transmitting off of battery power constantly, hwoever this too can be suceptible as a tech savy thief would jsut need to buy a radio jammer for $200 and knock out all cellphone signals on a wide spectrum within a good sized radius.

Can you recommend a great home security camera system?

Bgirl9488

I would like to be able to hook it up to my computer system through my wireless network. Anything affordable out there?

Answer
"Affordable" means different things to different people.

All the IP or Network cameras will do what you want - remember, wireless is not totally accurate. The camera still needs a wire for power.

Do you need color? Night vision? How far does the night vision need to be?

Because the cams are on your LAN, they get assigned an IP address and you get to them through a browser on your computer. There is no "system" - it just depends if you want the computer to record the camera activities. IP cameras are typically more expensive than the analog cameras.

Another method is to get the wireless 2.4 GHz analog cameras and feed the video into a multi-channel DVR like

Since the DVR would get assigned an IP address, then you access the DVR - not the individual cameras. Some of the DVRs require you to buy a hard drive, too - 250 gig or 500 gig HDDs are pretty cheap...

- If you mean hook up to a PC monitor it says it has a vga port that supports up to 1280 * 1024 resolution. The DVR is already a "Network DVR" means that you could connect it on an existing LAN in your home or office and with a proper configuration you can access the device on a desktop or laptop anywhere inside your own local area network. You'll only need the internet if you want your device to be "port forwarded" on your router meaning access your device outside your home &Office LAN through internet on another location (e.g. on a mall internet cafe).

or can i just hook up the dvr and cameras to the computer screen and thats it?
- On the near middle of the page you've posted has the graphical layout on how you could connect or setup your cctv system. hint: the red line indicates how the devices can be interconnected.

If i need a router are there any type of cameras that i can just hook up to a screen with the dvr and thats it?
- There are analog cctv cameras that you could connect its cable directly on a A/V RCA connector on the tv. When the cctv is powered up(usually 12v) it will display its video feed directly to the tv and the tv will display it. This setting will not record anything thus rather just display live feed from the cam.
-The router is only optional if you want to connect your dvr on your existing LAN without it your cctv system will just work fine.
