Two weeks ago, after a showing our brand new DVD camcorder went missing. Since we had no absolute proff that a young couple viewing our home took it, we had to just let it go. however, I took extensive measures to make sure it did not happen again. I hid cameras in all areas of the home (surveillance system). After the last showing I noticed many items had been moved about inside cupboards and things, so I reviewed the tape. The agent brought a family of five people. They scatterd about my home. This middle aged fat lady proceeded to dig through private areas in my home. Like under my bed, in my nightstand and in the closets. I don’t think she took anything, but she was sure looking hard! I had a curio cabinent full of over a $100,000 art collection, is was wrapped in a blanket , she pulled the blanket back and looked at all my stuff, but the agent was coming round the corner, so she failed to open it. ShouldI do something here? Agents, you need to watch your clients! This was bad

I think it’s a horrible idea. RFID chips on school uniforms is incredibly invasive, and it is very easily foiled to boot. I am a student myself and I would take this to be a serious insult on my maturity and judgement.

What are they going to do next, install microphone surveillance bugs on our foreheads? Maybe they should put security cameras in the shower rooms while they’re at it!

I swear, privacy is going straight down the toilet in our society.

By the way, I’d never kill a fellow American because of politics. This is just to show all of you that we’re all being exploited, regardless of our political beliefs. The President can now declare martial law.

Security cameras are a fact of life in today’s world. They’re everywhere — at the bank, in your employer’s office building, in stores, on streets, and in parking lots. Your opinion of security cameras is likely to depend on your personal experience with them.

For many, security cameras conjures up images of the time their car was vandalized in a “monitored” lot only to find that the camera wasn’t working. And, for those who have ever tried to set up a security camera surveillance system, the mere thought brings back feelings of frustration and confusion at how complex some systems are.

The good news is that they’ve come a long way since the 1960s and 70s. Security cameras were initially used by law enforcement and businesses to monitor high traffic areas and catch criminals in the act. In the late 1970s and early 80s, security cameras became more available for private and domestic use.

Today, new technologies have reduced the size of cameras from the large, boxy models used in the early days of video surveillance. Because most security cameras on the market today use digital technology, they are more reliable than the old videotape models. In addition, the systems are easier to set up than they once were.

Three exciting new technologies have the security camera industry all a-buzz. Security cameras are more versatile and powerful than ever.

The first is HomePlug technology, used to connect all the devices in the system to each other through a building’s power system. Through a HomePlug Adapter, users can actually plug the devices right into the electrical outlets, eliminating the need for any extra wires.

Systems that use this HomePlug technology are easier to set up than other models. The camera itself doesn’t need configuration, and there’s no need for wireless routers or networking equipment.

The second technology is called Universal Plug and Play (UPnP). UPnP makes it possible for a new security camera plug into a system and instantly communicate with other devices. They immediately have an IP address and tell other devices about their own capabilities. This means the cameras are ready to go in minutes.

UPnP makes it possible for users to control the resolution, recording schedules, and alerts for multiple cameras whether the cameras are indoors or outdoors.

The third technology involves Windows Media Video 9 encoding. Many cameras are being developed to work with this technology because it is an efficient and universal video compression tool. Cameras using Windows Media Video (wmv) format typically compress video to as much as 200 times smaller than the original size.

These compressed videos are then transmitted to your PC. With the right software in place, your PC becomes the video surveillance command center. Users can even set up email and cell phone alerts for remote access.

The world of video surveillance and security cameras has traveled light years since the early days. Thanks to this new technology, security cameras are now easy and affordable for the mainstream public. They’re widely available through a number of stores and on the Internet through web sites like, lukwerks.com, polarisusa.com, and skywaysecurity.com.

Enjoy the benefits of digital monitoring on your computer using digital video recorder (DVR) cards. To keep an eye on your business or monitor your home, just plug in the DVR card to your computer’s PCI slot, attach a camera, install the bundled software, and you are ready to go. You can record and display multiple cameras simultaneously from any remote location or the camera site with the included video surveillance software.

To use digital video recorder cards, your computer should have some minimum requirements, such as 512 MB RAM, an 80 GB hard drive, and an Intel Pentium 3 Original Chipset. In surveillance systems, digital video recorder cards are used to process information from the camera and send it to the hard drive. These security DVR cards receive analog videos from the camera and convert them into digital signals. The digital signal is then compressed using compression formats and sent to the storage device for archiving and playback.

AVerMedia offers the AVerDVR NV series, which are Windows-based DVR boards that include many advanced features. AVerMedia DVR cards feature pure hardware compression for enhanced picture quality, low bit rates, and reduced system cost. They also help you save your hard disk space. These PCI or PCI Express interface cards offer better performance and advanced search functionality. POS integration helps to associate retail transaction details with corresponding video images.

A wide range of AVerMedia digital recorder cards are available at ApexCCTV with different recording frame rates, image recording quality, and expandability. DVR cards have varying frames per second (fps), such as 30, 60, 120, 240, and 480. The fps determines the possible recording time of the device. These cards come with 4, 8, and 16 camera inputs, which can be expanded to 32.

The AVerMedia NV card series is designed to meet all your expectations from a DVR card. The AVerMedia DVR card line has a stackable structure. You can add multiple AVerMedia DVR cards to your PC to increase the recording speed and camera capacity.

Check whether your computer has an empty PCI slot to install AVerMedia digital recorder cards. The enhanced in-built processing power of these cards reduces the burden on the computer, so there is no fear of system failure. You can conveniently access video footage anywhere with the integrated remote functionality of these security DVR cards. The graphic user interfaces on all AVerMedia security DVR cards have powerful search and playback options, like video, event, visual, log, and intelligent search modes. AVerMedia DVR Cards offer password protection, audio and video recording synchronization, and much more.

They are ideal for low-profile applications and small venues. Some of the hybrid capture cards can be used for small educational institutions and medium-sized businesses.

Get these digital video recorder cards from ApexCCTV for your IP cameras and enjoy a user-friendly surveillance recording (DVR) solution.

This video shows some results from our work on intelligent video surveillance. Multiple targets are tracked across the scenes in the busy streets of Kanpur. The tracking algorithm does’nt assume any prior object model but learns and use the same to track. The algorithm works in real time - both background subtraction and tracking are accomplished at 10 frames per second on 320 x 240 images on an Intel 3.0 GHz single processor PC. If you are interested in our research work, please contact me …
