Wireless Security Cameras

Thursday, June 25th, 2009

Wireless cameras are an effective and inexpensive way to monitor the safety of your home or office. Installation is relatively easy to complete as a “do it yourself” project, and shouldn’t take more than a few hours to set up and configure. One in place, your wireless security camera will help you keep track of your children, monitor entrances and back yards.

Most wireless cameras emit a signal that performs at distances of up to 300 feet, possibly more. With such a wide range, the wireless camera can be moved around whatever space you choose without the hassle of having to reconfigure your equipment. Also thanks to the wireless capabilities, these cameras are more resistant to tampering than their hardwired counterparts.

There are, however, a few drawbacks to wireless cameras. Inherent to all wireless products is interference caused by other wireless devices and electrical equipment. Physical obstructions (such as walls) can also cause the wireless signal to relay a weaker signal, resulting in poor performance. It’s also important to remember that cordless phones can interfere with the camera’s wireless signal. One solution is to use a cordless phone that operates at 5ghz or higher rather than the 2.4ghz frequency that more wireless cameras use.

Powering your wireless security camera is simple. If you’re willing to change batteries or rechargeable battery packs for better mobility, then look for cameras with such features. Otherwise, there are models that plug into a wall outlet. For battery-powered cameras, some power-saving features such as motion sensors are available to lessen the battery consumption, allowing for maximum performance even in precarious camera locations.

Dvd video cameras

Saturday, March 24th, 2007

When I first got my mini DV video camera, it was extremely high tech. It was the best technology at the time, in fact. DVD video cameras were basically an extension of the old camcorder technology. Unlike camcorders, however, they could take truly high-resolution images. The DVD video camera resolution was unheard of at that time. Best of all, the DVD video camera was much smaller than the camcorder I used to use. If you have ever used one of those old VHS camcorders, you know what I’m talking about.

Used digital camera

Friday, March 23rd, 2007

Digital cameras have come a long way in the last few years. It used to be that to even get a decent picture, you had to get the newest digital camera available. Only the most high-tech digital cameras would work. Other ones would have such low resolution that if you blew up the picture, you would barely be able to see anything. Nowadays, however, even the used digital cameras are amazing. The resolution has gotten so good, in fact, that a high end used digital SLR camera is nearly as good as a new one. If you are willing to buy a used camera, you can actually have professional grade photographs for a fraction of the price. I have been using a used digital camera for a long time, so I know.

Megapixels….Do Not Waste Money on Big Numbers

Wednesday, December 13th, 2006

New York Times tech guru David Pogue explains why more megapixels don’t add up to crisper, sharper images.Pogue took photos with 5-, 8- and 13-megapixel digital cameras, had them printed and blown up to poster size (16 X 24 inches). After they were attached to the window of a New York Circuit City store, he then asked passersby to pick out which ones came from the “better” cameras (to most people, meaning more megapixels).
